I'd also like to know if we can get them with the chrome housing.

Also, I'd like a spot but was wondering if its possible to make payment this Thursday/Friday (I'll be using paypal)

Only available with the black housing through Subaru.

Thursday/Friday is fine.

They do not come with a PNP harness.

They can be purchased directly through Jim Hoyd.

Thanks for going to so much trouble to take care of us Suby-heads! These lights are a dream X-mas present...

What's the time frame on this?

Deadline to sign up?

Time from GB close to payment due?

Time from payment due until lights start to show up?

Is the shipping through UPS again, I saw a lot of broken lights in the other group buy?

WRXMotorWorks
11-11-2002, 10:44 PM
We will start shipping the next group buy using FedEx as they seem to be more careful.

Money can be sent at anytime, first people to send payment will receive the lights in that order.

I have no doubts 25 people will sign up.

Even if 20 sign up, we will buy the other 5 sets.

I think people are just being plan selfish here. There must be a lot of interest, but then they want to be the last couple entries so they DON'T WANT TO WAIT!!!

If everyone don't act up or still have this kind of attitude... Then this Group buy will either takes forever or it will never happen!!!

Guys, let's come together and you'll see how quick this Group buy can be establish. You'll get the lights quick because WRXmotorWorks have excellent customer service.

Think about it guys, there are over 1700 visits already on this thread. Even if only 1% of people who's interested, that's already 17 people who's going to buy. MAKE SENSE???

Your only allowed one GB at a time:

See this tread if you haven't read it:
Vendor Sticky w/GB rules (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=241709)

You can't bring up old buys and start over.

Please let me know which GB you'd like to keep going. That thread will stay and the others will be removed.

If the lights are damaged in any way, can I exchange it?

Have had numerous emails and this will be the final GB as the lights will not be in mass production anymore starting in February when the 2003 is released.

$875 is below the MSRP in Switzerland.

are the plug n play harnesses ready to use? Are there any more modifications that have to be made to them?

brentlz
12-02-2002, 12:15 AM
Hamzor: The harness is available over at http://www.jimhoyd.com/ ... Or they will be when back in stock.

Wiring diagram is available there too. Doesn't look too difficult to build (not sure how tough it will be to locate proper connectors).

BTW: You know you want these headlights! Now off to find 14 to 19 more friends who must have them too :D

I thought I read somewhere that those harnesses need some splicing... this true or are they all ready?

pittkid333
12-02-2002, 08:26 AM
They need to be spliced into the wiring on the lights...I dont think there is any "true" plug and play, and this is as close as it gets...

Let's go guys...These aren't going to get any cheaper

Hamzor
12-02-2002, 11:36 AM
So these lights do not have connectors and need to be spliced to the harnesses?

Also, is it possible to add HIDs to these lights?


thanks!

pittkid333
12-02-2002, 12:22 PM
HID's are possible...
There was a post on here at some point about the STi lights having an extra connector (4 connectors/plugs), whereas the USDM has only 3...So the STi has to have two of the beams spliced into one...In short the lights have connectors, but to fit USDM the hafta be spliced... :)

I want these lights and no others. I am also not thrilled by the no refund policy. I don't want to step on the toes of WRXmotorworks. I know how difficult and frustrating import/export can be.

So, to get things moving I am proposing my services as an escrow agent. It would work something like this. Money Orders or certifed checks, payable to WRX Motorworks or their designee, are deposted in an escrow account under WRXmotorworks' tax ID #. I have an escrow account 'cuz I am a lawyer. The escrow agent will not release the money untill the escrow agreement terms are met. In this case enough people to satisfy the group buy. We could close the window on this by say the end of January 2003. This would be the only way to get your money back.

Or WRXMotorworks could change its refund policy

This is only a suggestion that I have made to do something other than plead with the rest of the people who have looked but not sent in their money. Please don't flame me too much.

My concern is that if the GB does not get enough people, the money would still be non refundable. If that is not so, if I can get a refund if the GB does not come to fruitition, I will be calmed and will send my $. Did I misunderstand?

If you commit and the GB flops because of lack of people, Gary will either try and get a number of lights for the commited buyers or he will refund. What Gary means is once 25 have commited you can't back out or say you don't want them anymore, you've already paid and you will recieve lights, if you don't want them anymore then sell them on privatly.

Gary is in business and does not rip people off, especially when nasioc.com is a majority of his buisness.

Could I upgrade to a HID setup later with these? Or is the housing set for halogen bulbs only?

Stated another way, are these the same lights as the LHD STi HIDs just without the HID?

I would like to get something that I can upgrate to HID later and not blind people because I am using the wrong reflection housing.

If this future upgrade path is possible, I will sign up.

Sure, almost anything can be upgraded to HID. The resulting pattern can be crap.

I'm pretty sure there is no LHD factory HID unit so I don't know how the pattern would change, but str8out from the tri-state has a set of HID's on his LHD lights...Maybe try searching his post or PM'ing him...

Especially when you are buying from another person that posted this GB on his first ever post and the only other person that backed him up just joined that day.

Good Luck.

hey gary,
no disrespect intended. i'm not trying to hijack your gb as that wouldn't be fair to the 10 guys already waiting patiently. i avoided mentioning any identifying remarks about the other gb other than price (which is in line with some of the other posts). besides, both prices are comparable. it's a question of how quickly i can get the lights. regardless, i think you're providing the group with a really great deal on a hard to find piece (which i had all intentions of joining) and am planning to buy from you in the future.

as for the risk of dealing with the other guy (a nasioc vendor), it's all cc (using my Internet-only dedicated cc). :)

best of luck,
kilyung

I don't know about anyone else, but this is a really bad time for this current GB. I can see the Christmas gift angle, but I think it's the opposite. Most people here are too busy buying gifts for other people and don't have money right now for these. (ie ME :) ) If this GB does end on Dec 31st, wlil there be another in a month or so? I'd love to jump in on this, but the timing is sooo bad for me.

Here is the information from Gary's first post. The full amount is required to get into the buy. I mailed my payment to this address without incident:

"Price on the headlights is $875 shipped.

Payment can be made via 2 ways paypal or bank/ cashiers check/money order.

Paypal payments have a handling charge of $25

Please note all headlights are shipped insured, if a breakage does occur, we will take care of it.

No refunds or cancellations once payment is sent.

Paypal ID is wrxmotorworks@cs.com

Or send payment to:

WRX MotorWorks

626-676-3321

Paypal users must be verified and shipped to a confirm address ONLY."

The headlights should come with all of the necessary bulbs. You will plug the stock turn signal plug into the new light and that will take care of the turn signal and city light.

Sorry guys have not received a response from anyone in customs on what the hold up is.

If i don't see anything by Tuesday i will need to email Switzerland and have them get to the bottom of it.

I'll keep you guys in the loop.

Hopefully i should see them soon.

So...........how annoying is this?

CC-B has 7 of these headlights in stock right now.

Gary,

Maybe you could work a deal with them and make 7 of us happy?

everytime I try to order something from some vendor on this board, something happens, "the part will be coming in on the next shipment from japan...in two months", "we have Utec's" and you buy it and a month later they say its "on back order" than it take another month to get a refund thru paypal(not gary for the record). Personally, I am getting tired. I pay in a timely manner, I dont think it is too terrible to expect to receive my products in the same way. Gary, I am not flaming you or trying to give you a hard time, but I really did expect for this to take this long. It was an impulse purchase and gosh darn it....this is killing the fun of it :)

I still have much luv for you tho gary.

I see you are selling LHD lights on your website for $975.00

I would hope that you are not selling them from out from under us because you can get more money. I would like the harness and leveler switch but I am very leary giving you any more of my money until you deliver what we paid for.

OK guys.

Some good news.

Spoke to US Customs today and they stated they have located 4 sets of lights that they have been holding mixed up in another shipment.

They said i should have them by weeks end.

They are tracking the others down as we speak.

Cheers,
