If alltogether possible get it elsewhere. Needed numerous emails with them to finally get it shipped. Then it still took over 2 weeks to arrive. Have to say light works and it included thick gasket.
That's a bummer that it took so long but, to my recollection, there was a recall on them or something.... maybe that could've been the ship time issue (certainly not the lack of email response though).

I, too, ordered from proexhaust -- had mine within a week.

The light is a top quality product, in my opinion. Like Yellow mentioned, it really looks like it 'belongs' up there rather than the clear/white one.

Got mine from proexhaust and it didn't have a perfect fit for the light fittings and I ended up breaking it so I bought from revotec and haven't had any problems for over a month.
I love the thing definately adds a nice look and the light is bright as hell.

I purchased the Revotech model also

I had read the other posts and my expeirence was the same as some others. The bed lamp bulbs were very dfficult to engage, but I managed to do so without breaking them. The rather cheesy adapter for the LED's that resemble a christmas tree bulb base that plugs into the old brake light bulb socket did not make contact the first several tries. After bending them outward I managed to get a connection. I was very careful tightening the mounting screws and still managed to hear a cracking noise when I was snugging them up. (At a much lower torques than I removed the old screws) I tried backing off the screw slightly and it cracked even more. I doubt they will return it, I imagine they will say I overtightened it so I am considering just dropping a small amount of clear silicone sealer in the hole. I do like the looks, but the quality is not as good as OEM. Anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it?

A small dab of clear silicone should do the trick for you...

OT -- I see you're in South Bend... I was just talking with a water well drilling company up there today to reinstall a few wells on Orange Street at the corner of Huey. Big client of mine up there in that vicinity.

Politios Pizzeria over in Mishawaka is the best food on Earth! Rigatoni & Vodka Sauce -- HIGHLY recommended!

Actually I already tried Politios on your advice and you hit the nail on the head. I used to post on this forum frequently with my last 01Screw and since I had finished all that I wanted to do with it, kinda got away from this forum. Now that some red light runner totaled my truck a few weeks ago I have a newer Screw and I am back. When I came back I had forgotten my password and ended up with this new ID. I used to post under Indiana Fireman. Thanks for both bits of advice.

I had that problem with the first led light I bought from pro exhaust.

I ended up trashing it and got a new one from revotec and had no problems.
