Why do people need dome lights this bright?

I don't think Stage 1 is terribly bright. The accent light is quite subdued.

The real thing people are interested in here is the the two modes vs the total brightness.

You can get a dome light that will blind people from a few places. Getting one that has distinct tasteful modes for door open vs reading light is another thing.

Thanks for starting a list sportsguy!

You never really know what someone may or may not want, but it never hurts to have all the options. I can control the light output almost down to the nearest lumen anywhere from 0 to 1400.

Done!

well lik i said b4, if there is a simple way to splice my footwells into this then add me (that'll b domelight setup #3 lol)

i'd also be into a stage 1

Do you want to be added to the list?

OPPS i didnt see tht red text :bonk:
hope we get more news on these soon :)))

When you replied I sitll hadn't added it, that was my bad :happy0180:

@Sportsguy83...add me to the list.

I'm thinking that a red light that will closely match the interior red dials, etc, might be nice, but maybe not, kinda on the fence, but I have no clue as to wavelength, how to match color, etc, so I'll leave that up to the expert Acree.

+1

I'd like to be added to the list.

Thanks

stage 2 looks great. not too bright but not blinding either :p

Time for a small update!

I just finished moving this weekend and still have a lot of stuff to unpack and organize. I should be able to divert my full attention to this in the next week. The good news, I am now an official FT86club vendor!

Another issue I wanted to discuss was how to physically deal with the retrofit and offering core options for people. You never really know what condition a core will be in when someone mails it back to you after you've sent a completeled unit. So, due to the potential for massive headaches when trying to offer core swaps to minimize down time, I'm thinking about offering the following:

A) You can mail your domelight assembly to me. I will complete the retrofit and mail it back to you within 48 hours of receiving it.
B) You can pay for a brand new domelight assembly which I will retrofit and mail to you. The cost for this option I think will be ~$35 or so.

Since this is a technical forum, I'm a little hesitant to talk about pricing. But I do know a lot of you guys have been wondering about this, and rightfully so. I plan on offering a tiered group buy, giving each individual the option to select the exact color they want for the accent LEDs, and the separate color for the Main LEDs. I can say however that I will be able to keep the price for Stage 1 under $100!

I will do option A, but then again I don't DD the car.

EDIT: Might go option B if the whole process is not reversible. Are there any options if one of the LED goes? Can we remove it and go back to stock or is it modified permanently?

Option B for me. Mine is a DD and I would like the option to go back to stock if need be. Do you think you can closely match the red of the dials/cluster without being too overbearing?

Looking forward to this mod.

Hmmm... hadn't even thought about that... Might go option B too

I would love this!!!

But i just want it to only be white light don't need some fancy colours. can you make it so it only has door as the same as you have on setup?


keen for option B: and just white on white :D

Keep it around $75 and Im mad keen

because I'm old and my eyes decided, all on their own, to lower their performance last year....:iono:

In for a gb stage 2, orange option B.

I'm down for this! Put me on the list for option B, stage 2, and in deep red :)

Might be interested in this

Depends when my car finally comes in, but right now it'd have to be option B for me.

Please add me to the list for Option B, Stage 2, in orange.

@Andrew@Autolux where are you... We miss you :(

(Insert shut up and take my money joke).

Hah man I promise I'm trying to get to it. We moved into a fixer-upper house just last weekend. I've had to have the entire thing painted, new floors put in, counter tops, tiling, etc. It's been a beast.

I will have the production boards ordered on Monday of this next week, and the group buy started a couple of days after that! Give me just a few days here! :thumbup:

-Acree

You got it, thanks for even coming in and posting mini updates. I had your same situation in 2010! ( new house, new floors, new kitchen, new paint etc...)

I'll wait here patiently :happy0180:

:D I'm waiting too :D

I'd like to buy Stage 2 in Super Red! If there's a group buy I'll get in on that!

Added.

I would like to get in on the group buy

Am I on the list stage 2 option b white one white(want main light to be on door/auto).

Done


Added but regarding color options they will be discussed at a later time with Andrew :happy0180:

Add me to the list ;) this is a genius idea

Ill hop on the group buy for option B stage 2 in red

Done and done.

Oh are we doing this now?? Kk put me in for Stage 2, Option B, and for deep red!

If you can get orange, not amber, orange, I might be interested as well.

Edit: Just realized I posted pretty much the same thing early on in this thread. Consider this my name on the list, if orange is available.
