Diode Dynamic's RGBW Boomerang Mod

So, I ordered Diode Dynamic's RGBW Boomerang Mod on cyber Monday. It has been 4 weeks, and still no firm update on shipping. I have called once a week during weeks two, three, and four. I have kept getting the same answer of back orders and saying that with the holiday season, it's going to be another two weeks to get it out.

I'm really wondering if anyone else has ordered the RGBW mod and what their experience has been. I've heard good things about Diode which is why I ordered from them, but six weeks is a bit much, even with a high-demand situation and around the holiday season.

I've read that they're slightly brighter than stock, but not by much. The only way they would get brighter is adding heat sinks behind the LEDs, and this mod isn't really about making them super bright. Sorry

Yep. Talked to DD about this... only 10% or so brighter than stock. Could modify with heatsinks... but just as cheap to do the DIY mod honestly.

I ordered their Always-On module for BRZ on black friday, there was no info about units not being in stock at all. My order has a 'backordered' status since then, ugh.

Same, bought the always on DRLs and Boomerang along with the RGB kit black friday and a whole interior lighting kit. An email would be nice about status updates. Looking forward to getting the package though

Our production team has been working extremely hard to fulfill all of the holiday orders we received. We've even hired several new production team members to speed up the process.

If you have any questions about your order, feel free to give us a call: (314) 205-3033

I apologize for the delays, but we appreciate your support.

We are proud to be manufacturing these unique items here in St. Louis
