I can sympathize, Bruce.
I've now had all 3 iterations. The good news is that if you get brave enough to open your headlights someday, 95% of the work is done.
You could just swap in the new units and sell the old ones as they are still in high demand. The sale of the old units can darn near pay for the new ones.

I realize that most people don't want to risk damaging their headlights (which is why I'm so busy ), but at least it's an option.

Oh, I'm good with what I have. They all look great. I'm glad the choices weren't there when I ordered. It was tough enough picking the right bezel color, LED's yes or no and the LED color and then of course the Light color temp. I got my beams raised to a perfect height. It took several turns but I still have plenty of clearance. Thanks for the detailed instructions

Another email update from the gasket manufacturer, in about 10 days they start cutting the tooling and 1st articles will be aprox. 10 days after that. He believes he will have prototype parts in hand by the end of July. He also stated he is still considering three material compounds for the final product. All three compounds can be run through the same tooling dies. Yesterday I sent him my personal set of gaskets so he would have a left/right just to be safe. We are getting closer to this being reallity !
