I ordered a bit before you as I recall, I have not seen mine yet, but then they were back ordered so I lost track of time with them. Usually when they are in stock and I order (last 3 times as a reference) they average 5 days from HK to So Cal.

One of my order was shipped out but without tracking..still waiting for that.
The newer one I have a tracking..but it just said something generic like "United States..." with no further updates...so basically useless tracking anyways.. Anyhow, still waiting. Doesn't take 5 days or whatever for sure.

So are any of you having problems with the color changing? I got a set on eBay and when they fire up they look great, bright white, but within 10 minutes they start to look blue... I HATE! it. Now this morning the passenger side bulb is dark... I hope it just fell out and didn't burn out... of course if I can I will replace with good bulbs that stay white.

Anyone else having this problem?

Been a lurker for a while. Members here at CL have been very helpful in the past so I figure I'd chime in.

I bought 2 pairs of white 13-SMD bulbs from the "bay". Ordered them last week and they came in today. I wanted to installed them as parking and reverse lights. One bulb was DOA so I'm awaiting word from the seller. I was able to install a pair as reverse lights so I thought I'd share a pic. I apologize for the poor quality. Pic was taken in low light and very tight quarters. Output is more white than blue. I'll post a pic of the corners once I get the replacement.

Looking back, it appears that yours were shipped out 3/5. Today is 3/15. That's 10 days. Should have gotten them by now? I thought it takes 5 days to soCal?

not sure what the hang up is, as I mentioned the last 3 orders I have placed were avg 5 days. It could be the high demand for these is driving the delivery times way up. USPS just took 5 days to get my taxes to a town here in So Cal just 30 miles away, that should have taken 1 day. I could have driven them there in 30 min had I known. It could be USPS is having issues with weather etc. Fed Ex just delayed a package i bought from the east coast, it was supposed to be 2nd day air and took almost Nine...

They are worth waiting for, high quality and very low price.

The tracking they provided is next to useless...all it said is "outbound toward office of exchange" ..."destination country USA"....or something to that extended. The status is just that forever. Might as well not having a tracking at all. Umm..well my first order they didn't give me one...eitherway, still waiting.

btw, demand isn't an issue here. It's delivery time. We count from when it said "shipped". The "backorder - waiting for supplier" and the "packaging" time (days) weren't counted.

these are some of the T10s I got, the yellow is in the middle, not very flattering, the DE site shows them very well, not sure what you would see here that you wont see there. I want to try these in the nike sockets this weekend to see how that yellow looks
