Do they have to produce/make after an order is put in or do they have them instock?
Any picture of the back of the housing? Just curious as to how the connectors are.
Thanks.

From what I know from over 10 years of doing biz with China and peripheral countries, keep insisting. Get on the phone if you can (with skype is virtually free). Tell them that you need to make a small order to check average batch quality or something of that effect. Chances are that they will not understand what you are saying anyway. Keep insisting. But remember that when you order more, some might be defective and you'll have to deal with that too.

Where is the factory? Shenzhen?

I think this is good advice and perspective. I can't say I have dealt in any meaningful extent with the Taiwanese but I have dealt with the South Koreans. Repetitive insistence works! Also, tie ongoing future sales by you via Ebay to the first batch order, priced right, there are tons of 97-04 Boxster owners that should line up for these lights!

Good luck Omar, we are counting on you!

PS
you may want to also tell them that this product is hot right now and if they dilly-dally, customers you have lined up will lose interest. Also, these lights on cars will serve as mobile adverstisements!

The factory is in Taiwan , I have spoke with them on the phone, the prices went up 30-50% since the first convo back in February , until I made my sample order (the ones you see) , they also have told me they made a few deals with America sellers and have shipped by sea , and we're waiting for them to recieve their shipment prior to me being able to order them .

I told them that I have a lot of local customers who do not want to wait weeks , I'll see what they respond with .

If I'm unable to get them in 2 week , I will not pursue the order , or to distribute them , them same thing will happend it's the led tails , they will be alot the first 6-8mo , then drop to half price once everyone has them ? So I'll let u guys know the minute I sp , ap far I'm really with the way mine tuRned out and it makes a huge difference for 911 and boxsters without litronics

I think I'm going to wait till Spring to get these. I ordered the LED tails when they first came out and i think they were like $800. Now they are $400. Well worth the wait with this winter coming.

Omar has been in PM communication with me throughout and was extremely helpful in patiently answering all my questions and still has a standing offer to help me install the lights once I get them. Thanks for all your help! Appreciate it very much!
