What is the chance of getting one clear and one smoke to make a set?

The first batch is being sent today.

I was told from my freind at the machine shop they would have been done a lot sooner but it didnt go the way he planned so it delayed me. Sorry about this.

I will work on the items you stated. Thank you for the help.

Well i got everyone who ordered theres sent to them. I luckily had just enough for the people on here that bought. When they were machined I only had like 12 total usable sets out of what should of been 50 sets. When i cut them for using on the cnc i guess i got a little to close to measurements and i made some sides a little small buy less than .01. So i have like 30-40 sets witha rough edge. I lost a little bit of money on the first round and i have been extremely busy at work and have not had time to do anything with them right now. I do not think at this point in time will be making any more.

We had led's in our Crossfire and had trouble with them. I have ordered new ones that are suppose to be of better quality. The issue with ours was they were for like 3 months then all of the sudden i was following my wife one night and realized one was out and the other was flashing consistently. Hopefully the new ones are a little better.

Installed the lenses tonight with 6500k LED lights -- couldn't be happier with the appearance. Perfect fit, too.

Only issue was the rubber grommets came off on the old lenses... so I guess I'll have to use some RTV silicone to keep moisture out.

I had a set on for a year before I put the blinding multi-LED MB units in ( like your running lights ), no problems.
But, then, I seldom drive at night.

OEM are $40/pair from Needswings.
People tighten them down too much and crack them.
