SakeBomb Garage is pleased to announce that we can once again take preorders for our PremiereLine HID Projector Headlight kits for the FD3S! This is a limited production run of *12* kits as headlight supplies are VERY limited. If you've been waiting to get a set of our headlights, this is your chance.



We're providing two Payment options: Either you can pay the full (discounted) price on our website. and receive the full $150 discount. Alternatively, you can make a $250 group buy deposit, for a $75 price reduction, with the balance due upon completion of the group buy (February 1st 2016)



Highlights:

  • New headlight housings, with bi-xenon (high/low) projectors
  • Optically clear projector lenses
  • New (OEM) Philips 4300K bulbs (5000k Morimoto with 50w ballast option)
  • High quality 35w weatherproofed ballast (50w ballasts also available)
  • Plug and play wiring harness specifically for the FD
  • OEM appearance
  • The best insurance possible to protect your car - avoid hidden cops, deer, road hazards, etc

We’re confident that this is currently the best performing lighting package available for the FD, from here to Japan… bar none! This setup is the standard against which other lights are currently judged. See our product page for full details.

Not really... it's getting to the point where making this is negatively effective our productivity business wise. I realize the're expensive and if we could do them for cheaper we would, but the components are honestly very pricey and we do not cut any corners. We've got somewhere between 8-9 hours a set (now even longer since Sonar changed the glue to a not heat-based glue and they are virtually impossible to separate now). Basically with the new permanent glue and other projects going on at the same time for new components... it's becoming apparent that we can't continue making these much longer into the future. We also are having a hard time simply sourcing the Sonar housings now, we waited three months and were only able to get 14 sets).

Just so everyone has a heads up, over half of the available kits sold over the weekend

The want was so great, I had to give in. These lights were last on my bucket list as I rarely drive at night. But because these are going to be very limited or no longer available, I had to buy them!

The hype isn't overrated either. These lights are fantastic! 1 of the best mods I managed to do to the FD.

I had no doubt that these would be high quality from all of the reviews I've read. Just was a bad time for the sale for me given the holidays, but whatever. I caved and just paid in full from the website anyway.

Thanks for the orders everyone... we've got the housings en route to us now... we'll start breaking them down and update with progress as we move forward. We're still trying to source more housings but currently the group buy is nearly full. Thanks for everyone's support!

^ if you guys got an order number than yes, I'll comb the website again later for stragglers but we were able to grab a few more headlight housings yesterday so we haven't been as concerned with overfilling the GB. I've got a request in now, trying to source more housings but we typically absorb 100% of the headlights coming into the US, and this is all we've been able to snag.

There's actually now 16 spots available but with you two on we should be up to 12. It's hard to keep this maintained across forums, facebook requests, etc. but the website inventory tracking is our bible, if you can place an order... there's a kit available.

Ordered mine on the 4th (at least that is what my paypal is saying) and I don't see my zip. I also ordered the oil filter plate as well. What is going on?

These are industry standard D2S bulbs used on Mercedes, Audi, etc... they're relatively inexpensive to replace but typically last over 100K Miles so most likely you won't be replacing them any time soon.

Just a heads up to everyone, we are over capacity for the group buy. We are currently trying to source more components and will update as soon as we have news, but everyone that has paid is currently guaranteed a spot (we were able to grab a few extra housings, and are trying to grab more now but are waiting to hear back from the manufacturer, but have absorbed all of the housings in the states currently). The below list has been collated in the order of date/time the order was placed.

01. Web Order - LHD 35w - zip 94019
02. Web Order - LHD 35w - zip 53714

Sorry to keep asking, but I still don't see my zip. I ordered on the website and my card was charged, but I still don't see my zip on there. I just want to make sure.

Order # 1744
5th Jan 2016 @ 7:19 PM
Zip 77095

Order 10 could possibly be mine if the house number was swapped with my zip.

Damnit, I hope you don't stop making these. Just purchased a new home and have bigger priorities at the moment but these were one of the last things I planned on putting on my FD once I'm caught back up financially. Keeping my fingers crossed.
