I think you're missing my point. I'm not sure how long the creator has had this product out, or if he's allowing a trade-in for early adopters, but why release a product that needs to constantly updated? Shouldn't it be good to go from the beginning? We're talking about light bulbs, not an ipod or a car where the product needs a life cycle refresh.
I know I'd be just a little upset if I had bought the ver.2's at almost $300 and then there are ver.3's coming out for less. Either way, I'll still be picking up a pair for its positive reviews.

From comments in the thread, it appeared that some people got conversion kits. Don't quote me tho. Just because they're lights doesn't mean they can't be updated..new/brighter LED option out perhaps..? Cheaper more cost effective options as well. That in turn makes it cheaper for u and I. Marc has dropped the price, it could be any reason..since he has never answered why they've raised and lowered prices on the unit.

HIDS will look ridiculous. Wait till you put them on at night. You won't even see your Halos. LUX is the best and closest to the LED Corona rings. I will be jumping on the pre order !

It's been out for awhile. v1 was 6000k, v2 needed PS updated because of some competitor issue and went to 6500k. v3 is the revised PS. v2s were $229, same as v1.
