Default 3 more weeks

Well 2 1/2 weeks ago I decided to buy a HCH 2 with Navi and was told it may take between 1 week and 1 month to come in. Now today I was informed it will be atleast another 3 weeks . But the good news, they finally put me into a '03 Accord EX coup in the mean time (for the last 2 weeks they had me in a '05 taurus). This Accord has the best headlights I've ever driven. Driving at night is incredible. I remember reading the Headlight thread here saying the HCH lights aren't the best. I have a feeling I'm going to be very disappointed with them now due to my driving the accord...

They sell retrofit xenon kits....I'm not even sure they're street legal. They're mostly for show as when the bulb and ballast are installed it uses the same headlight housing which actually is not an efficient combination and actually produces worse light output than factory halogen

Congrats Utah! Hang in there....my Dad is in the same boat, we ordered our HCH IIs at the same time and I got mine in a week (dealer swap), he opted for Magnetic Pearl w/ Navi which they were unable to locate, so he has to wait up to 5 more weeks.

It'll be worth the wait.

I'm waiting, as well, on a Magnetic Pearl, w/NAVI.
Have been since mid-January.

It will probably be around early April for me.
