So I know that the guy who used to make them hasn't been around recently... at least to my knowledge.

But does anyone know where I can get a install kit for an 8 that doesn't have them factory? Or maybe the username of the guy who used to make them?


Thanks for any info you can give.

 

funny you should mention that!
I talked to Shazbot28 a few days ago and he's in the process of making another master mold to begin production once again.

try sending him a PM and see if you can figure out when they will be available.

 

Well thanks! I'll shoot him a message

 

and i might have a set of derwankels lights around.

maybe.

beers

 

swoope always has spare parts lying around.
Some day I'm going to fly out to FL and build another car out of the stuff that's swoope has stored in his garage

 

Swoope, if you could find some I'd be interested in buying.

and I sent derwankel an email too. Hopefully he's got some laying around.

 

Yes I would be very interested in buying also.

 

Me Too!!

 

I bet the puddle lights with some white leds look siiiiick on the 8! They sure do on my moms bimmer

 

^^^ yup, they look sexy as hell on my car.

 

Just an update for all interested: none of them have responded yet to my PMs.

 

I really want these.

 

hang tight guys, this will get done soon.
I've known Shazbot for a long time and he genuinely wants to get this started up again but he's finalizing a new mold and then needs to make a few puddle lights to ensure proper fitment.

I'm sure he'll pop in here soon with an update but he's probably busy with work, car stuff, and enjoying the Holidays.

 

Awesome! I don't mind waiting a little for this awesome apperance upgrade!

I'm guessing these will illuminate when you unlock the car? I hope so

 

If he needs to, you know, like, test them on different cars mine is available

 

I def want some. So I'm suscribing to this for updates

 

yup, that's exactly how they work.
Here's a link to Shazbot's original Group Buy thread (now closed) that has some good pictures

get in line, buddy.

 

Subscribed! can't wait.

 

Since Jorge gave up the link to the old thread, here's the one he started this June and scroll down for the latest update. Seems as if he's just about ready to go once again and updated this yesterday.

I'm waiting for this as well... for several months now.

 

For all of you guys who want these lights, here is Shazbot's new group buy.
