David, my comments were an expression of frustration, i admit, and they were
true...as I was not about to use my brand new expensive lights in the
relentless rains we've had in SF lately without the boots. Perhaps it would
not have been so frustrating had i learned that a boot was necessary or would
not be included prior to my attempts to install them. I did attempt to
purchase everything necessary for installation. Anyway, i never made any
negative remarks about you, only positive ones. But it was frustrating not
being able to use the lights after taking all steps to ensure a quick
installation upon arrival.
