Ice, if you and hollywood made the right turn to go the observatory you would have encounterd the most wicked "S" turns ever. My women were getting sick b/c I was tossing the car so much and I admit I was getting a little sick myself. I had to ease up thereafter and didn't take any more hard turns.

I don't think all 20 AIBs that were shipped out from the group buy are all defective. I think it's a case-by-case basis. I would suggest when you receive yours that you install them and see for yourself.

A lot of other people that got their AIBs have no issues. So, it's only a small minority that are encountering problems.

For sure my friend and I would've been sick if we followed you, he was getting sick already

Jiio, that is strange. Both of my rings would light, but one side would be dimmer than the other. Just got a email today from Custom Angel Eyes saying they received my defective bulb and they would be shipping out a new one on the 30th. Hopefully this new bulb will work. And according to Iceman, they should also refund my shipping via paypal. We'll see. I'll try the FM test when I get the new bulbs installed.
