As did I, you, and others. It could be a simple case of supply and demand with the new lights selling better than anticipated outpacing the scheduled production.
Yes, I've retained communications. No, I'm not at the point of reporting it stolen, since I haven't simply asked for it to be returned, as is, and such a claim would be devastating to a person's life if they were convicted of gun theft. I'm just not at that point.
Are these XB LowPro tail lights the same as their XB LED Tail Lights? I don't see a product named "Low Pro" on their site. Perhaps it's a different light?
I ordered the XB tail lights from Morimoto on Friday , they shipped Monday, and will arrive tomorrow. Shipped with FedEx, so I can track the progress easily. I assume the issue with your shipment occurred because they closed for a few days due to weather and had some hiccups when they came back to the office.
Thanks Dustin. This is super helpful. Would you be willing to DM me your order number? I'm on the phone with them again now and he's looking into it. Thanks again.
For whatever reason mine are shipping from their Buford, GA warehouse and it seems there's some sort of hiccup. They show stock, but for some unknown reason there's a delay. You're fortunate to have had such a seamless process. Thanks again.
So you called them again , and found out nothing new from the customer rep. , did he attempt to identify the hiccup , or say he would and get back ? Since others like me got them in a timely basis perhaps cancel the order with the hiccup , and reorder.
Each call ends with, "...I've reached out to the shipping manager at the warehouse and he said he'd get back to me by the end of the day. I'll update you then."So you called them again , and found out nothing new from the customer rep. , did he attempt to identify the hiccup , or say he would and get back ?

Mine also shipped from Buford. My guess is that yours were/are possibly delayed by weather. Being in California, my shipment routed through the South and Southwest. I'm sure that has helped avoid any weather issues.
I would cancel and re order, others were typically shipped within a couple days. If not, Fāem.
You're a much more patient man than I, it seems. Those must be pretty special wheels. I hope they arrive and it was worth the wait. If I cancel and re-order I lose my favorable pricing. So I will if necessary, but am hoping this resolves before doing so. I'm typically not one to make a lot of noise about such things... first world problems and all, but if I feel like I'm being jerked around... well, that changes things ;-)...
Yes, Smaller company with mostly direct purchase. True Forged wheels mostly for sports/performance cars. They only offer 2 off road wheels with bead grip not sold through QT, 4WP, etc. My 8.5ā wheel, 35/12.50 combo is two pounds lighter than the stock 7.5ā wheel, 285/70 KO2 combo. 40 lbs less rotational mass and unsprung weight than the 35/12.50ās on the stock wheels.
Wow... I'd say that's worth waiting for!
I heard back from them today - a first time when they said they'd reply. Here was their reply:
But it isnāt cheap being a weight weenie, $500 wheels, with the center caps and lugs free
