Realizing that not everyone here reads the dmchelp.com forums, I wanted to re-post here the recent update on the headlight switch reproduction program. ------------ After reviewing samples from the supplier, and being unhappy with the switch and the design, we have pulled the project from the supplier and decided to modify the existing design to improve the functionality and performance of the switch. A minimal amount of current will run through the switch (enough to light the internal indicator bulb), and it will feature an "auto-off" upgrade, currently set for a 30-second delay after the ignition is turned off that it will shut off the headlights. It will still be a "plug and play" switch and be identical in appearance to the original. Retail price is still expected to be $50, and those who placed pre-orders will be the first to receive the switches, as outlined previously. We've had the first "proof of concept" samples here in a company car for the last week or so and so far it's working great. We're moving towards getting this design finalized and into production. I think everyone will be happy with this new development, and a much improved product. After the last experience with talking about dates, I'm hesitant to do so again. I would hope that within the next week or two, however, I will feel confident enough to set a date. It is entirely possible that the pre-orders will be filled prior to DCS. ------------ Please feel free to direct questions/comments to me at: james(at)delorean.com Regards, James Espey ------------------------------------ DeLorean Motor Company Vice President 15023 Eddie Drive Humble, Texas 77396 USA tel: 800/872-3621 tel2:281/441-2537 fax: 281/441-2813 http://www.delorean.com ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
