Do you by any chance live in Florida?

I wish! I’m in Texas. But I do daily drive and wash my gladi at least once a week if that helps.

Okay I think I'm ready for production.
I just need connectors to arrive, and place a order for a bunch of lights.

What's going to happen first. I will send probably two pairs out for people to test and report back to everyone the quality and if they feel it is worth the money, along with testing it in everyday use.

So I need people who:

1. Drive their jeep every day and let it sit outside all day.

2. Goes off-roading so I can see how they perform with chassis twist.

3. Washes their jeep like a ocd person so I can see how they perform from scrubbing, soaps, waxes, polishes and whatever else.

I would prefer the two people I send it to, to be all the above lol.

So when I get these sent out, I will start a waiting list. No sort of deposits will be made until after testing. I also need to read the forums rules for selling on here before I start production.

I will also offer painted tail lights, but only for the single stage paints, like black, yellow, white, red and whatever other non metallic jeep colors their are.

These will have a lot higher of a price tag due to sanding, priming, and painting. Painting will be a base coat clear coat process... usually 3 coats of each. More than likely looking at around $1000.00 for painted tail lights. Let me know if that is something you all will be interested in.

I'm down, let me know!

Lol at this point I'm waiting on connectors to get here... Also need to order a supply of lights.....

Until then, I'm working on fine tuning the 3d prints

I've been checking this thread every day, really can't wait to see these on my truck. Thanks for all your hard work on these prototypes!

Thank you all for following and supporting the idea!!!

I'm going to order 10 sets of lights for now.

While waiting for everything to arrive from China, I will refine and tune the model and printing process.

I will also work on the hyper flash error.

And try to figure out a solution for blind spot detection.

Yeah, have to check the thread daily, if not twice a day with how quickly it grew. What, no new pictures on this particular page yet

Ha ha ha that's a true story. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures at the moment.. I've been working on sanding the newer version so I can have another painted set for myself.

With this I decided to start experimenting with fastest ways to fill and have less sanding. Looks like glazing putty and filler primer is the best route.

Here's a picture for today

I could be buying another printer with this money :-(

 

[Minty JL]

Ahh, spend that money LOL

I've also been looking at some lights from them, mainly the knock-off ARB round LEDs. Let me know how shipping from them goes!

Ended up being a little more than expected. But they said it would be shipped by Sunday at the latest.. my track record with DHL is usually 3-4 days... So should have the lights next week.

But I'm getting DHL shipping $140
Each light for $34 x 20 = $680
Then wonderful taxes $83.64

Total = $903.64

= $45.20 per light

Which is cheaper than anywhere else I can find. So I'll take it as a win.
