He'll get nabbed if he doesn't become a vendor. Same thing happened to a friend of mine...
But overall, thanks for coming on with a cool product for a decent price.

Again, you are the one who posted it, how would we know? Where did you get it from? I assumed you were associated with the website/seller/OP.

I was debating it, and the 10% didn't exactly put me over the edge (only comes to a few bucks) but I took advantage of it anyhow!

Hey Dougboy,
I, personally, will be purchasing these bulbs at the beginning of March (have bills to pay). I can put in extra orders then if you'd like.
I'll be making two trips to Toronto/GTA in March [first week of March and third week of March]. I can deliver them personally to you then (or if I'm in Montreal, I can have my friend deliver them to you for me). You can pay then.

Or, if you want them earlier you can send me payment and I can go ahead and put in a purchase for you (and maybe Lights). Then deliver (or mail, in Lights' case) to you as I get them.

I'm not sure I see the point in even putting HIDs in the trunk anymore. These are ridculously bright.

Yes I know. What I'm saying is these LEDs are so bright that I don't see the point even putting HIDs in the trunk anymore. This is much easier.

I haven't put mine in yet. The weather here in ny has just been crazy. 60 degrees one day, 60 mph winds the next day and then snow from last night into this morning. I'll definitely do mine tonight when I get home.

Hey shark when you do your switch please do a precise install. I wanna put a switch in too and I've been looking for a clear write but there really isn't any.

no problem. i'm doing the install with a local member who has done a few of them before. but i'll take a bunch of pics and write it up as well.

i've got everything i need besides the HID kit, ddmtuning is out of stock for a week or so. so i hope to do the install within the month.

I got these in the mail today, I'm going to try and install them and get a pic with 1 LED and 1 stock bulb. That way they can be compared properly. Two separate photos can't really be compared accurately because the camera is going to adjust the exposure to compensate.

No doubt. As you'd expect from an LED the light is very directional. Whereas the stock bulb lights up the whole housing/reflector, these project straight out of the housing forming a circle on the lens and not lighting up the reflector. They are definitely brighter than the stock bulbs. Pics!

I'll get a pic tonight with them illuminating what's behind me. I'll even throw one of the stock bulbs back in so you can get a comparison up against a wall or something. Trunk is still apart since I'm painting the silver garnish over the license plate.

Still having issues with their payment method page.
Lowered the amount of LEDs from 3 to 1 and it appears that the USPS shipping is currently unavailable (as well as with their "over $50 free shipping method").

So far they have not contacted me back when I emailed them or left a message on their Facebook.

I had the same issue with the payment page, being I'm also from Canada, and they told me to order off the ebay site. Since I don't know if it's possible to make a shopping cart on ebay I just put in the comments to ship my two items together. However, I am shipping my items to an American address not to my Canadian address.

Do you have a link to the auction?

Then again, I don't think I can have it shipped to a US address when my paypal/ebay is set up with a Canadian credit card+address can I?

As promised... pics! These are definitely way better than the stock bulbs in terms of illuminating what is behind you. It definitely can't compare to the reverse HID's, but this is 100% plug-n-play.

This is one stock reverse bulb doing its best!


This is one LED


LED on the far side and OEM bulb in the near side... the LED clearly overpowers whatever yellow light the OEM bulb is throwing out


And finally, both LED's.


IMO this is a way simpler option than the HIDs. Although they are not as bright, they are a big improvement over the stock bulbs, and they are plug-and-play.

No more pics from me I swear.

Is anyone from vancouver(canada) thinking of ordering these ? Wouldn't mind saving some on shipping if we could combine orders.
