Greece is no problem. Just register on the site.
Shipping is auto-calculated.
Deadline is when we have the second prototype, the price will be raised (assuming the second prototype is to our satisfaction) and we'll begin release of the product on Sept 1st, maybe sooner.

No the second prototype - which has not been delayed til next week - will allow us to test everything again.
Upon release it will be $199. (final version).

Predator ICE? PRODUCT UPDATE
Exciting Developments
New prototype - see pictures below - works round the clock with no failures.
New protoype is still 3X brighter than the PIAA
New prototype is exactly as bright as the nearest $350 competitor
New prototype has an encapsulated projector that aims the lights of the LED more accurately.
New prototype fits with NO EFFORT and is COMPLETELY PLUG AND PLAY with no modifications.
New prototype builds on the notion that you can install it to run like stock (via the parking light switch) or set it as DRL enabled.
Challenges to Overcome
The color is not what I wanted, it's 5000K, we're shooting for 6000K or 7000K for a more pure white look with no hints of blue- this is relatively minor and does not affect the delivery of the product.
The brightness that we're aiming for is 1.2 to 1.3X brighter than what we have now. That means, we're shooting for 30% more output. Our dilemma is that if we shoot for more output, the cost of the product will not change, but the design changes in 3 key ways:
1) we have to use an external heat sink as the brighter LED runs much hotter and over runs the existing setup.
2) it will delay the production of the units by one month
3) It will not be as elegant a design.
So, we have to ask the customers that have both already paid for this and those that are interested in getting them, what do you want us to do? Do you want us to go ahead and make this one? Or do you want us to make a technologically better product but delay production...
We'll wait to get a conglomeration of thoughts by the end of this Sunday and provide a summary to our factory...

I'd say just go with what u hav now...
its simply plug and play which most of us 5er owners like.
with the extra effort to try to make it brighter and the extra heat sink , It might cause more complication (such in installation and possibly still some overheat prob)
I say what u got is good to go if its just as bright as the competitor (u definitely got the edge cuz urs costs only 1/3 of the competitor's) and I will def get a set of them. its just my 2 cents thx
