Here is my experience with the above group buy - take it as you will :

Shipping:
- I submitted my order 5/7 for one headlight and one fog light conversion kit.
- Charge was posted to my paypal account 5/8.
- 5/12 I received an email saying quote: "Just to let you know that your shipment is out yesterdays, we will send you the tracking number later."
- 5/13 Asked for a tracking number - no reply.
- 5/17 Asked for tracking number - no reply.
- 5/19 FedEx sends me notice of package pickup 5/18 - gives me 5/25 delivery date.
- 5/27 package arrives.

Packages:
Beautiful black with hologram insignia, very well cased with fake silk liner.

Instillation:
The first headlight took me forever, but I was making sure I was doing it right. One plug was poorly marked but instructions made note of possible problem. Timed myself on second headlight - 26 minutes complete. Surprisingly easy.

The fogs lights were a different issue. The kit they sent did not match the OEM plugs. I contacted HIDynamics and their response was simple = your harness is "atypical." I asked for the correct part they said they did not have it and that the harness would need to be spliced. I said I paid for a "plug&play" device to avoid cutting wires and that if they could not provide me with the proper kit I wanted a refund. They said no. So now I am waiting to hear back from a CSR about the next step.

All in all I was very impressed with the product and ease of instillation of the headlights, but cannot recommend the fog light kit and my dealings with the company direct have left me a bit sour.

Bonkers - were your fogs H3's? Also, does HID work well with the fog light lens in the Viper. They are not clear and wasn't sure if is compatible with HID light. Any one with picts of fog hids? Thanks

I was told my lights were "9005" Lows and "H3" Fogs - there is a link to help you on the sales page. The 9005 kit fit perfectly and, so far, I have had no problems with my limited use of them.

The kits themselves are bulb specific - not car specific. If your Gen3 is running H3's then the kit should work fine (send me a pic of the plug where the harness is and I'll tell you if its the same one that came in the kit.)

- [snip] - Headlights blew during a night drive, but I discovered it was a fuse problem. Disregard this post.... but carry spare fuses....

Today's email to HIDynamic -

Dear Sir or Madam,

This is the 5th email to your company regarding this issue.

I purchased your H3 HID kit for my 1999 dodge viper.

Your kit did not fit the harness on my car as promised. I complained.

You said splice the harness and I said no, the point of buying this kit was to avoid splicing the harness.

You said you'd send a proper harness which you did not.

I complained again.

Not only did you then send me the wrong adapter, you sent me an adapter which requires me to splice my harness.

I complained again - you apparently ignored my complaint.

Now I want a legitimate solution to this problem, either a bolt on adapter for your kit, a kit that works, or a complete refund.

Regards,
BjB

Bonkers I don't understand exactly what you need a picture of? I want something that will match the power "blueness" of my factory headlamps in the fog lights. If it will be a big hassle ot install them then I don't really want them.
