It may seem like a lot, but honestly im not making much off of each set. I asked for a set of custom lenses to be made by someone else and their going rate was $80 for each for a very thin acrylic and ONLY if I had a mold for them. If I were to charge what I SHOULD charge with a custom lens and "professional labor" , add 250 to my price or so and that's a good real number. No lie, real talk.My Build Thread -

At that price, that includes the projectors with decorative shrouds, lens, the factory headlight buckets, everything for a plug and play setup minus the HID stuff. Price is not set in stone, price may vary.

Most likely not unless it's hardware. I don't want to speak for him but considering how much work it is to make each unit I can't see him really wanting to warranty the items with a replacement if they fail. Of course all things considered the only probably failure is the lights themselves which may have their own warranty from the manufacturer. -

Anyone is crazy if they don't think what 862sik offering is a killer deal. Go out on the interweb to websites like Clearcorners.com etc and see what they're charging for projector kits. Not to mention we've seen examples installed on cars and it looks GREAT.
Again
Look at that cutoff!!! And those are lights without any extra fancy housings, leds rings etc installed. -

The lenses themselves that are made by me should not leak. I always soak them in water to see if water gets through. Fogging though will happen, and I have done a shit load of testing to eliminate that issue, but it will still happen. The alignment wont be spot on, but all you have to do is rotate the projector a millimeter or so. I try my best to align them to eachother on a bench.
IF the unit comes broken, I would want complete honesty and need pics. I try and package them very good. This is what insurance is for from UPS.My Build Thread -
