CobaltTurbo is infamous around these parts
Dan,

Not sure if it is the lighting or camara setting, the DRL's dont look very bright in the photo.

Are the plugs and high intensity bulbs for the OEM corner parking lights, so we don't have to remove the ones from the OEM sets we pull off our cars?

Do NOT NOT NOT use an aftermarket bulb with the turn signal pod. This is what happened to mine when I did that..it's because it burns hotter than the stock OEM bulbs. I'd just move the OEM bulbs over.

There are TONS of different ranges, so lets first test ours appropriately.

I remember when you first reported that so I've been cautious about changing. I've had the Hoen dLED bulb in now for about 5 months and seems to burn cool - no damage.

dLEDs are fine. Those aftermarket incandescent bulbs are not. Consider yourself forewarned. I would NEVER ever put in aftermarket incandescent bulbs again. These turn signal pods were $450 each and I had to get TWO new ones. I strongly encourage everyone to re-use the OEM bulbs or dLEDs in these new pods.

Any side-by-side photos of the LED's next to an Audi or Mercedes front LED for comparison?

Thanks,

I'm starting to wonder when these would be sent out? I'm going on a road trip in early June and would like these installed before then. Can you send us updates ASAP, please.

And I'd like to see those pictures of the DRL with an Audi, etc like promised.

They are scheduled to leave to us by this weekend in China. Airfreight so about 5 days. So I hope to be shipping next week. I appreciate your utmost patience!

I did buy a sylvania bulb at autozone and it was just a brighter white. Once the bulbs they are supplying come, I can take a pic of those. Today I will post a picture next to the CLS63 we have so you can compare.

I know you're just ignoring my warnings..well, what can I say. It's not appreciated but I just hope that it doesn't happen to anyone else. It happened to two of us.
