Re-badged Costco HID by late November - Now HF HID
I just thought I would let everybody know that a re-badged Costco HID will be avialable by late November. Due to non-disclosure agreements between the manufacturer and the distributor, the manufacturer cannot say who the new distributor will be or the profit margins that distributor will be targeting (i.e. what the target retail price will be.)
I can say that I have been told the hinge has been re-designed.
This is ALL the manufacturer can say until the lights are on the market again.
I got specific permision directly from the manufacturer to make this general announcement.
It should give everybody that wanted a Costco HID and could not get one hope.
Something else I can say, because it is already public record, is that Wendy posted on this forum in the past that Costco sold the lights at their cost. That certainly is not likely to happen again. However, most of the people that I know that have Costco HID's, myself included, would say they are easily worth more then the price Costco sold them for.
I hope this is a bit of good news and the distributor gets these lights out by their target date, just in time for the Christmas excuse for buying new lights season.
Take Care All,
