I'm in for a set once you have everything figured out!

Have to admit would be kind of cool if I could do purple on occasion. 😈 Although wouldn't use that while driving around on a regular basis.

Need to see an install video

chicagofan00 · 07-20-2022, 12:44 PM

Well, I bit the bullet!

What is the estimated ship time?

Edit: reread and see that it is two weeks.

Btw, no issues with codes popping up with the swap?

Ok, cool. Looking forward to getting these.

Any issues with fitting these to a UK spec car?

More importantly, do you ship to the UK?

Thanks!

Bumper removal needed or you can get in with them still attached?

BIGW0RM · 07-21-2022, 10:35 PM

Does the preorder include the BT controller?

we can ship out of the USA Now - If you are ordering please note which shipping carrier you prefer DHL , UPS, USPS, FedEx

Brilliant, thanks man!
Have you an approximate shipping cost available?

Also, just to confirm, I'm assuming there are no DRL board differences between Euro and US spec cars? I can't think of any personally.

Pirate1 · 07-22-2022, 08:49 AM

Already order yesterday and already pay !
I am in Canada
Just let me know what is the price via DHL

Wait, am I reading this correctly? The front wheel and wheel liner needs to be removed to gain access to these boards?

Other photos it seemed like it was a top down job and accessible just by going under the hood.

Doesn't necessarily impact my decision to keep my order but for someone like myself that doesn't have a lift or floor jack, makes install a bit more of a pain. Lol. Can we just do the wheels at full tilt to one direction to gain access?

🤷🏻

There are 2 DRL LED Boards per Headlight 1 is accessible on the Top of the Headlamp the Second is behind the Headlamp to access the rear you can turn the wheel all the way to left or right to access the front liner but your gonna somewhat struggle - I'll be doing a full Video when the first batch of boards arrive and make it as easy as possible - Taking the front wheel and liner off just makes it easy to access

Got it. Appreciate the additional info.
