I got an email from Jin a couple days ago saying to send the $91.99 (discounted price) to their PayPal account and the kits would be back in stock end of August, which I assumed meant to be shipped out then. Do we still not have enough?

How will we know 10 people signed up? It looks like the list on the website hasn't updated.

I don't thing he's got 10 yet, this is the email I got:


Please send the $91.99 to our PayPal account at

exledusa@gmail.com

Our factory is on a process to make the TSX interior kit and we will receive the product on end of this month.
If we can't get the 10 customer, we will refund the money to you or will apply different amount of discount rates.

Thank you so much for your interest and have a great day.

Jin - exLEDusa.com

I recently did the install myself. Ill post some pics when I reach the minimum requirements but it was fairly straight forward for a beginner like myself. The license plate lights turned out to be excellent!

I purchased my lights from Warden JP as recommended by quite a few posters here

Any thoughts on doing this in red? For the sake of night vision, I mean.

The CU2 TSX has a blue mood light, one right up between the map lights, and then in the foot wells. Can those be swapped to red?

Further, I'd like to keep the license plate lighting white. Can I mix and match stuff like that?

Or would the red scream more "ricer" than it would "practical"?

Either way, I'm game for a group discount?!

first off, nice signature, but my taste is better ;P

they do have red LED covers or whatever they call it, just check out the exLEDusa site. why would you do blue instead of red on your vortex though? scientifically, red provides the least usable light, then blue, then white. thats the general trend i believe, so with red, its gonna be more difficult to see.

the blue light next to the moonroof controls and the light at the footwell are soldered in. so if you wanna switch them out it's not plug and play...gonna have to do some handiwork to swap it out. and if u dont know how, then you may fuck shit up.

but yea use the covers if u wanna test out it looks...better than being stuck with a color that sucks. one day i'll stop being lazy and test out my covers to see the different colors...

I already paid for mine, and Jin said that if they don't get 10 people, then he'll either refund the money or apply another kind of discount for me.

I think people keep saying they are interested, but not actually following through with it so it sucks for those that actually paid so far.

Same deal with every aftermarket parts..... ppl say interested, but talk means nothing to the vendors who actually have to account for cost.

yea i could've sworn i remember reading about tons more interest and he told me there were only 4 people who signed up. like what gives...i took time to keep pestering him about it...he took his time to make it happen...had to go to his higher ups and convince them...and now barely any interest. sigh. i think this was what he was afraid of even before setting it up. jin's a straight up guy though, he'll probably give you a discounted price...not as good as the group buy but better than retail. and no i'm not getting any sort of kickback for recommending his products. he's just a stand up guy and i have his product and can vouch for how good they are so that's all.

Yeah I hear ya. I've been in contact with him and he's helped a lot. Just sucks that this will be the last time they ever do any group buy with this forum.

Thanks

I looked on their site, but I didn't see a cover? Red might be in the lower end of total light, but does that matter at night? I'm looking for a map light that can be turned on, and won't blind the driver. Red would do that, as it doesn't affect night vision. Right?

i'm not sure if the covers will work on the dome lights. from what i remember, i think (and dont' quote me on it) that it only works on the courtesy lights.

thats correct. only the map lights in the front.

no fit on the big dome.


also, from what jin told me, they are to help diffuse the light up front not to change the color.

like I have blue bulbs with the clear covers. it softens them down a bit.

I just sent in my group buy. The website shows he only needs 3 more paid confirmations to get 10!!! We're so close! Spread the word!
