Thanks

Thanks, will do when I get it. The wait is killing me. Still showing in the Order Scheduling status when I sign in. Can't wait until they at least start making it.

Just a few more weeks to go.

Are these LED's just replacement bulbs for the normal ones or is there a replacement fixture of some kind that is also added? Sorry, not familiar with them.
