faiz is just really nicefaiz is just really nicefaiz is just really nicefaiz is just really nice
first off thank you for your dedication to this project for the community

not sure if u will cover this in your formal purchase post but a few quick ?'s

1) are u planning to ship them with a matching LED bulb for the outermost location (the bulb that DOES NOT flash when signalling). from your vids it seems to be an incand bulb that doesnt really match the white of the drl leds.

2) can these be clearguarded to avoid stone chips etc?

3) have u put the installed prototypes thru a car wash etc to ensure there arent issues with condensation etc?

sorry for all the questions.....

I have LED's in the outermost corners already. I'm guessing that I'd have to move that over? Is it even possible to swap those bulbs?

I'm wondering the same thing faiz is too. Thanks for putting together a great project.

Good questions Atomic and Faiz....

First, there are tons of different LED or hyper white bulbs that are available for sale. On the stock car, alot of true LED bults even cause a warning light. Seems like some guys have luck with the HOEN ones. Keeping this corner light bulb is a must to keep the full circuit working so there are not warning lights. We tested the lights yesterday with some different LED bulbs we had here and insta light. With that being said, I am going to go to good ole AutoZone and buy the standard plug in ones that are brigher bluish and see how they look. If no issues, I will recommend that to others. I think they might be $5 So to say if your LED bulb will work or not, I have no idea.

As far as the condensation. The 2 halves of the light are ultrasonic waved welded together. What that means... They basically fuse the 2 halves together so NO moister will get it. Everyone here lives in different climates and environments. So all I can do is test here. With that being said, the 3 factors of Warranty - Bad Circuit Board, Failed LED Bulb, or Moisture is covered under 1 of the 2 plans.

I'm using the dLED3 bulbs from Hoen which has the built in circuitry to prevent warning lights from coming on. I'm glad that it'll work with these!

My light kit has a complete circuit board on it, so I cannot say 100%. If you want to ship one to me, I can test it out.

I guess I could do that. Send me your shipping address via PM and I'll send one to you. Send it back when you're done.

Sweet...either way would have worked. I have a bunch of those dLEDs.

Here you go buddy..I'm sure there are others that would love this with your light kit too! Would look awesome!

I know, they're expensive but they actually work compared to some of the other cheap chinese knock offs I've also tried. Funny thing is that I'm chinese but even I have to laugh at the irony of that.

Not sure who I missed. The first 40 guys will get a special aluminum 007 style case with foam pads for the LED's and to store your stock ones in. You will also get a 3 year warranty which is extended from the standard 1 year warranty. Only if you pay in full $1000 shipped anywhere in the USA. Gulf and Euro guys, add $100 for shipping. Canada and PR guys add $30 for shipping. International customers dont worry, will ship them via Fedex as a special lower "gift".

I will contact each of you now DO NOT ORDER ONLINE.

For those reading this and did not sign up, our first run is 200 pairs, so there is plenty more to buy. Standard packaging will be in art designed boxes and a 1 year warranty. We expect these ready to ship in 45-60 days. Here is the official product link - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...2-p-63681.html
