I checked back last Sunday to realize the purchase window had already expired. Would have been nice to know the deadline was approaching as I had checked back several times and someone was still trying to figure out how the group buy would actually work. Take a moment PM those who signed up. Oh well, some would rather complain than reach out.

Got my kit in the mail today and installed everything on my lunch break at work tonight. Took about 45 minutes, and everything went pretty smooth. Only problem I ran into was that I pushed too hard on the first courtesy light socket which popped it into the door. This was easily fixed by grabbing it with a needle nose pliers, rotating a bit and pulling it back out. To avoid this I found that inserting the LED bulb at an angle, bottom corner first, works best.
When I did the second vanity mirror set the bulbs did not light...reversed them in the holder and they turned on...so there is a correct polarity.
The license plate lights were easier than I expected, and I used the "peel back the liner" method. Remove three clips and you have easy access to the sockets.
No blown fuses!!!
Overall they look great, the color is very white without being blue (I ordered the 5k) and they are all very bright. I still need to tweak the brightness on the map and dome lights. Quality is top-notch and Jin was very helpful with some pre-purchase questions I had.
Even though it's a bit more expensive than some other LED options out there, I think it's more than worth it for the color, brightness, custom fit and quality. I highly recommend them if anyone is considering the conversion. Thanks again to everyone who made this group buy possible, the price was certainly icing on the cake.

Just stopped by the house to grab some stuff, and Jin's package was in my mailbox. Won't have time to screw around with it for a while, but wanted to let you guys know. Thanks again to everybody who hooked it up and participated. And thank-you again, Jin!

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to remove all the bulb covers? I'd hate to have folks start breaking them because they tried to remove them wrong.

All done and I'm very happy with the final outcome 
. The only problem I had is that when I was installing the trunk light, I blew up a fuse. I had a hard time and it's my fault. Fuse was replaced by someone else and then license plate lights were installed last and everything is working!!!

I didn't realize how bright those things are - now I can find things in my center console.
In theory, one should leave the passenger side map light original or turn down the intensity to the lowest possible level in order to not distract the driver. That would, of course, look goofy though.
I'm also contemplating not changing the visor lights. The colder light isn't conducive to accurate color balance and is much too harsh for the intended purpose.

so some of them ordered 3500K yellowish white for their vanity lights.
send them and get exchanged!

Goodbye.
I don't know about you guys in the 2nd group buy, but we got the lowered output vanity lights in the first one and it is still white, just not super bright. I believe the description was similar to an upscale hotel bathroom vanity mirror.
And I've got to say that accord rear light looks fancy sharp! Me likey.

Bought my TSX a few months ago, and just found this forum. I may have missed out on this group buy, but will DEFINITELY be keeping my eye out for another opportunity like this!

I had to put padding in the trunk light bc i have a sub and the thing rattled like no other with the board just sitting on the cover.

I did mine over a week ago. I did them during the day so I was skeptical at first, but that very same night I was impressed. Even the tag looks amazing!
Like 'em so much I now look forward to night time so I can see 'em in action! Lol.
I too just got the 5000k with clear lenses and it is at the lowest intensity, yet the brightness and color of it is awesome. Definitely exceeded my expectations.
Couldn't be happier with the results an ease of installation...
Great Mod!

Loving mine, although I did slice up my finger removing the rear dome light bulb. The map lens covers really don't seem to do much in my opinion. I got the cream lenses and they look identical to the rear dome to my eyes.
