The only thing I can think of is that they don't have enough in stock yet. Either way, in my opinion the dealers should be notified when a new product is being developed so they can begin to promote the new products and at the very least be somewhat informed.
Between the lack of information on new products, not being told when something is out of stock/has a lead time, etc, I'm beginning to get very aggravated. Communication has to improve.
tom said:Just saw another dealer post a video of the new cobra dash light on YouTube. From a dealer's prospective, it's discouraging to see that some dealers are more well informed than others.

Jman423 said:There was speculation that it was some type of resistor. I initially thought it was a fuse (before I read the referenced post), but it makes no sense that solid colored heads come with it, and split color heads don't.
One way or another, that is going to make installations a bit more tricky. If it was a fuse, I'd just cut it off during installation.
EDIT: Having looked closer at the most recent pics posted in this thread, there is one on the Red/Blue head... so maybe this was an after thought and the comments above were about an earlier production lighthead that didn't have it? Too many questions, not enough answers.
SireLite said:It seems a bit silly to have that there. As we all know the people light to shorten the length of lighthead wires to fit their needs.
Maybe its there to stop interference being caused like on the previous T4 line.

kenton1979 said:...I assure you the red blue I have (x8) all have the resistor...
Jman423 said:OK, these conflicting statements are a bit confusing.
Also, I obviously misread that label when I edited my last post... I thought it said Red/Blue, but I didn't look close enough to see that it said Blue/Blue.
If these things are there for the reasons Feniex stated, then it would only make sense to have them on all variations of the product.

SireLite said:The review is from last year. It's probably from a totally different lighthead.

I can't even describe how bright these lights are. I replaced the cheap heads from Galls with these, and I'll never buy another cheap 1W head again!! My only complaint is now EVERYTHING else on my car looks DIM in comparison!!
fier23 said:Well after waiting over 2 months due to an email stating the T-4's were no longer being made and they were sending me the T-6 modules I just received a pair of T-4's!!!!! I had to buy a customer Whelen Linz6's due to this BS only to get shipped a pair they said was no longer produced! Think I'm going to get with a whelen rep and deal with a company that can meet my needs instead of one that china shipping time can beat by 2 weeks!!
foxtrot5 said:Bright, but I HATE that mounting location as the only means of side warning. Supplemental side warning, sure.
Also, I've never heard it called a smooth top before...
Finally, any installers have hands on experience with these yet? I'm really curious about how that inline resistor affects mounting and wiring.
scruffythewild said:I also noticed "smooth top" to be a little off... Also on the fact of people buying T-4's and getting T-6's especially when you buy T-4 brackets expecting to get the T-4 you bought like the guy a few posts back did is just downright "dumb" for Feniex because it's opening themselves up to all sorts of small claims court cases!
FEVER said:small claim court cases? :hahano:has anyone tried returning the t4 bracket to their feniex distributor and reordering the t6 bracket? The t4 brackets still work on the bars.
I dunno... just me but if I sold a t4 bracket to one of my customers and then sent them a t6. I would be more than willing to make the exchange for that customer.
scruffythewild said:Not just with the bracket's though. But with dealers getting knowledge that some dealers dont have or the countless times people report other dealers to Feniex for price violations and nothing is done. Everything is so poorly managed, its only a matter of time..-Rob
FEVER said:The issues were some dealers actually called Feniex to bug them about information. Those are the dealers that "leaked" information ahead of time. The information was available for most if they called their rep.
The issue at hand was some dealers posting rumors heard from others instead of actual facts or hearing it for themselves. Feniex has been slow in enforcing some MAP issues with some dealers but they have been addressed. If there are dealers out there not happy with Feniex maybe they should drop them? I've had success with their products and quality communication from my representative.
I'm not sure how even that opens them up to small claims. But then again you people tend to have a sue first mentality if this is what popped into your head. That is one many things wrong with this country. I don't want to go on a defense of feniex rant in this thread because I know they are far from perfect but the ludicrous idea of small claimes makes me :duh:
FEVER said:Wait until you all see the Cobra T-6 Dual.... :woot:
strobecrazy said:As in dual color? If so sounds sweet.
EMT-BLS said:Nope, not dual color...I was disappointed as well. This is the ultimate in un-innovation. Taking two lights and gluing them together is not as big enough an accomplishment as Feniex might think.
FEVER said:I would not count them out of the dual color market either, however; the dual t-6 will have a substantial footprint.
EMT-BLS said:Of course it will...If I stack 8 Whelen M9 series, wouldn't it have a bigger footprint? At least make the light one big light, with two layers of LED's. They didn't even bother with that, they just stacked two on top each other and called it a dual.
EMT-BLS said:Nope, not dual color...I was disappointed as well. This is the ultimate in un-innovation. Taking two lights and gluing them together is not as big enough an accomplishment as Feniex might think.
Feniex said:EMT,
You don't really think this was an all out new product do you? It was a quick 30 min design that was need to complete the Cobra line. In fact it should of been completed 2 years ago. A double flange is as "un-innovation" as it gets, but it was needed.
True innovation soon to come!
