Do you think you'll have those clean turn signal bulbs in the next week or so, or will it be longer? Want to order but want to keep shipping down.

automationLED shipping my package out the same day as my order. received the bulbs today and installed them within 30 minutes. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but now I'm so happy that I bought a set. the glow that my brz has at night reminds me of my dad's new 750i---tons of presence on the road. the cabin lights were my favorite--a huge upgrade in light output over the stock lightbulb. i especially love how the interior of my car glows when looking from the outside (spaceship-like). i'll get pictures up tomorrow.

one thing that bugs me is how the godzilla strip wont stay mounted in the center of the housing due to a lack of empty platform behind it. i initially had it stuck to the empty platform on the left side of the housing but my OCD nature couldn't stand the lack of symmetry for more than a minute. now i have it adhered on top of the +/- terminals in the center of the housing but it's already shifted after 20 minutes of driving. will figure something out tomorrow

i really wish i didn't' forget the include the reverse lights in my order. gotta pay shipping twice now =[

What do you mean - does it tilt or actually shift around? Can you take a pic with the light off?

Think package 1 would be good enough or you still happy with the big godzilla panel?

If you remove the cover and look inside the housing, you'll see this little knub that sticks out sorta, it's a plastic piece that has a flat surface, that's what i stick the dome light panel to and it holds on fine, doesn't move around at all, just make sure you clean it well to remove all grease and dust from it to ensure adhesion

Installed everything(dome,trunk, and license plate ) tonight . Went very smooth . Everything was installed in less then 5 min, the dome light did have me scratching my head for a min until I realized the part that touched the two terminals was a spring. The product looks great when lite up, the trunk isn't a lot brighter but it looks better with the white light . Very happy thanks

I fixed the dome light issue per jjdrivesajazz's recommendation. didn't see that flat black thing when I first installed the light at night in the dark -.-

I'm still extremely happy with the godzilla panel. Get package 2 and thank me later. I promise I'll get comprehensive pictures up tonight. Been so busy lately.

Gonna order the reverse lights as soon as I finish this post. Car looks funny at the moment with the custom plate light and OEM reverse light being different colors.

edit: just called jjdrivesajazz to find out which reverse light to chose since they offer 3. the brz and frs uses 921 (T15) for yall's reference. he also kindly offered to pay for shipping of the reverse lights since I forgot to add it to my first order from a week ago. I denied the favor of course since I know that business is hard nowadays and I don't mind paying another $5 to help a quality company out

Anyone know how to get to the rear reverse lights? i cant even get in there, or i might be putting my hand in the wrong way.

It's tight, my hand barely fits. Slide under the car till your head hits the muffler (make sure it's cold!) then when you look up in the bumper you will see two wire's where the lights are. Picture attached:

i ordered the full conversion kit to included LED's for the rear fog light

just received and installed my reverse lights. gotta say thanks to jjdrivesajazz again for bringing us such an amazing product. love how the color temperature of my reverse lights matches the liscense plate lights now. whoever says the lights aren't bright enough probably has vision issues...j/k:)

enjoy the pics!
