Umnitza tC Projector project - UPDATES ONLY!!!
We did get a minor glimmer of hope yesterday when the MFG admitted to make the first major step towards making us happy.
After many round and round emails, it has been determined that there are plans to implement an OE style headlight into the MFG process.
This is a MAJOR first step as this has in the past led to further development into "performance lighting" parts along similar lines. We will be in discussions further to see if we make major recommendations for aesthetics, performance, and cost.

they keep getting screwed by the manufacturers.. and none so far have been able to meet the quality standards that they want produced...
they're getting tossed around and in turn we get to suffer as well... but hey.. they're doing what they can... they won't let loose a product that won't meet their standards.

well i saw the prototype just as in the picture in person. it looks really good, that's why i want these soo bad. everything is nice all we have to do is really have big patience with them.
well i emailed with them the other day and they said they wouldnt know anything till they get to meet with the current MFG and we would know something else in this process by the end of march.
and I agree that umnitza would be getting annoyed with all the hating. jeez if you can do it better or get someone else to do it better then just leave the damn threads alone and go do that or go complain elsewhere.
and stop talking about how so much money blahblahblah, together it was a large sum and i beleive they are doing their best. When it boils down to each individual it wasnt that much money at all, and when you invest in such things you have to accept the risk of maybe losing your $20 and honestly to cry over $20 loss, you should feel lucky that thats all you had to lose with an investment.

April 1st we are actually visiting the factory and taking the headlights with us to get them to make them. Don't worry. It will be made, one way or another, or we'll give you guys your $20 back through credits for whatever we can ship to you.
Ok, the update is there is no update.
DEPO is not committing to a date - casually letting on that by September they think they'll have someone finishing up the MFG of the OE replacement and it's usually 2 months after that for the performance lights.
For now, I'm going to push you guys towards accepting a product in return for your $20 deposits.
Anyone that has paid, and we have your list, will have the option of holding out or receiving our Predator Xenix bulbs in return for dropping off the list.
You have to contact us via email and we won't be taking any requests until April 16 (we are moving our facility to a larger nicer one) so DO NOT SEND EMAILS UNTIL THEN.
At that point, if you do not receive an email reply with a tracking for your bulbs, or if we do not receive an email from you by April 30th, we'll assume you want to still be the first on the list for when the actual projectors arrive.
I will keep you posted as best I can. Things can change for the better in a moment's notice.

I will wait for these, but bake my current and put angel eyes into them

That promise still stands. We offered many people a chance to back out and get a product instead for the $20, that's pretty ethical if you ask me.
Now, instead, you start this "lose" customers nonsense. Come on now.
Again, I hope for all your sakes, that we get this to you, because there is nothing I'd like more than to get it done for you. Nothing.
i remember pictures. it was the headlamp in various stages of togetherness and some with the lights/angel eyes on. they also posted some pictures here of the same thing, its the guy with the white kami tC.
