I can do orange! Production boards should be on their way soon. I have a couple of things to nail down, and I'll create the official group buy thread.

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.

Added and added.

Woooo put me down for stage 3 deep red

TweakLawl 03-26-2013 01:11 PM

Any chance we could get photo samples of the colors for this project? I already have red LED footwell lighting and would love for the domelight red to match the footwell as close as possible.

I will have some pictures of the red accent matching the stock interior lighting here very soon. I'm going to be sending a Stage 2 with Red accent to the guys over at Nameless.

@Sportsguy83

Go ahead and put me down for stage 2 in red (similar to BRZ gauge clusters if possible)

Acree 04-02-2013 12:45 AM

Website is finally started! Group Buy thread should be up by the end of the week!

-Andrew

Raz 04-05-2013 11:53 AM

Add me to the list as well! I still need to decide between Stage 1 and Stage 2 for the main LEDs, but I want the accent lights to match the red of the instrument cluster.

invzabomaster 04-06-2013 04:31 AM

I'm in as well

ph0en1xtk 04-06-2013 05:57 PM

I'm running behind at the moment. :mad0260: I wanted to have some professional pictures of the red accent lighting taken before I start the group buy simply because I believe it will be the most popular option. I'd like for people to see how well they match the stock illumination. Give me just a few more days. I'm working on it!

-Andrew

Toxic78 04-11-2013 03:41 PM

Thanks for the response. I wanted to make sure I didn't overlook the GB if it already started. I'll keep looking for it the day it starts. Thanks

Lverasky 04-11-2013 04:06 PM

xWiCkeDx 05-28-2013 12:03 AM

Just curious, what's the status on them?

TweakLawl 05-28-2013 11:28 AM

Would also love an update on this project :)

Can you add me to the GB for the Dome Light. Stage 2, Orange Accent. Would prefer the new assembly option.

Thanks
Chuck

cmspooner 06-02-2013 10:12 AM

I like this...could you do a dim white for the accent lighting and a stage 2 light for the center?

cagster 06-08-2013 04:36 PM

So what is the status on this?? Seems like nothing has been posted in weeks. It has been over a month since Andrew's last post. Is this going to happen?

TweakLawl 06-09-2013 02:49 PM

bumpity because i want this domelight!

maximumdose 06-21-2013 02:28 AM

Don't let me lose hope! Update??

TweakLawl 06-29-2013 10:15 AM

@Andrew@Autolux any updates on this?

j2digit 06-30-2013 01:40 PM

@Sportsguy83

count me in for the group buy stage 2.

thanks

btw, any updates?:search:

cagster 06-30-2013 10:23 PM

I think he has gone AWOL or he cant make the product. Over 2 months since the last post.

maximumdose 07-01-2013 02:11 AM

OP did not deliver... :(

cagster 07-01-2013 07:45 PM

Does the moderator/site owner have a way of contacting him to see if he is going to continue the thought of producing these?

Cheers

@Andrew@Autolux still posts...try PMing him.

Acree 07-08-2013 05:44 PM

I'm still posting on the forums here and there but have generally avoided this thread. I really hate the idea of disappointing a lot of you guys, but I've decided to not go through with this product. The simple fact is there has not been enough interest shown in this product to make it feasible for me to pursue production. The amount of tech built into the unit and the quality of components makes the price point simply too high for what the typical 86 owner is willing to pay. I've also decided to get my MBA, which will begin this August. It's a part time program in conjunction with my full time job. There's just not enough demand or time for me to develop all of the high-end niche market products I had in the pipeline for this platform. They will probably remain one-off projects for my personal vehicle.

With all of that being said, if there are any shops who want to pursue this design, please contact me via PM.

TweakLawl 07-08-2013 10:53 PM

Thanks for the update, a bit bummed that this wont be coming out, but best of luck to you in getting your MBA!

If it helps, a COB LED is just a one bulb solution but holy hell is it bright (but not too bright). This explains what they are pretty well if you're not familiar: http://www.cob-led.com/What-is-cob-L...-on-board.html

I originally had the smaller one in the cargo area of my '11 Outback, but it caused radio interference with the key so I couldn't lock the car while the light was on (since the housing is close in proximity to the antenna printed on the glass). It causes no interference at all in my BRZ. Best of all, it is dimmable so it turns off gradually as you'd expect it to.

Since replacing it with another and swapping it into my domelight (needed a .90 cent adapter), I've loved it in my BRZ. I'll probably be buying the bigger one, and I just need to secure it to the inside of the housing.

This page has a ton of options:

This is the one I'm currently using (which is more than enough)
http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/festoon/universal-high-power-led-kit--cob-led-27-pcb-w-festoon-base/1237/2887/

But of course, bigger is better and it's only $3 more.
