Did you try him on Facebook? I had to talk to him multiple times but got everything I ordered finally and it all works great.

The DRL's are nice. Anyone have a pic of the ambers? The pic on his site isn't that great. Would consider ordering a set if the delivery times get more reliable. Its understandable though that he's swamped. Better that than not having these available at all. Thanks Scott for making these available to us as well.

No, I do not use FB...just emailed his website.
After waiting so long I actually ordered several different lights to try and make my own. I am down to two finalists with one set in the lead...took the front end off the 4R last night to mount them...just tracing wires now. They are also switchback but the white will brighten during the day and dim when the headlights come on (If you want them that way)...looking for headlight trigger for the LED DRL. I also ordered a set of the covers to mount the other design I considered and I can decide if I want to switch them.
Also installing light bar behind the grill, LED blinkers and resistance boxes to avoid quick flashing...should have all working and back together this weekend.

Do you mind me asking what LED strip you used? I too am looking to do this mod myself.
Found a few switchback options, but love the idea of the brighter during the day and then dimming when lights are on.
Thanks in advance for any links

I Really, really like Scott and understand his predicament about doing this part time as Aiden James. I have been a long time promoter of his work. This said, I have not heard anything about my order placed to replace the 2nd replaced set of older LEDs well over 2 months ago, maybe 3 I think, now that I look deeper. He told me over email that he is currently at the 60 day mark for build out.
I dont mind as one side of my LEDs is working about 80%, and the other only has 3 LEDs working. It is a bad representation of his product, which bothered me, but now, when people ask about them, I am honest that this is my second set of burnt out LEDs and product. I love the new style, but really bummed they are not on the vehicle.
It has given me grief that I will not photograph the new mods until the front end is complete, but maybe I will do so, as every time I post new pics it creates an influx of "where did you get this..." questions, which is sure to prompt conversation about my defunct lights.

I tried several off of Amazon and Ebay (9 different brands (although many are the same repackaged junk)...I was not satisfied with any of them. Then I found Diode Dynamics and ordered a 6" and 3" strip and WOW they are insanely bright. This is the set you can wire to dim with headlights on...like OEM style.

I also ordered some of the Oznium switchback bullet lights and they are very bright as well.

I have not installed / ran either light above therefore enter at your own risk. I plan to try the Diode Dynamics strips first...on the plus side if there is an issue down the road I will be able to repair myself, potentially, avoiding a long delay.

I am usually pretty patient about this sorta stuff as well, but i have emailed him twice just to get verification that he received my address change, as I don't want my order to go to the wrong address. Nothing back but robo mail.
Taking a persons $200-ish and not giving back any indication for months that you are even alive anymore is frustrating.
I understand being swamped, and that's cool I can wait. But send up a flare every once in a while

This is awesome, thank you for the information and the help. I am going to look further at doing this as well, and if successful do a post about the process. I consider myself a little handy, which means, I will probably wire them to the horn by accident and make the back window go down when I turn on the lights. HA!

You stated you waited 116 days- did you have any indication of completion or shipping before? I am well over 90 days myself, and no reply to emails or on the threads from Scott ....

he posted on IG yesterday saying he was staying home from work to work on shipping out orders. Good luck! I've dealt with people similar, its frustrating because they're nice guys who are too busy.

Yes, Scott is amazing at what he makes, and he is a really good and honest family man. I understand he is overwhelmed. This is my 3rd set of his lights, and he has never let me down in quality and backing his product. Just hate the wait with no updates.

I placed an order on 10/27/17 and haven't received a response to an email request asking for an update to let me know my order is still being processed. As others have mentioned, I don't mind the waiting as long as there is some communication from the seller letting me know he hasn't ghosted.
I'm going to go against my instinct and hold off on cancelling my order which included interior lights & the DRL's. Hopefully I get a response soon or he can at least ship my interior LED's.
