Any chance of a brighter yellow. I don't want the angel eye's to blend in with the xenon's. I like them in their stock colors but just a tad brighter would be nice.
Exactly what I also whant more brihgter yellow or orange

Predator ICE PRODUCT UPDATE #2


Exciting Developments
  • Only a 3 week delay to increase to 3.5X of PIAA.
  • Given the relatively small delay, we feel this is a good/fair trade off.
  • New unit will be brighter than the nearest $350 competitor
  • A Final Prototype will be ready by Aug. 30th.
  • Current price has been changed to $129 <-- this is to continue to encourage pre-orders and to allow you guys to get in "on the ground floor" of a major product development.
  • We are really pleased to announce we've broken the 100 unit pre-order threshold we set out 1 month ago.
Challenges to Overcome
Time. That is our biggest challenge. We don't want to make mistakes with this.
We will not be introducing multiple colors at first. The only color we plan is 6000K to start with. HOWEVER, we will introduce a way to change the color (we haven't completely figured out the "elegant" nature of this simple change yet.)

Most importantly, we sincerely apologize for adding to the delay after we have told some of you that we would continue to proceed with it. The decision was made late tonight when the ability to speed up (originally though to be 4-6 weeks) the higher output version was lade out at Sept. 20th. This represents only 3 short weeks that will coincide with the release of our marketing campaign.

We assure you, our retailers are not happy about our insistence on the low pre-order price point (basically cost) and once the product is fully realized and shipping, the retailers will likely dictate the price structure.

We hope to have the best product out the gate by a mile. Thank you for your continued patronage. As always, stay tuned as much as possible for your updates.

So if we want to have colored angel eyes but still get in on the $129 pre-order price how is that going to work?

I already paid for the blue 2 weeks ago, that's the only color I want. I don't want to wait another 3 weeks, please ship whatever you have on September 1st.

Ok, no problem here, until 20 - max. end of September, but I wouldn't like a longer delay than that.
I can understand the difficulties when a sensitive product like that is starting its production. Price and efficiency are ok. Reliability (safety and stability) is my main interest on that kind of products.

Thanks
Nick

Umnitza, any initial issues with radio static as others with AIBs have complained about? I believe the dimness/brightness issue has been beaten to death and isn't even worth mentioning...

Thanks in advance...
