I still don't have mine.

That is just unreal. When are you expecting to get them back?

Man dude that bites!

plcman is shipping back my halo rings I sent him a few months ago, as the guinea pig rings to figure out what was going on with the Flashtech rings. (Mine was the first set of FT rings he had on hand, to diagnose the issue). I'm going to get one of his new dual regulators with the cooling fan, when it's finished. It's not finished yet. He's telling me he's going to try and finish it in time to get one to me, to install the whole thing in time for WoW. We'll see.

July would be a year since I ordered the AAC rings.

BTW, if anyone wants to buy a set of AAC amber halos, I'll be selling them.

Wow that really sucks. So sorry you've gone through so much trouble.

since you are having probs with the FT rings, I have to ask why you just didn't stick with the AAC rings the whole time? There are many members here including me that have the AAC rings with no problems and without having to run a voltage regulator or any of that bs.... *knocks on wood*.....

2 reasons.

1) I had some significant customer service issues with them post purchase that made me not want to rely on them in the future.

2) you'll have issues eventually. The issues you do see, with 3 leds out (like Brian's) are because the rings are overheating and popping the resistors off the back. 12 v rings getting +14 v unregulated through them will do that. Plcman taught me...he knows his stuff. 30 years in electronics.

I'm waiting for my overengineered super regulator.

gotcha...well i guess you can say I told you so later when mine finally break, but until then i'll enjoy my halos...

sucks to hear about the customer service....I hung out with Andy in Hot springs and enjoyed talkin with him & I can only speak for myself but he's worked with me and i've had nothing but good experiences with him....

Yeah, Andy wasn't the issue.

Won't be saying I told you so.

The reason they go in banks of three, btw, is that's how the resistors are set up: 3 leds to 1 resistor.

Ok ....Thanks for the heads up...I'd be pissed but i know andy will return them when/if they break...

Damn this issue isn't cleared up yet... Dave come on man...

im sorry bro... i know this has been a fucking nightmare for you...

Ay caramba!!!Come on Dave you're almost there!!!

These had better end up being the most beautiful, bullet-proof halos since God created, well...halos.

well now i wouldnt go that damn far... there still leds...lol

^^^yea Dave,there still led's.Just like ours....Now hurry so we can all take a group picture of all of them lit up

Where was I going with that? Kind of like this dialogue from a movie I rewatched last night:

Jules Winnfield: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent Vega: Yeah but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good.
Jules Winnfield: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother-fu**ers. Pigs sleep and root in sh**. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eating nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard his own feces.
Vincent Vega: How 'bout a dog? Dog eats his own feces.
Jules Winnfield: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent Vega: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules Winnfield: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they definitely dirty. But, dog's got personality; personality goes a long way.
Vincent Vega: Ahh, so by that rational, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules Winnfield: Well, we'd have to be talking one charming mother-fu**ing pig. He'd better be ten times more charming than that pig Arnold on Green Acres.

Wow man.. 8 months later and nothing.. Sorry to hear it's still not resolved..

Wish me a nine month anniversary since I ordered my first set of halos...

That's just crazy. You are a very patient man.

Uuhhhh....no.

I think they pretty much forgot you man

Razor's Edge would have delivered them at least a week ago.

so have they given you any answers on when you might see them again
