That's correct- we actually purposefully have not announced this product on any other channels (facebook, newsletter, etc) because we wanted to ensure that everyone in this thread could get one right away. Unfortunately it seems word has spread much faster than we anticipated. Based on our analytics, we have a lot of sales coming in from a Reddit post, for example, and the video has been shared quite a bit.
I know it's disappointing, and I'm sorry for the frustration. We expected to sell a couple hundred, based on the list in the first post- but we blew threw those right away. Demand was much higher than we anticipated.

Just want to know if you guys have encountered anything that may result in premature failure or suspect anything in the long run.
Oh, and I can't wait until I get mine! Thanks!!  |
No issues at all yet. There is absolutely no risk of any LEDs burning out prematurely. Everything's working just like it did from the factory. They're not going to generate any more heat than usual.
Everything from Subaru should be designed to run fine for years, whether or not it's constantly in use. Products are designed for a "worst case" scenario. Like someone using a BRZ as a 24-hour taxi, with a company policy to always have the lights on for safety. When it comes to lights, you have to plan for everything to be on constantly if it can be on at all.
The only thing that we were really testing is our module, however, it's pretty simple, so we expect everything to work perfectly and reliably for years. It's just always best to verify that, by actually getting things installed. Also allows us to get the wire lengths just right, etc.
