martinc: Mine arrived, latest revision without complaint. Quality appears solid. The owner stayed in contact with me during the wait. Thanks!

Doesn't McCoy Motorsports have one on their site for 159.99??? BTW, I would not recommend the Hightec Speed kit. Basically, a real bitch to install, and the control unit is not waterproof.

Personally HTS has solved many of their problems now.. They basically sold over 100 units.. (and yes it took over 4 months) to test them.. We e-mailed them back with all the problems.. Like.. I myself.. had about 6 connectors pop out.. and these things are little as **** (mind my french) Like hell was I going to send back the units to them.. and wait another 4 months.. The first few that got the kits from HTS basically have flawed units.. Bad connectors... No waterproofing.. so on so forth.. If you order their kit now.. I'm betting it wont be as bad.. But I myself would never buy a product from a company that uses a "non" finished product to sell and test the market.. and still doens't offer us to upgrade for free... Would never buy another product from HTS no matter how good it is.. :fact

I made my own tail light, I kinda ripped off the custom led design, but mine is half the cost! http://68.144.215.93/bert/luke%20left.JPG http://68.144.215.93/bert/luke%20right.JPG and my LEDs are brighter...he takes off too many red ones, I like things as stock as possible...I had to do something cause my highmount wouldnt go with stock signals

I ordered the CustomLed unit and it was on back order plus I did not like how many red LED's were eliminated. In addition, the price is a bit high in my opinion. I wanted the Samanna kit but did not want to wait. I purchased the Amber Flux LED boards from http://www.graphicartmotodesign.com/ and installed them today. It took me over four hours because I took my time and made sure everything was done top notch. I must say, it looks great and I saved a ton of money. The flux boards only cost $59.95 plus $7.00 s/h and they are very high quality. Check out the pics below. http://members.core.com/~krydz/Pictures/R1/Tailight%20Mod/Flux%201.jpg http://members.core.com/~krydz/Pictures/R1/Tailight%20Mod/Flux%202.jpg http://members.core.com/~krydz/Pictures/R1/Tailight%20Mod/Taillight%20on.JPG http://members.core.com/~krydz/Pictures/R1/Tailight%20Mod/Left%20Sig%20on.JPG http://members.core.com/~krydz/Pictures/R1/Tailight%20Mod/Right%20Sig%20on.JPG I only eliminated four red led's and it is hard to tell when you look at it. The only problem was that Graphic Art took a long time to get the LED's to me but I am also pretty impatient ;)
