tell me about it!!!!!!!!
I have been tracking the package since Friday!
It was supposed to be A saturday del from UPS.
It has now gone between Louisville and Indy twice and today went back to Indy! I am sooooooooo not happy at this moment!
Ups is telling me that its has now been routed correctly to the Cincinnati hub and I "should" have it tomorrow.

Oh no... do these things 'light up' or do they just mount where the headlamps go and take up space!? This looks like it could be dissapointing.

As I stated twice before in this post.......
They are complete replacement housings in carbon.
We use these on our race cars because the OEM headlights weight about 15- 20 lbs each
No lights.......
They are a race/track part..........
Sorry to dissapoint!
