I ordered mine on sat, and this morning when I checked the shipping tracker it said that DHL already sent it out from Hong Kong. Damn fast!

Hopefully they won't be held up in customs for too long.

Yeah pretty weak. But after reading a lot of responses about the vme brand on the search on this forum many people have good feedback on these. So i'm confident on this purchase, plus this is my very first HID set so I am really stoked about installing these and seeing the outcome :sweet:


x2 lol ive never had an HID kit either

and wtf i ordered mine on sat at like 12 pm and i haven't gotten a tracking number or anything yet >.> lol

Anything from out of country will get some kind of screening coming into the states. And depending on the person screening, it may be held up for an undetermined amount of time. Electronics may be subject to an even closer look. I've received crap off ebay from european vendors days to weeks after the ship date with stamps informing me the packages had been gone through.

A delay with customs can be an issue with international shipping.

They look really good... a little warning tho the bulbs didn't fit perfectly... i had to file down the tabs on the new bulbs so that they would fit correctley... otherwise the installation was much more simple than the directions made it out to be... The first thing you should do is throw out the friggin directions cuz they suck.... its going to be a bit confusing but heres my explination. Every wire on the bulb except for the red and black bare metal tabs connects to the ballast ( as odd as that seems) and then the two little tabs connect to the old lights plug.

This means that the ballast connects to the bulb with like 3 different wires and the two bare "plugs" or male ends go into the old light connector thing...
