You're right. I was going off memory and the OEM ones were black in his video.

Those look like the non US style PCB with 9 pins. Those wont work for us in the US.

another solution

Check these out... these come with the heat sink attached.

But they are also only 9pin for non US cars.

Im guessing these are all coming from the same place.

Those look like replacements for the stock outer lights, not rgb or different colors. But still useful

Ah! I missed that part!

They need to offer the RGBW LEDs with the heat sink. They would sell so much more than just the RGBW led pcb only kit.

Found the RGBW version. It's still 9pin. I have had terrible luck with AliExpress. Never shopping from there again.

I love mine. Thanks hawaiiracer1 proven and tested. No bullshit. No going back and forth. No waiting until the end of Sept to deliver on the slow boat from China, only to find out you've ordered the wrong parts, plug them in, only to realize that you now need to find a way to erase the Christmas tree of faults and warnings on the dash that you just created.

Honor the source. hawaiiracer1 has countless hours in testing and R&D into his product, and I assure you, from having him install mine, you're not going to find a person with more attention to detail. I'm damn near clinically OCD on some things, and the attention to detail with this kit, well exceeded my expectations.

The best part. Turn the car on, after install. No error codes to clear. The car had no idea the DRLs were removed and replaced.

I'm the first retail kit install, and I was there for the installation, and everything went on, without a hitch. The first post couldn't have been written any better. "Who is the brave soul that will try em out for 200$ and report back."

No, not with my $8,000 headlights.
Honor the source. I can assure you, he's not making $200 on a kit, or even close. He's here for the community and to offer something that's been fully tested and is ready to go.

Agreed, just curious if anyone has heard of the company. They also sell other items.
