I think DION is back in school or something because he's not answering his PM's. I still have my License plate lights and they look awesome. I hope they don't burn out or whatever because I don't think I will be able to get a replacement.
I guess someone else will have to figure out how to create them in case DION doesn't want to do this anymore.
I'm trying to figure out how to do the citylights. I think I can buy the LED city light and than put a resistor on it or something. Anyone try making them?

Here a quick pic of my lights. I couldn't get a far away pic because I backed up to far in my garage.
Here's a pic of my HID's with an Amber city light I put on. Looks really different compared to other peoples.

has anyone else had problems with these LED's? they looked awesome on my car at first, then the right one got slightly dimmer. a week later even dimmer. then eventually it got extremely dim and stayed that way. i PM'ed Dion and I was supposed to get a replacement but never got one. then the left one completely blew out so i was left with on really dim light. now i'm back with the stock bulbs. really sucks. i liked the way the LED's looked too. when i pulled them out, the resistor on top was completely burnt on both of them. anyone else?

Anyways, Apparently mbny and nlpamg have had problems with my bulbs, so I have stopped all production of licence plate bulbs. All other interior lighting seem to still be trouble free. What I don't understand is that it seems as though only bulbs I send out in the mail seem to have this problem. The one's on my car, my Dad's w210, and my local installs have been trouble free for at least the past three months.
nlpamg has been nice enough to send me back his bulbs so I can troubleshoot. I will be glad to replace any bulbs or refund anyone's money provided it has not been 2 months since you have recieved the bulbs. This restriction excludeds those who have previously informed me of the situation. For any other inquiries or if anyone else is having problems, email me here:
DACHIGGA@gmail.com.
as I will not be checking the forum untill I am free from educational obligations.
I am sorry for causing anyone inconvienience. I did not start this as a buisiness venture but more of an "one modder helping another" type ideal. Once again, I have done extensive testing on the bulbs as I have had the bulbs on my car and others for over 6 months before even posting them on the forum. Every bulb I send out is tested in car for at least 5 continuous hours before I send them out.
I AM NOT HERE TO RIP ANYONE OFF.
Dion.

I've been meaning to chime in. Dion has been great, he is totally not here to rip anyone off. I had problems with one bulb at first so he sent me a replacement, but in the mailing process, the envelope he sent it in got torn apart and the bulb got lost. He sent me a whole second set b/c the first set was dying.
I too noticed that the resistor was burnt out or that some bulbs would die and reappear. I think that the bulbs MUST have gotten damaged in transit or that maybe the 05's use a higher voltage.
Either way, I sent all four bulbs back to Dion to have him see what's wrong. I just LOVE the way they look and just want to keep on trying.
mbny, where'd you get those hyperwhite bulbs? let us know how they are and please post some pics! thanks!

Hey,
I just want to say that Dion is the man. If it wasn't for him trying to make these bulbs we wouldn't have these great mods.
I just hope that he will somehow make them again or improve his design and build better ones. It is such a cool mod if you see it in person. Maybe we can look at the Lexus version and see what we can do to make them.

I tried reachin dion, but he hasnt answered my PM yet. im hoping to get a replacement, because those were really nice LEDs, matched my HIDs. please get back to me Dion, its been a good two-three weeks since I left you a PM. Thanks
