I ordered mine just a few days ago. I've emailed with him a couple times. He didnt act like it would take a couple months for me to get the harness. Geez, I hope it's sooner than some of you. I'd like to get those bad boys installed ASAP.
But like others have said, seemed like he provides a good product. So fingers crossed!

After checking another thread and seeing some customers from January and April havent received their orders, I've requested a refund. I dont like waiting months for a product i paid for upfront. Tux also said he has 50,000 orders to fill and his shipments were only getting parts for 70 harnesses.

If he has that many orders I may have to reconsider... Hope not

Yep! The instructions were easy too. I wish a moderator would make it a sticky.

I too waited 70+ days for my harness only for it not to work when I got it. Further examination revealed a butt splice had come apart. Half of the harness was butt spliced together with electrical tape covering it (no heat shrink). I fixed it and it worked but it crapped out after two weeks of use. I was very disappointed in the half-*** quality.

I had zero experience with a solder gun, but looked online for videos (YouTube) and then proceeded to make my harness the right way with solder and heat shrink tubing. Needless to say my lights are still working to this day a month later. It took me a couple hours with no experience to do it...better than waiting over 2.5 months.

I finally got my harness four months after the order. I watched the videos recommended by projectoretrofits and found the grounding wires were too short. I had to make my own extension for each ground. They work now but not the type of service or product you expect from a supplier recommended here. I for one will never recommend projectoretrofits (tuxedoblack) products to anyone based on my experience.

I waited awhile for Tux - but after 2-3 weeks had passed I started looking around since I already had the headlights in hand.

Found Dawson @ Raptor Retrofit and had a harness a couple days later. The price was higher, but it's well worth it considering the fast delivery.
