It's looking like front turn signal isn't going to be a simple plug and play. It's going to require voltage regulators as there's no other way to cut off the power trickle to the turn signal. Sloppy piece of engineering imo, but designed within specs I suppose as these were always designed for normal halogen bulbs and not LEDs. I have my manufacturer try to locate a test vehicle on their end as this long distance testing just simply takes too long and makes QA a pain.
With that said, I'm going to offer rear turn signals. I've already ordered an initial limited run batch and when I get them in, I'll offer special pricing ($20) on them till they're sold out, then will go back to normal price ($27).
Unfortunately, due to Chinese New Years holiday, production is on hold for the next couple weeks. Damn those asians and their february new years lol.

I'll have white, red, and amber available. Once I receive them, I'll post up that they're available. Most likely will be selling them through my new website (www.aznoptics.com). You'll be able to see quantities so once they sell out, I'll bump prices back to normal.

Yeah, basically to get some pictures and feedback.
The side is done and processes paypal transactions. Just waiting for my stock to come in before I switch it live. I'll even offer if anyone finds a bug, I'll throw in 10% discount lol.

Does the footwell lighting dim like it does with the stock bulbs? I tried Polarg bulbs in the footwells, but to me they did not look any different than the stock bulbs, so I just put the stock bulbs back in. I want something brighter than stock, but no so bright that its intrusive. How much are the footwell lights?

all my leds are from azn, they are best bro. 7 sets will give you full interor and exterior led coverage. You will need 1 festoon led for rear dome and shorter t10 leds for front dome. the puddle lights on the bottom of the doors are not considered due to having to pull the whole door panel off to change them.

My LEDs have built in dimmer functionality so it will dim normally for footwell ambient lights. Open the door and they will be max bright. Close the door, they dim down to less harsh ambient levels.

I need a sidemarker, cause my orange one broke. I am thinking about getting clear. I might just stick with the clear oem factory bulbs that light up orange. But I am thinking about putting your LED's in it. The only problem is, I have not seen pictures of 8000k used in the sidemarkers (to match my eyelids). The only ones I have seen are 5000k. Does anyone think it would look too ricer to have 8000k. OR better yet, have any pictures?

6000K splits the difference between my 5000K and 8000K. Conventional wisdom (and straight up math) says 5000K is the better match as it's closer on the color spectrum to 6000K, but I have plenty of customers who ran 8000K and claim it's a better look. How much you like one over the other really depends on the sensitivity level of your eyes and how you perceive color spectrums.

I personally don't think 8000K sidemarkers look ricer and if you have 8000K for the rest of your setup, it just looks cleaner as all your front facing lights match up.

Not mine. The original pics from the first post in the sidemarkers are actually those crappy ones that start out at 8000K, but quickly turn purple, but I think someone had posted theirs with 8000K in the sidemarkers (or it might have been in the C63 thread)
