Please don’t show that again. It’s a crime against good taste.

That's the problem with "good taste", some people think they have the formula and find out later that they don't.

To each, their own, but It has too much going on for me.

I posted door logo led lights 5 years ago and some people said it was cheesy, then Mercedes Benz made them a $200 per door option.

A great feature to be immediately stopped and ticketed by police for having blue flashing lights on the front of the car

No way. It should be used in conjunction with locking/unlocking the car with the key fob. Now that's what I call K3wl!

didn't even thinking about the radiator. now that is so funny. Maybe they saw the new electric EQC grill?

Ah China, you never disappoint with your poorly manufactured, gaudy, non-functionally, unsafe, brand infringement car accessories.

To each their own; My car came with the illuminated star and I think that's obnoxious.

I like the new version. It looks great. Now if only they could do a version for the rear. It'll be sure to entertain the folks driving on my rear bumper...

New one is better but if I had to choose, I would have it with JUST the led on the lines, not on the diamonds. I think that part looks cool. But once the signaling starts it's weird.

They at least fixed the problem I pointed out.

Here's the thing; and this also holds true for the illuminated star. The driver nor passengers can see or appreciate it. So what's the point? Just to say you have it?

I might have to drop $700 just to see what I get.

Apparently, the turn signals are using gyros and are not wired to the actual turn signals

Some people just don't want others to have fun.

If that's your idea of fun go for it and spend the money. I find those add ons tacky and a waste of money. To each his own.

I admire the tech, and don't hate it. I like light mods. This would be killer for car shows, events....whatever and etcetera
