Well, Im not setting the price so Im not real sure. Also, the light that broke actually broke in a second spot - so Im not too sure whats going to happen. I think they are going to start looking for another set of donors to try a different set up, but thats still in the planning process (unless we have a volunteer!?)

so like...What exactly is going on with my headlights...am I screwed or are they going to somehow fix them or make it right Try and keep me posted on this stuff bro I don't even really know how they are making the headlights even. Are they like making fiberglass projector molds to put in the headlight. Did they break on the clear Plastice part of the headlight, on the black side, or inside(which shouldn't really matter since these are project) I am just confused how you can break a headlight, because when I tore my headlights apart to paint the insides black I didn't break anything except on one and it was the removable peace that I painted black. Hell a dealer at the car dealership where I bought my car showed me how strong the headlights were by punching the front of the light with his fist. Gimme some details aight!

Prosky - you must not have gotten the email I sent you with the details. I guess I can retype it all here, its nothing that needs to be kept secret.

Well, It sounds to me that they are just reworking the stock housing a little to fit a projector lens in there. What they did, was shave part of the insides out so that they could fit a nice size projector lens inside. While they were fitting the lens, I guess the whole insides where the projector will be going cracked in several directions. My conclusion to what the dude told me is that they glued the inside back together so that you couldnt see anything wrong once the projector lens is inside. Bad part of the thing was, they must have shaved out too much because it made the entire housing weak. It fell off the table and broke in a couple other spots. I have no clue if the clear cover is broken or not... they didnt tell me anything about that. As of now, they have one headlight practically destroyed (they are working on getting it back together) and another one take apart and shaved out like the first one. Not sure if they have tried putting the lens inside the second one yet, but we'll see. Prosky bro, I hope you're not out a set of lights, but the way its going... I wouldnt count on getting them back

i know it was mentioned already, but worse comes to worse and you can get either or both headlights from eBay for pretty cheap. as an example :

but there are others for sale if you need both
