    I managed to make 3 more BASIC Kits and we are working on more PRO Kit's right now. Should be getting enough LED's to make 125 kits soon, that'll be an interesting pic. Also I'm in the process of re-doing my room and making a section where I'll devote a work area for this business. When that happens remodeling will slow my distribution rate down just a tad but it will go much more quickly after that.

    Like I mentioned before, I will only have enough warm white to take care of the first 19 orders. After that the only option will be my "natural white" which should just be called cool white because that's exactly what it looks like, lol. It took me a little while to get the damn white I wanted but this is very good and i'm satisfied with it.


    Here's a couple recent pic's. One is of 3 basic kits I have ready now (PM's inbound soon), and the other is what this new white looks like.

    I still need to take a picture of a PRO Kit and BASIC Kit side by side to give people an idea of what the difference is between the two, but you can also get an idea of that just by looking at the installation video. Note that the new switch location in the PRO kit installation video can be used for BASIC Kits as well.

    Cleaned up and updated the first page. I also changed the warranty to 3 years for the PRO Kits (since that's the longest we've actually had them running now) and changed it to a "limited" warranty which covers the LED's themselves.
    Just to reiterate:
    In the event of a problem, any whatsoever, just let me know and we will work it out. I will treat you like my own friend. :)

    Ok so just finished installing my kit. Works perfectly. Found a spot on my 1st gen where I didn't have to drill any holes. One suggestion I will make to you brad is for future kits please give them at least 4-6 pieces of that double stick tape stuff. It was really hard to peel it off that plastic and I ended up tearing one if my tape pieces (not all of us are good at peeling tape apparently lol)Where can I get some more of that tape? Other than that flawless install. Will have pics in a second.

    Rats. Im sorry that didn't work out for you! I only had some plastic sheets laying around to put the strips onto but other than that I couldn't think of what to stick the tape to that would easily come off. I'll fix that. Real sorry that was a pain, I tested it before sending it and it seemed to come off pretty easily but I guess it must've settled.
    You can get more at auto zone, home depot, and most electronics stores. I ordered mine off of ebay. That tape is 10mm in width, for your reference...


    :rofl: that, made me laugh. But you're wrong! That's a dryer! and directly to the left of it is a washer….annnd about 4 feet away from that is the secondary fridge with beer. Haha great minds drink alike :D

    Lol your excitement gives me motivation to make more! I've been running low on pun material for each of my little personal messages, haha. They're getting pretty corny.





    P.S. This whole page is making me laugh, lol.

    It's no problem and IMO it's a minor detail. Thanks for the quick reply. It's fine for now I will probably get more of that tape by the end of the week. Glad you came up with a fix for it already.

    Lol I dream of the day when I will have my own little garage/shop w/ a fridge.

    Edit: waiting for the darkness so I can take better pics of my anti dark kit in action. I'll post what I got so far.

    Simple solution: Android

    ITunes 11 is the reason I sold every I-device my wife and I owned. Android can be plugged into anything without needing a program.

    Edit: sorry for off topic thread jacking.

    iDevices are a personal preference. Not trying to get all Apple zombie on y'all. I tried moving away to Windows Phone 8: MASSIVE mistake. Maybe if I had taken the Android route, I would have been happier.

    It's all good. I'm pleased to be back on a device that doesn't suck big straw. And the pics are uploaded, now to arrange a big post!

    Here we go!

    Checked my mail this afternoon to see that Santa had stopped by 7 months early!!
    [​IMG]

    Brad sets you up rather nicely. I had other plans, though... :drevil:
    [​IMG]

    Didn't even need my fish wire.
    [​IMG]

    Decided to put my switch between the hood bumper and an adjacent hole. Doped the switch with paint to see where it contacted the hood.
    [​IMG]

    Gotta stay hydrated!
    [​IMG]

    I know... My hood needs a good cleaning. :pout:
    [​IMG]

    A cheap tool that is wonderful when pulling wire on a vehicle!
    [​IMG]

    Just twist and tape, right? :rolleyes:
    [​IMG]

    Staggered, to better fit in loom.
    [​IMG]

    Well, all the wires are connected correctly!
    [​IMG]

    Finished product: Light side
    [​IMG]

    I'm a little weird about putting star washers on MY paint, vs. emergency vehicles I've built. So I brought my own ground to the party via lamp cord, and used the second conductor as the switched wire.
    [​IMG]

    Preexisting aux power box. Just tapped in and used my new official Anti-Dark 1 Amp fuse!
    [​IMG]

    Since my Aux power is on the passenger side, I ran the wire to the passenger hinge area, and hitched a ride on the windshield washer tubing.
    [​IMG]

    Aww Yeah!! :yay:
    [​IMG]

    Most pleased with the product! Now to figure out where to put my nifty new decal!
