    Well guys and gals, I haven't been on the sight in awhile. I have also not heard anything from Sebastian recently. I will try to contact him on Monday and find out what the holdup is now. These have been in the works for over a year and I am growing real frustrated with them.

    I will post as soon as I know anything.

    Thanks for the patience.

    I wonder if that prototype with the backwards board is any indication that something went wrong. Maybe they spent some dough on that mistake and don't think it's cost effective to correct things now. Maybe?

    John posted (#49) that they put them in backwards, the "production" ones will be correct he said.

    I hope this works, click the link.

    Please don't pay attention to the way the light is traveling. they installed the board upside down in my housing. The final product will illuminate from the inside out.

    Enjoy and drool.

    I saw that, Dave. But it just doesn't add up to fall off the radar when you've got a "working prototype" and customers waiting to return your investment - unless the fix isn't so simple. You'd think we'd have at least heard something since then, if not had them on our cars. Oh well, purely speculation on my part. I hope they are just too busy putting them in pretty boxes right now.

    I really like yours Dean! If this thing doesn't pan out, maybe you could pitch hit.

    I want em too:confused: Although my car is not ready for them yet, I am starting to think I need to figure out how to make these myself. It would be a lot easier to buy them and bolt them in:TU: I hope they come up with some soon!

    So where are we at with this technology? I'm sure you can get them for any year Chevelle right out of the box. What about a 69GS?

    Ya I agree, it is funny that they sent them out wrong.

    It must not have been an easy fix, if it was John could have just flipped them. Must not have been enough wiring or something like that.

    (in my best evil villian voice) I smell something funny going on................. :af: :af: :af:
