The product was tested, however we didn't pull ever set and test. Now we are.

I'm working on a quick video to show how to test the lights. Won't be fancy but should show how to make the connections. Give me a couple hours on this (afternoon today will be up)

Where are you having them installed? I presume that's Pickering, Ontario? I work in Ajax.

Best of luck getting it all sorted though.
Sorry auzzie, by you saying that you're paying 45% on income tax is irrelevant to the topic here. I understand that things are the way they are but things are also the way they are for a reason. You pay 45% on income tax but you get free healthcare (it's not free perse) but I pay just below 40% here in the state plus I have to pay for my own healthcare which is pretty close to what you pay but do you see any of us cry about that? It's the way of life. Anyone wish to chime in?

Let's move on, Dan is putting up a video soon and hopefully everyone come out happy.

If I were to do it over I would
1. Take front bumper off, now way around that
2. Take out OEM lights and put new ones in, wire nuts, no soldering
3. bring wire to fuse box not go effort of going through dash
4. pull bumper close enought to test lights but don't mount reinstalll bumper

This way the only effort is put old lights back and rehang front bumper if one doesn't work. Honestly that wasn't that hard.

My project was much bigger as I was replacing both front radiators at the same time. But since I did it myself, I know how I would do it again. 20 minutes to take bumper off.

Woh woh.. Health Care? Don't read into it so much. Cry about it? I was just saying, what we think is fair, and what the real world reality is, isn't always the same.

Easy tiger.

If there is a way to have them tested before installed please let us know. I have three sets which I would like to test before installing them

OK here is the quick video, no sound, but should be clear enough for anyone that needs it.

Link to the download.
See YouTube below.

To save everyone having to download 100Mb video, and to keep your westmaster sane I've put it up on YouTube for everyone (if Vivid has a problem with that just fire me a PM and I'll take it down).

Thanks for the video! Phew, they look fine! I'm happy

Note: I only had to connect 1 wire in prong #2 to have the leds light up, prong #3 is not mandatory I guess.

Some more photos of my install. Hope this helps!

Entry from wheel well. Not sure why I have this hole here and maybe my car is the only one with this hole but I fed the wire into this to get to the compartment in front of the firewall.

Update

So after three days of my lights being different shades of yellow on passenger side they are not yellow anymore. They match the drivers side. Strange that it changed colors after 3 days, and that was three days with ignition on and off. So I don't know what to think at this point. Maybe keep them on and see what happens for a while? They did look horrible when the colors were shades of yellow. But now it doesn't look that bad.

Rob did explain that the color I am seeing on the driver side initally was normal with shades of blue/green. So I guess that e-mail and next day delivery that I never received is okay since I will be keeping these on for a while to see what happens. And to Robs credit he did call within 15 minutes of my initial post and was going to send e-mail and new set next day, that part just didn't happen. I'm sure he is busy and got sidetracked.

Any others out there notice change in colors after being yellow?
