the reason I am asking is because that would determine when I would get the module.

And looking forward to a video on it as well

They will be $60 normal retail price, I don't believe we will be running a group buy for them.

U.S. forum members can send us a PM for the free-shipping code once the module is available on the site.

Like Paul said previously, we will have plenty! So no need to worry about them going out of stock

So excited! Thanks Diode Dynamics!

We always charge a fair price for our products, even the unique ones that we design from the ground up and manufacture in-house

Nice. I am eagerly looking forward to this.

Any love for the Canadian members here? I want one for sure!

Since we just have to keep teasing you guys...

Here's the design for the PCB we are waiting on. This is what controls the whole thing. Soon as these boards arrive we'll get them assembled and start shipping! We've had everything else for quite a while now.

(note dual function switches and trimpot for adjustable DRL brightness

)

Nice! Is that for the brightness of the normal DRLs, the boomerangs, or both together? I'd love to be able to make the boomerangs a brighter (the DRL's are bright enough).

Diode Dynamics · 01-15-2015, 09:17 PM

We can't make anything brighter, as running things at high power than they're intended would be bad for the factory LED component. We've designed this module to be completely safe and protected from the factory electrical system. Also, you'd need to open the headlight and replace the LEDs to make things brighter. This is much more simple than that.

This module has two functions. Both are switched so you can do one or the other or both, whatever you'd like.

1. Allows you turn the boomerang into a DRL.

2. Allows you to keep the DRL on with the headlights. They will still be full brightness with normal DRL, but you can adjust the brightness of them when they are on with headlights, from 10-100% brightness.

Basically, with the PWM dimmer function, you can make it so the DRLs dim when you turn on the headlights, like many OEM DRL setups. You can keep it at full brightness if you'd like too.

I'm guessing the yellow screw thing is the potentiometer for the PWM function?

can i buy them yet?

Not sure if this was answered previously, couldn't find it via search.
Where would this module be installed?

Think it was a page or two ago. Its a plug and play module that goes under the hood, as I recall.

Ah found it. Thanks!

Now we are only about a week or two out for the shipment of connectors and components to arrive, and we will start shipping them! When I have a confirmed date I'll post up the video and offer them for sale. I just don't want to take any money until I know when we will be shipping.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

Just a quick update,

I've painstakingly rifled through the entire thread so we will have an initial estimate on the number of modules to assemble so everyone can have it shipped quickly.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's patience, and of course @Lithium for conceiving this great idea!
