I have used PayPal for my LED's with Cindy......12 days later they have arrived in Bremen - Germany.
No problem at all !! Great light on my ST1300

Looks like it to me.
Here's spidey's link but Amazon is not cooperating with me. Cindy is associated with allibaba and spidey said the bulb would be sold under different brands.

The AMAZONE F2 looks exactly like my one from Cindy.
Ordered 2 H4's from Ali Express. I will returen the one I bought from ebay. One set for my motorhome Hella ecode conversion and 1 for the ST1100.
Ok sent Cindy an email with the above info and she replied requesting my 'tracking number' so she can send an invoice.
I checked the email I sent for the G6s way back when and the only info I sent was the above. No tracking number or account info sent.
I have no clue.

- Which one today...?
I got my invoice from Cindy last night and was about to order.
$58 2 sets
$23 shipping
$3.24 PayPal fee
Looks like I'd save $4.24
Cindy needs a new pair of Jimmy Choos.
And it looks like somebody already scored a pair of jimichu's.

Still awaiting mine. She told me they'd been shipped already (I'd inquired about shipping status on the 16th of March; quoted $29 USD product, $9 shipping, $1.52 Paypal on 6th Mar, ordered 7th.). She further stated she didn't send the "colorful" box due to cost of shipping being exceeded

LOL I wonder if there's some dice involved in determining shipping.
Though I imagine the lack of the retail box could get you just under the mark to save you $3.
I hope Cindy sends me a pic of her new Jimmy Cs!

Same with me.....as I said, 12 days later..... I'm happy
FWIW, I started my order process on Feb 28, and finally received mine on March 22.
STumped
Because I usually am . . . .
You fared better than me. I payed via paypal on Feb 27th and heard nothing back. I inquired on March 8th asking for tracking information and Cindy replied that she had shipped my order on March 6th and provided a tracking number. However, the tracking number actually showed that the shipping order was created on March 8th (she lied). The tracking information now shows that my order is in Houston so, hopefully, I will get it soon.

Similar to me.....look at my previous post.
I recieved mine today.
Ordered / paid Feb 2 via paypal.
Emailed Cindy again on Feb 28 ish, packaged shipped and was returned (yes all the way back to China), they addressed it to only my city and state.
Item was reshipped on March 3rd and landed in Chicago on the 21st.
Hit my door step today.
Can't wait to fit them, but I would probably pay $20 more to get them from amazon in 2 days.

Spent some time on electrics today. Blue Star got a new headlight adjusting motor. And, I installed the F2s,,, and some SuperBrite led position bulbs as well. My forks are removed for rebuild, and I pulled the side fairings off for easier access. Each step offered some unexpected challenges.
In removing the old position bulbs,, the right one popped out and dropped down into the main beams reflector. I read somewhere that this can happen,,, but there was really no way to prevent it. An hours work with a pipecleaner and some doublesided tape was needed to fish the bulb back out. The new SuperBrite's did not work at first,, until I discovered that if you fully seat them in their sockets,,, contact is not made. Pull them out a bit,,, and away they go. But I am wary to push the bulbs back into the main housing in that state,,, given what happened to the original bulb dropping out. Will have to think about this for a bit. The way the socket is designed,,, pushing the bulb/socket in, or pulling it out, causes the bulb to want to squirt free.
Getting the new headlight motor installed was harder than expected. I eventually pulled the dash out, and got everything lined up. It seems to function properly,, but I won't be able to check the aim till my forks are re-installed.
Now we get to the F2s. Installing was pretty straight forward,, much as discussed here. But the rubber boots are pretty snug,,, and may be somewhat restrictive of the airflow through the heat sink. It also took a firm push to get the body pushed into place, and locked by the ball detent. I hope that heat and vibration does not cause the body to slide back out should the detent be overcome. I did not have to modify the bail or the boot. Only trim the 2 lower tabs with a pair of side cutters. Well,,, they are bright,, to say the least. And my SDC modulator has them flashing,,, rather than pulsing. I ran an F2 on one side,,, against the 60/100 H4 on the other,,, and the difference between flashing and pulsing was quite evident. But so far, so good. Here is a photo from the back side. Cat'

I had considered doing that but by the time I got round to it Amazon was OOS. My G6s took about two weeks and arrived without incident.

Exact same thing happened to me. Took a lot less (?) time to get sorted though.
Ditto.
I feel your pain. I was able to put the bulbs and sockets back it successfully the first time by trying to push on the edges of the sockets and not the middle. That's what squirts the bulb out. One thing I wish I'd done is use a bit of silicone grease (carefully applied) around the sockets so they slip in and possibly are removed more easily down the road.
Removing the second position light went slower as I rocked the socket slowly out of the shell not wanting a repeat of Go Fish.
That would/will be fine by me. :grin: I much prefer that over the legal modulation of the beams.
My G6s will probably end up in my ST buddy's bike as did my 55/60W H4s. He rides at night every day of PST and appreciated the bump in lumens. Wait'll he gets a load of the Eviteks. To the point— I'll install one and then take a pic of LED vs Halogen. The difference in color temp is astounding.
The G6s are 6500ºK while the F2s are supposed to be 6000ºK and I hope they'll look a little less blue (not that the G6s are all that blue).
Had to drive out too buy pipe cleaners and sticky tape.
Yes,,, same thought occurred to me. I have some electrolitic grease to apply to the taper section of the socket.
I am going to start out using my SDC. One thing I have always prefered about it, over other brands, is that it was effective on both high and low beams. Kisans unit looks good,, and only operates on high beam. It is pricey too, but effectiveness is the over riding concern. At some future point,,, I can always return the SDC to my CB1000c (which I stole it from),,, and test out the Kisan. It may prove adequate in operation when now paired with the F2's. Cat'

Since the F2's were out of stock at the time I wanted to order, I picked up a set of these. Looked like some that another member picked up. I'll let ya know how they work. If anyone has any info good or bad about these, let me know. No great loss if I messed up getting these.

These look good, but no reviews yet. It appears that they plug in with a cord instead of directly. I assume this makes it easier, but I'd love to get some feedback after you install them.
