There are other HID vendors on the forum that you can check with who carry different brands and I'd advocate supporting forum vendors here first. They'll typically take better care of you.

194 wedge LEDs for your sidemarker. Generally I'd suggest our V4 model, but I do know there's one variant of the clear sidemarkers that are floating around that have a thicker clear lens where the V4 don't fit. If you want to play it safe, you can use our V3 model.

one of a led light broke inside the LED housing and I guess it fell inside the housing is there a way to remove it? I've seen someone take apart a headlight apart but does the eyebrow come out too? if not I'm not going to bother with taking the head light apart I was able to put a new led inside with no space issues and everything is working fine.. its just the fact i know it roaming around in the eyebrow makes me want it out.

samething happen to mine. my led complete fell inside while i was installing it did not want to push it in too tight so it was loose. i end up taking the whole headlight housing unit out. and shack it until it can off out of any socket. for me it fell out the turn signal socket.

We've had a few issues on some vehicles of the solder weakening on the head from surge events. Our current units have a higher grade solder which should mitigate this somewhat, but we've already got our fully covered gel substrate V4 currently being live tested by some test users and forum mods. We're hoping to release these in a month or so. The high temp gel holds the components in place on surge events till it passes and solder resolidifies. Also reduces ambient heat transfer through encapsulation.

Wasn't sure if the eyebrow had a drop hole for the for the Bulb to fall into to fall out of another hole in the head light. figured my last resort was to take the headlight out and unseal it to get access to the eyebrow. since you said shaking it helped get the bulb out i'll try that tomorrow.

Those are our old v2 design which the v4 was built off of. You can try our v3 design though. We haven't had any solder issues with that model at all.

Hello AZN, would you beso kind a list once again all possible light sources that can be replaced withyour LED solution (inside and outside) and with which particular model? I’m still not sure if I got everything and I only want to order once and get it done.

I would actuallysuggest to add that list to your first post, as it will be useful for futurecustomers as well! Thanks!

We do have some new plasma LED H7 bulbs coming in our next shipment in a couple weeks which we're excited about. Will need external canbus harness though.

We'll have pricing after we get our hands on first batch to run through tests and confirm they meet our expectations before we allow into our lineup.
