I had checked out the website and their price seems to be a little expensive. Do you mind to share the type of LED that you have installed on your car?

Thanks again for your information. After checking out again, I realize that their price is almost double than what I can find on ebay. What is your opinion on their stuffs? Is it worth the extra dollars to go for their products? The dome light that you installed cost $25 which is too expensive compared to ebay has the similar one for $15. Thanks!

I hope u don't mind i ask.. but i appreciated of your information.

yea i know there is a price difference on the ebay items. the thing is ebay quality is horrible. they burn out real quick...ive tried them. i know the owner of jlc and their products are top notch. never had a problem. they custom make they products so they know what they're doing. id still pay the extra $$ and go with good quality rather than settle for ebay. thats my opinion. if ur from the area swing by their shop and let them know henry sent you and they will take care of you. (speak to luis)

i bought it from my friends shop jlclighting.com. bubbles only occur when the wrapping is poor. when i wash car it doesnt affect it. as for scratching easily, it doesnt unless u run a sharp object across it. its rated at 5 yrs - meaning it last 5 yrs and if itake it off it will not damage the paint unless ur not careful.

Do you have any pictures that show your LED lights at night? Where did you buy your yellow film for fog from? What kind of LED for your front parking light? Thanks!

Thumbs up

Car looks GREAT! Love the roof and wheels, ties in NICELY!

Now, someone posted about never claying a brand new car, really!? When a car comes in, especially from overseas, it gets contaminants on the paint, not to mention when it sits on the lot for a week or weeks on end, so not trying to flame the guys who said NAY to claying a brand new car. When you clay a car, any car, you're starting with the cleanest possible surface possible, so the wax/sealant goes on easier/better and let the product do the best job it can possibly do, period. I say its good to clay your car about 3x's a year IMO.

Back on topic, like I've said in so many posts here, YET ANOTHER REASON WHY WHITE RULES ON THIS CAR!

One more thing, does your parking light is also function as the signal light? I heard that replacing with LED bulbs require something in order to work. Did you come into any problems yet?

hey be12nard, i dont have any night pics of my leds at the moment. ill try to take some when it stops raining. i bought the fog film from one of the guys here on the forums (not the precut film) as for the parking lights..i think its the 5smd t10. those pictures you quoted are old. im not running custom projectors w/ 800k hid, 300k hid for fog w/ yellow film, and my newest addition.........custom 2 tone switchback led bulb turn signal. they look sweet...probably the first fit to have these. they are tapped to the parking so they stay on when headlights are on and then switches to amber when turn signals are on.

one more thing my parking led are not my signals...then you change the signal bulbs you need resistors which jlc provided for me. they did all the lighting work on my car. i had all my bulbs for awhile now and no problems. jlc really know what theyre doing. they will let you know what you need for all applications. as for the switchback bulbs...our fits cannot run them as plug n play. cuz our sockets are single filaments but double filaments are needed for the switchback.
