Including the HID lights and fabrication time it took me, probably $2000 CAD.

Update as of 630pm January 7, 2004

4 people have paid, and I have recieved funds. That includes In order of payment

1. captnruff 500E fourm wanting nonfacelifted 500E euro lights with vacuum adjust kit

2. TomS from mercedesshop wanting facelifted lights 94 E500 euro lights (w/ fog), turn signals, and vacuum adjust kit

3. dieseldiehard from mercedesshop wanting non facelifted lights, with vacuum adjust kit

4. Cannoli from 500e forum wanting non facelifted 500E euro lights with vacuum adjust kit


Cashier's check was faxed and mailed for friday delivery
5. Rammunus from mercedesshop wating nonfacelifted 500E euro lights with vacuum adjust kit.


There are some about 3 stragglers that have "mailed checks" but I have not seen them yet. Since we have 5 people here we have nothing to worry about. Please check to make sure everything is correct. I would like to place the order monday, so the cut off on recieving funds to me is Friday, This friday, January 9th, 2004, but the end of business 5pm MST GMT-7.

PUMA has 2 sets of facelifted E500 euro lights and 3 sets of 500E euro lights in stock right now. They are expecting another shipment Jan 20, 2004. So we can probabaly go up to 10 people if need be, but since the euro vs dollar has gone up the price will remain the same.

All of the vacuum adjusts are taken. They came in today with my order from Germany, so if anyone wants that in a future time or you want the lights now, and then the vacuum adjust later thats fine. I will order two spares right away, and then we can go from there.

Keep in mind, This group buy price is a great deal since PUMA will have to raise its rates after the group buy because of the currency exhange, so it is great that you are taking advantage of this deal.

Thanks to those that have participated.

Austin

Glad to see Paul's hooking you guys up - a bunch of us did this a couple of years ago, and I for one am really thrilled with my E-codes (both cars)!

So, just to stir the pot a bit, what kinda bulbs are y'all gonna run? I run PIAA main lights, and Hella H3s in the fogs (300TE) and driving lights (500E). However, I'm inclined to try something different for the H3s-thoughts?

I understand the OE bulb thing, but was wondering: what do you plan to run, just those? I mean, they're fine I'm sure, but in my cases I got PIAAs from Paul - he gave me a credit on the OE bulbs & put it against the cost of the PIAAs.

I dont want to make things more complecated, everyone is already cool with stock light bulbs. Its always good to have spares because police pull you over for that.

I think, Michael, that I will be running European versions of the Silver Star, I have heard good things about these bulbs.

The group buy for the 500E/E500 euro lights has been places with puma. For those of you that wanted the vacuum adjust stuff, I am still waiting on some connectors to hook everything up. Once I get those in, I will ship out the vacuum adjust kits.

Thanks to everyone that participated. I will keep you posted. Let me know when your Lights arrive.
