I'll try to snap a pic this evening. No comments about the dirt on the car, now! I drove to work today in the melty-snow and dirt crud.
I'll try again with a tripod... these are hardly worth posting

That blue tint is awesome. The super white generates twice the light

There are little holes/tabs to stick a tiny screw driver in. They are on the left / right side of the lens, Not the front back. This is using the car as a reference. Just insert the screw driver and gently push toward the center of the car. It will pop right out. Took me about 2 sec at the christmas party for Ron.

Hey Ron,

Is that an 'etch glass' decal? It's just that it looks white in the photo

I've been fixin' to get one but the decalfx page seems to be off-line

Yes, etched glass - the photo does not show the edge detail of the sticker. it looks like a white decal in the photo. Guess they're (decal.fx) updating the page...

Back from the Dead!

Ok, I've been searching around s2ki for a little while now looking for dome light LED options and found this Gateway thread.

Couple quick questions.

What are your impressions of these LEDs today? Are they still shining bright? If you did it all over again would you still use these or try something different? Anyone regrets going with a colored LED over white?

Thanks, Brad
