Top Down Solutions

Hey Anyone know what happened to Top-down solutions.. I went to order a kit for my lights tonight, but it says that the account was suspended. Does anyone know where else I could get a kit?

Thanks

I found this over on TGO. Top Down solution site is down for awhile, but Lon provided a number to phone in orders.

I did it a few weeks ago. Not tough but takes an hour or two total. Toughest part is putting the rotor back together with the brushes pulled back. I used the paper clip method. That's the only part that helps to have another set of hands.

You may also want to get a headlight controller module while you are at it since its so easy to replace.

Lon's documentation is flawless BTW.

Careful with the little screws when opening the cover for the motor. Believe the instructions give you a warning that the screws can break. Mine did. Did not make for a fun job.

Yes its best to soak the little screws for a few days to give you a better chance at saving them.

I just ordered from top down solutions and got my package. It took maybe week or two. I ordered online and never spoke to anyone. Might take less time for you guys in the USA for shipping.
