My order of february 14 for sending to Italy was sent on february 19. Not yet received, but now on custom clearance in Milan, Italy. I hope to receive within the end of week....
It seems that I am importing US nuclear weapons....for Italian Custom.

So let have DiodeDynamics a 4/5 days to manage sending within US.

I think they ship using USPS... so my guess is that after item gets shipped, it would take about 1 week for me to get it.

USPS takes for everrrrrrr

We're shipping as many as we can, as fast as we can. Please keep in mind that we can certainly cancel and refund your order, and you can reorder when they're on the shelf. I know you just want the product though, so I apologize for the frustration.

All shipping was a little slow last week due to weather, for all carriers. We filed quite a few claims for customers who paid for express shipping options.

Shipping USPS is the only way we can afford to offer cheap flat-rate shipping. For international customers, it's the only way we can charge just a couple bucks- any other international service would cost $20-40.

ordered from fteightsix and got it in 3 days. shipping isn't as cheap as Diode Dynamic's $5 but I bought smoked side markers as well.

I was going to install it this weekend but after watching the install video again with intent to install, I just knocked it out in 5 minutes. The one thing that held me up was plugging the module's plug into the back of the headlight, you have to kind of angle down, then push in as if you want to plug the top side first. Think of a digging motion.

Just a little concerned about the thinness of the cable connecting the fuse to the module. Particularly where the fusebox closes down. I inspected the cable and there's a definite crimp in the area. Went ahead and wrapped it in electrical tape to somewhat protect it.

After I fired the lights on, WOW! It just looks perfect, like how the car should've came stock. Overall, good buy!

If you're concerned about the wires coming out of the fuse box, could always file a small divot for them to pass through.

wowowowow!!!!!Nick! fantastic!!! I must come again in US and visit a lot of friends and people and you of course too!! But believe me, your g-grandparents made the right choice: America is the best country in the world where to live, here we see you car customization, your wide kit , stance opt and rear wings and for us is not possible to install and drive without having even cops behinds ready for crazy tickets....you're lucky. I am too old to break this italian "jail"
Sorry for OT guys.

If I use the stalk to switch to parking lights (I think that's what it is called, it's one up just before headlamps) then the regular DRLs come on along with the boomerangs.
@Diode Dynamics

I'm also having this exact same issue. I ordered the module pretty early (2/17), so it might be one of the few defective batches. Of course, the engine was running, parking brake disengaged and installed correctly.
I sent out an email so we can discuss what we can go from here.

Pretty bummed out since I just received it yesterday after waiting half a month.
