Depending on what you are going to be studying, the best "schools" on campus are the Business and Liberal Arts schools. Top notch, in fact. If you're going there for master's, it's known for Business, Film and Teaching (aside from the Law School, which is world famous, but not necessarily in conjunction directly).
No problem about derailing the thread. If you have more questions for me, you can always email or PM me.

If I were to go back, I'd probably do a double degree with Management as my 2nd. I graduated with a BA in Vocal Performance/Pedagogy (Music) and minor in Asian Pacific American Studies.

i know this is an old thread but does anyone have a clue as to who is importing these? I contacted the manufacturer (Shiniest Indistries) but they never gave me any info on importers to the US.

This is the third LED set that I have used in the last 3 months. I've been running into the same problem everytime (dead bulbs here and there). Earlier today I noticed there were 3 bulbs died but then they lit up again after i closed the door, so it was just a loose connection. I'm really thinking to replace them with the non-LED ones.
PS: i take that back. I just checked again and now the bulbs are dead again.
I'm so sick of this

Anyways... These S-class style lights are Taiwanese knock-offs.. they come in both incandesant and LED versions... the shop near where I live stock them (Bangkok, THAILAND) and lots of people have 'em. The fit is good and the moulding job is smooth... all in all it's a pretty good product for the price... but I'm not getting one.
The same Taiwanese company also makes knock off Bi-Xenons. Not getting these either. Just because I'd rather spend my money on other things.
Most of these that I've seen usually misses (or dead) one LED along the edges at random.

sorry for digging this post out of the grave but i just bought a pair of these taillights and i have a 05 c230 and the drivers side has a 7 pin connector and the pass. side has a 7pin connector but with only 6 actual connectors. and the taillights come only with a 6 pin connector. i think some cutting and sodering has to be done here...but has anyone had this problem?
oh ya and i think the drivers side pin has 7 connectors b/c for the rear fog light....
any help would be appreciated

The fact that one side has one wire less is because that side does not have a foglight bulb wired up.
The rear SAM can be programmed through stardiagnose to either support 1 taillight bulb per side or 2 taillight bulbs per side so by going for 1 bulb the car might come up with a malfunction code (unless you change the rear SAM setting).
The last thing you want to do is soldering anything onto the car's wiring harness...just get the pre 05 taillight connectors (mailed you the partnumbers) and the proper tool to take the pins out of the connector so you can swap them.

I believe EKY made the switch from the LEDs to the non LEDs because the LED lights kept on burning out like some members.

Yup I switched out to the non-LED's. It's too much hastle. Now they're just collecting dust in my garage... wasted money.

Both sides actually went bad. I was going to have a friend work on the circuit board but I figure it's too much hastle. And by following the forums, it seems there are some other solutions. Good luck though!
