Thank you Steve - your input is really apprecited.

As I have stated in one of the previous emails the replacement lights do
not come with boots.  I have never once said that I was NOT going to get
you some boots.  The Hella rep is trying to dig up some boots for me and I
will send them to you sans charge if you like [obviously you do].  It may
take a couple of weeks for the boots to arrive, but I will get you some.  

If you have any other comments on complaints please let me know.
