Thread: Group Buy Update (Spyder Auto Projector Head lights)

Yes, they're still issues we're working out,

Such as?

Still considering a set...if people would pay their out standing balances on time, I would have your funds now.

Have to remember...90% of the customers who buy GP/W-Body after market parts put everything under the micro scope and will complain about the littlest things. But i am sure you knew this going in. LOL Not a big deal to me, as long as it doesn't break or burn up the set, I'm good.

Someone I know locally has a set installed already, I'll be checking them out this weekend in person, so Sunday will be the last day of course, and the day I will place my order if I want to get a set.

From what I've seen so far they are very high quality. Most complaints I've seen have been operator error with either improper install, not knowing how to aim, jumping to conclusions, etc.

Condensation most likely from humidity, moisture from shipping and install. I'm pretty sure almost all, if not all, cases have not happened again.

I don't see the minimal crossing from close distances as being a problem. All light patterns properly adjusted I've seen have been beyond acceptable and output a huge improvement over stock.

Some people also did not have both tabs installed correctly, wires in the way, forced brackets, etc. Others didn't know how to operate the adjusters either initially making their installs difficult.

I will try to get some pics of mine installed when I can, but I'm more concerned with getting the lens off than any issues. I am debating buying H1 HID bulbs or sticking with the halogens. I already have the HID kit, but need to replace my 9007 HID bulbs. I also plan to run highs with lows, replace my Catz driving lights to match projectors color(too yellow of light output for me), wire halos to parking lights, alarm flash to parking lights, run led switchbacks for the corners/turns, and my mods.

Retail prices I've seen range anywhere from $425 to $500+ shipped. Remember also, Spyder is mainly a wholesale distributor so when it's done, it's done and you will be paying more and dealing with vendors (some reputable, some not so much). John has had excellent customer service and gone above and beyond. This whole group buy and dealing with some of CGP would have left a bad taste in my mouth if I was him. I only hope the GP community eventually buys as enthusiastically as interest was. Anyone that's been around GPs knows how that one goes.

I will be getting mine today, paypaling you in a few minutes. Got to see my set in person yesterday on a locals car, and hear his honest feed back. What he said was good enough for me. Only complaint was how they fit flush with the bumper/hood/fender area as his right was was perfect, but his left one was about 3/8" off everywhere. I figure if mine do this, I can just work the lights in around the car to make them sit perfect or as close to stock as possible.

I know nothing about these... What wiring is need if any? Plug and play? I have HIDs w/ 9007s currently, will these work with this? Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure if I like these or not. All I know is i need new corners and headlights and I may consider upgrading to these for the hell of it.

I just want them because of the light output is second to none even with the stock bulbs these come with, blow the stock headlights away. I might run HID's down the road, but as they come right out of the box is more than fine with me.

I'm not thrilled about the over all looks, or the fit issues many are having, but small price to pay I guess. I believe he extended the group buy to Tuesday only...so today being Wednesday, your kinda S.O.L. on getting a set cheaper now.
