This was taken at around 4pm just a bit before the sun sets.
And from a closer look the fitment isn't good?
I already posted pictures of the fitment close up. Should be a few pages back.

Aiming for a cheaper price point than 2k....cherry housings are definitely in the game plan

Who would spend $600+ just to "test" an item? What a way to waste your $$$. Majority of people don't buy to test especially if it costs hundreds of dollars.

Test as in they are going to try the item out and if they like it, they'll stick to it saving X amount of money over the alternative. If they aren't happy with it then they may be able to return them for a refund or they may end up eating the cost as part of the gamble. If they share their experience, it could really benefit the community and a lot of people would be thankful.

So would you rather not have anyone be the guinea pig and just leave the fitment and quality issues in the air? I did this so I can see if it's worth peoples times to even spend that money and wait weeks for an untested item because I'm fortunate enough to be in a position to help my fellow forum members. I don't see why that can be such a big deal for you to write something like that. I don't tell you how you should be spending your money. Let me "waste" mine in peace.

Exactly.

Curious to see how these 2 compare.
I contacted the manufacterer and for the F32/F82 they only should make the version without the line in de led panels due to problem that they are not bright enough under sunlight...

When i asked him, he said the V1 is brighter then the V2....
Don't know how this could be different

I get ancy and impatient too, but I'm the guy who'll wait for the 'LCI'. Lol. But, if I found a set locally, v1 or v2, for the right price, I'd pull the trigger.

The wiring harness of V1 sucks. The wires are too short and am having trouble tucking it in. Any solutions? Can you cut off the harness you don't need?
