Hey, I just noticed, that was my "LUCKY" post! 777!!!
C'mon, I feel lucky now!!!!! 

[Charger-Bodie]

these are from the white 68 survivor that belongs to dc.com member "drodg" Thanks again for the pics! 

[bill440rt]

I just got my set in yesterday. Not only does Mike offer a great product, but the box was still smokin' from how fast it got here! Whew!! That's some fast shipping! Thanks, Mike!!!

If I could ask for anything else with these lights, is that is does not appear the clips that hold the wires to the hood underside are included. No biggie, as I'm very pleased with the quality of the assemblies themselves. It would just make the kit that much more complete.

It looks like those boots might be legit after all, we got 2 survivor cars shown here that have them. One a '68, the other a '69.

And one that is not a survivor, just stood the test of time....

got my box from SANTA MIKE a lil while ago!!! 
i'll open it up tomorrow... i gotta get ready for work... sighhhhh
thanks mike!!!

Ahhh, yes. A THIRD!! 

Not that I was doubting these boots, I just never saw them before. They were long gone on my '68.

Not sure if this means back to the drawing board for good 'ole Mike, but I can attest first hand that these assemblies are waaay better than the current ones out there. Especially the lenses!
Excellent job!

Bill,

The pass side boot on my light socket either had torn or the rotting got so bad that it literally fell off.  I found some liquid electrical tape and since it was hidden a littile, I use that to hold the boot together to the socket.  The driver side was in excellent shape comparatively speaking with only a little dry rot around the part where the wire goes.  That one is now off of the car.....

[BMOTOXSTAR]

BE&A are a great people.

[dodgecharger-fan]

My car had the boots on them.

I'd pay the extra for them.

I can't say that I've looked under tha many hoods, but in my mind, those boots are always there....

You posted the group buy on the 13th and sais "this week" is still THAT week? 

[HITMAN 149]

hmmmmm i was sleeping yesterday, when i was awoken (around 7 PMish.. i work midnights) by a phone call saying that my credit card was declined or something of that sort for parts i had ordered from BE&A??? so i got up got my card & gave them the CC# over again.. as i turns out they had last last 2 or 3 digits wrong??? ok no prob....

That boot is on my original hood turn signals on my 68 Charger. To me it looks like some sort of heat shrink tubing rather than a rubber boot. The electrical dept. at the shipyard I work at uses lots of it and it comes in many different sizes. Seems to me that would only add a very miniscule amount to the cost of these lights. So many of Mikes parts are 100% correct, so why not these? If you decide to add the "rubber boots, count me in for a set.

[BEAPARTS]

I don't know what I was thinking, my buddie has a 27k 69 survivor and you'll never guess what I found? You guessed it, rubber boots.  They are definitely injected rubber and not a shrink tubing. The rubber is very thin, what might of happened is the engine heat dried them out and they turned into a rock, cracked and fell off.  One side was on his car, the other was half gone and really hard.  That doesn't mean some cars may not of had them, who knows?

I'M ON IT!!!!!!!!!

We will be offering the rubber boots separately.

How can the boots be installed after the wiring harness is assembled?    KY

I got mine last night. Great quality! I can't wait to get the car back and put these bad boys on. 

[resq302]

Allen,

In order to get my boot off to send it to "Santa", I unsoldered the contact from the wire that goes into the socket and then slide the spring and socket off and then slid the rubber boot off.  Pretty easy or at least it seemed that way.  Hardest part was trying to get the wire up and through the frame work of the hood.  I played it smart though, I tied a piece of string to the wire before I pulled the wire out so all I have to do when I get my new boots is to tie the wire to the string and pull the string back through with the wire.

Thanks Brian, that's what I thought would be the best approach too, but it might be a problem for some folks.  I guess Plan B might be to slice the part of the boot that goes over the wire, then install with heat shrink tubing over that area.  I'll get my soldering iron heated up...   Good idea on the string, but someone previously removed the lights from my hood...

Mine were not in the car when I got it.  Try a straightend coat hanger or a "snake" wire that they use for running wires in walls and such.

I'll be adding those to my wish list then.

I think I could save a lot of time by having my pay redirected straight to BE/A...

Mike as soon as the sets come with the " rubber boot" installed, ship me a set. You already have all of my info. And yes, I`m one of Santa`s little helpers, LOL!

[dodgecharger-fan]

Got my "pre-boot" set this morning along with a few other parts.

They look great! I'm glad I was able to be Santa's Little Helper!

Great service, too!

I have the boots, upper door pads, and probably a lot more on my wish list!

[Charger Steve]

How do I contact B/E & A to order a set of these? Any one out there got thier address?
