Hello,

This WE i'll meet a Tech', we'll work together to achieve the Plug and Play Module.

I'll post some pics of the installation...you'll see, it's very easy.

The most difficult Job, is to remove the Plastic Cover in the Trunk, the side carpets, and then unscrew the 4 bolts of the Light, swap the Tail light.

You unplug the Tail light, fix the module on the Metallic traverse, plug the OEM connector to the "IN" side of the module, and Plug the "OUT" Harness with OEM connector to your new Facelift LED Tail Light...Done !

Regards,
Frenchy.

Expensive...and NOT PLUG & PLAY....

You'll have to cut Off the OEM Plug of the car to install their boxes...See the Video of installation on Youtube...

They ask 75$ to send... the 2 boxes (less than 1kg) to send from Germany to France ! ...and they don't have any secured page to pay....

They ask you to pay the 299€ first, and then give you the Shipping Cost... so Fair Play...

They didn't give any link to pay...
They don't have Paypal account...
you'll have to give them your Credit Card information (Owner's ,name, number, validity, SSL 3 digits) per MAIL !!!

Too Risky for me... I didn't go forward and make some research to make my own boxes....

All parts are already ordered.... I hope i can give you the First pics of the first finished sample in 10 days max...

Regards,
Frenchy.

Exclamation

Hello,

Finally i got the parts that were missing

I will open a new topic now to present you the prototype.

This first sample was not completely finished when i made the video, but i was too impatient to show you how easy it is to use it.

I will do a better video with the complete installation, including how to remove the trunk plastic traverse, the Tail light swap, and where to fix the boxes.

Regards,
Frenchy.
