What's this I'm hearing about there being changes to the production schedule for the H3's that are to be equipped with the Roof Marker Lamps or Roof Off-Road Lamps?

I thought they were dealer add-ons and so would never impact production of the vehicle.

They are dealer add-ons, but from what I understand, the initial shipments of the H3's will have the sticker prices reflecting these items included and the vehicle will either come stock with the particular add-ons already installed or will come with the vehicle for the dealer to then add-on.

I want the roof marker lights but will wait and see if there are leaking problems.

You think there could be leaking problems, even with the design appearing to be the 5 lights on a molding strip as opposed to being directly mounted on the roof?

How is the electric going to get to it? Somewhere there is going to be a hole. Unless you know of another way?

They leak on the H2 and if your truck soen't have them don't worry. You can get much better ones from a good accessory dealer. You can get all of this s**** is just a few month aftermarket and make you H3 look very unique.

The sticker prices I've seen don't have any of the dealer options added on.

Leaking? From what, rain? I heard about rain once. I think I saw it on a documentary on the discovery channel. It's wet and falls from the sky, right?

We don't see much rain in Phoenix.

Yes, Phoenix is often nice and dry! Nice.

But, over the last year, Phoenix has had
quite a bit of rain, right killian?

I see that it rained 12 days in February 2005 --
The 5th wettest February on record!

Too funny!

Yeah, it rained, 12 days. People here were freakin' out. They didn't know what to do, my next door neighbor was building an ark.

But come on, just gimmie my H3 with marker lights!

Has anyone heard about a delay in the dealers receiving the marker lamps? I heard that they were "backordered" and would not be available immediately for dealer installation.
