Wow Axis lights on ebay? How much were they? Also I think the reverse lights do come on when you just have the key on accessory, don't need to start the engine.

Threw on the Circuit Hero decal today, because I have the shift knob . Also zip tied down my tow strap (look at that chipped bumper!).

You can get it to heat as well using the hot air from the vent if you need that for whatever reason.

If you want I can post a few pics up to show how to install it. Super easy mod, only takes 15 minutes to do once you get the valve cover.
That's it? I'm really disappointed there's not a separate evaporator or at least a little peltier plate.

You've completely dashed my dreams of cold Guinness in the winter.

^ It's called a cooler. You put ice in it and it keeps things cold.

Well, yeah if you just mean the Axis tails are overpriced period. I think they were $300+ even in the group buys. Plus I've read a few people's posts about LEDs going out in them. Also you have to hack up wiring to get them to work, as the previous user said. BUUUUT if you really like how they look, then they're worth it. Things are worth whatever people are willing to pay, that's how I look at it. Just like I think Mugen and Spoon stuff is outrageously overpriced and I wouldn't buy it (new anyway). To each their own though. I've bought and done things that plenty of people would think is ridiculous. The Axis tails are greeeeaat looking lights though if you ask me.

Bought mine from tw panson for 300 cdn last year. Mine were PNP. They included adapters to let the stock reverse bulbs to fit in.

If you look at yahoo auctions Japan, you can usually find them for 16000 to 20000 yen.

Adding DAB / DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcast UK) to my Jazz

I fitted to my GE6 an AutoDAB radio unit. It is hidden behind the original radio and only the silly little (sticky) aerial is visible. Controlled only by the steering wheel control (Channel up, Channel down and Mode). It came with the cable to plug into rear of radio and the original then plugs into that. I now get Radio 1 Extra, Radio 4 Extra etc. etc. I think it found 66 channels. I have programmed it into preset 6 on both FM presets. About £150. I am well pleased with it and the voice and info comes from the original system and the display is used too to give information. Available form Amazon, Ebay etc. etc. My model was CTDAB-H02.

I installed some D2S projectors into my car. One light is not working but I am hopefully getting them replaced soon.

Check your grounding on the side that isn't working. If that doesn't do it, try switching bulbs to see if that side is burnt out. If it still doesn't do it, swap ballasts to see if that's the problem.

It must be one of those 3 things if only one side is not working. Good luck

I actually spend the good part of an afternoon testing the system out. When i fitted and tested the lights before I put the front lens on, both worked just fine. But once the lens went back on it started to have problems. I changed the grounding point, even grounding it directly to the same point as the other light. The passenger side was the side having the issues. The bulb on that side never worked once the issues began. But the ballast would randomly work on the driver side bulb, but only is both ballasts were plugged in. Its a weird issue.

Well I can't seem to find any Axis tails on ebay right now. If they're more rare now then the price has probably gone up. Anyone find any listings?

Like I said, yahoo auctions has them. just search "GE fit led"

Found this just from a quick search. Don't ask me how to order from them cause I have no idea lol. But I'm sure someone else here has experience buying off of this site.
