Man I'm so pissed. Paid for retrofit projectors on 1/27/14 and emailed em asking on status. They haven't even started!!!!! Description says 2 weeks. So fn aggravating. Body shop called me saying they are waiting on the lights and can't continue without em. Bad situation.

Body shop should be able to do everything but hang the bumper cover assembly. They could do everything- then get the lights, and in 1 hr deliver the vehicle. just sayin.

That's what I thought but someone from the shop called me saying they weren't working on the front end until I bring them the headlights.

I have been around auto-body my whole life. Some shops are just like that. My guess is that they want them to make sure everything 'lines' up. But the arent adjustable for fitment, so it doesn't make sense to me.

I hope they get your lights soon- I was seriously considering them- but if you have issues getting them in a timely manner- it may change my mind.

Actually that's exactly what they said! They needed everything to line up. The guy at the retro place told me it takes 2-3 days to finish putting them together but that and shipping time alone is already a week away...
