Hello Martin,

We are getting our shipments of all the Raptor systems in by Wednesday. We will be catching up ASAP to all the backordered items and shipping them out hopefully by the end of this weekend. If you wish to cancel this order, you will need to notify us right away. If not, once the item is ready to be shipped out, a tracking number will be provided to you.

Thank you

the bulbs on the left are really nice and sturdy the wire going up the side into the bulb is much thicker then the cheapys they fit really snug into the headlight housing i broke my bulb lock rings because i didnt notice a rubber chingas that i hade to remove but i didnt trip on it because they were so tight ones on the left are supper cheap pastic junk with a tiny wire going into the bulb they fit sooo losse in the headlight housing that they would probley leak even with the lock rings

both kits are supposed to come with the same bulbs and wiring 35w/55w raptor or slimballast

maybe you will get a second set on here that you can ship to someone, say in calgary ab canada, for a reduced price off of what they charge? you make money, and someone similar to me might save...

you get the 55w hi/lo slim kit?

Tyler... can you do a simple How-To for the Hi/Lo kit? All there is in that section is a single filament I think.

only have cell phone pics. and no nighttime shots yet

they are bright as hell though lol.

and like others ,the polarity is backwards. so high beams are on when the truck says lows, and vice versa. do i just switch it up in the 9007 connector?
