Ok just 3 people left to pay (well done everyone... that was quick!). One person has contacted me and should have things arranged within the next day or two, I'm yet to hear back from the other two for a while.....
I'll keep chasing people but there's only so much harassment I can do!
More info soon.

Update:
We have another addition! 12 in total now which gives us some breathing room in case someone doesn't make the deadline.
So far I have three promises for payment, but I haven't heard from Dux in a while! Will continue to chase but if I don't get a reply, Mark (WPLamps) may end up starting a run without them...
For the other three, if you could send through and let me know asap that would be great.

Thanks mate I'll pop you on the list. I dont need your PayPal account though, you need to pay to the email listed in the original post yourself. Can you please confirm when you do and I'll mark it as noted?

I've spoken to mark who has started production of the units (7 x V2 and 5 x GTI) and they should he ready to ship by this Fri/Sat or Mon (probably Monday because of the weekend).

So far with the payments:
All of the GTIs have paid, and 5 of the 7 V2s have paid. One person made an error in their PayPal request and should have it corrected in the next day or two after the refund has been put through. The other person I haven't heard from for days.... Time to name and shame!

Dux, we need to hear back from you ASAP. I've spoken to Mark and it seems he won't send ANY of the units until we've ALL paid.

There is one other person who was keen and has missed the deadline. I have all their details and they know how to pay. Given the looming deadline, Dux has until tomorrow night midnight (Thurs 24/7/14), otherwise this new person gets the spot (if they're happy to accept it).

I'm sure that there will be plenty of further group buys for these units once we get them in our hands and can comment on the quality and
how-to tutorials.

Basically we're darn close and I hope we can fix it all up for delivery by early next week!

Hi all. I am keen to see how this all turns out, likely in on the next round. I'm intererested in participating in an install to see how difficult it it and the tools required. I'm in Sydney and have a VCDS cable if anyone needs help reprogramming and wants to let me watch the install?

Cheers,
David

If only you in Brisbane QLD David......

I'm not sure what to make of these two statements. They seem to be contradictory

"HID headlight conversions are not permitted under Qld legislation. However, it is not clear if other Australian states view the issue in the same way. If you operate in another state you should check requirements in your area.

Note also that Queensland's Dept. Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) advises that there is currently no legislation concerning HID conversion of driving lights."

Not permitted in first para but no legislation concerning conversions.

Ps wasn't there a workaround involving lower power bulbs that don't exceed a particular threshold?

Headlights are headlights and DRIVING lights are different as in What you stick on the front of a 4wd and can be HID FOR OFF ROAD USE.

The last person hasn’t gotten back to me so, as promised, I’ve messaged our late addition who is happy to go ahead with the order.
That means that by the end of today (25/7) or Monday (28/7) we should have confirmation that all the payments have been received and delivery will hopefully kick off not long afterwards!

I’ve contacted Mark who will confirm all the payments and delivery dates ASAP. After that we should all be sent tracking numbers, but I will ask to have a collated version on the order form in case people are having trouble.

Almost there people!
