Henny 0 Posted January 27, 2005 yup, I only offered my smoked lights IF the clear tops were available... I didn't know that Riley had already put his name down on 'em... :oops: Tempest, yup, I agree, it's gotta be a first come - first served thing and you've done a great job with setting up and running this group buy... 8) The Hub, Sorry about that mate, I didn't know they'd already been spoken for... riley, sorry for any confusion caused... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hub 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Not to worry Riley, I do believe that you contacted tempest first so there for you should have first refusal on the lights :wink: I am sure you can understand that when i read the post I assumed no one else had been interested as no one else had posted or showed there interest on the Thread. Shouldn't jump to conclusions in future :roll: Just have to wait till the next GB No hard feelings mate 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Ok, folks, just had confirmation from my source in Germany: Lights are on their way to me :-) Just have to wait till the next GB Might be sooner than later then. You might also be lucky that someone decides they don't like their lights (as happened with last year's group buy) and puts them up for sale shortly after ...

Henny 0 Posted January 28, 2005 yeah, Riley, I'm thinking the same about the black ones being a bit too dark on a pearl grey C... Well, I'll try 'em and see what I think, if I don't like 'em with either the Grey of my new one or the Blue of J-DUB, I'll sell 'em on and wait until the next group buy and get some more M3 styleeee ones... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Nope, nothing has arrived yet ... I know from past experience that it can take a good week to get parcels shipped either way unlike letters which typically make it in 3 days or so. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Coming home today I found a DHL-delivery card, went to the depot (it was after 19:00) only to be told that they're open only from 9 till 5 ... typical. Woohay, could the taillights have arrived? Haven't ordered anything else recently, honestly ;-) Right, will go back tomorrow during my working hours then :lol: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted February 3, 2005 OK, folks, you might think we're an automotive parts company, but I can assure you (and JimsG60 will be able to confirm) we are actually an IT company :lol: OK, not the best piccie, but at the top of those 2 large boxes is one smoked lens :-) Will start shipping out today. OK, some info on how to fit these (even though it's been discussed before: DO NOT follow the enclosed fitment instructions!!! Those instructions suggest cutting the existing wiring loom. DO NOT do this! Instead look carefully at the plug that you take off your existing tail light, and you'll realise that you can insert some nice flat/blade crimp connectors (available from the likes of Maplins, mine came from my former university :oops:, on loan, of course :lol: ) into the plug. Crimp flat/blade connectors onto the In.Pro light wires, fit the lights to your Rado, and insert the connectors into the existing plug, voila, job done. Hope that makes sense :D Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 3, 2005 now that's a lotta lights! :lol: 8) Cheers once again Tempest! I can't wait to get my hands on these! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Bit of a set-back: One set of clear/reds is still missing, and another set is damaged :-( As I was applying the address labels in no particular order, the last 2 in the pile of clear/reds have been PMed about this, as I am waiting for a response from the German seller as to when and how I'll be getting the 2 sets. All the other sets should go out today with a bit of luck. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
