    Hey Brad
    Hope you are doing well.
    I showed my nephew your light kit the other day and he loved it.
    Is there issues with this going under hoods other than Tacomas?
    I want to get one for him.
    Thanks
    DrF

    Had it installed on my 4Runner and will be installing it on my FJ when the new adhesive shows up. It'll work just fine

    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.
    The kits are intended to be universal for all vehicles. About the only one we've had issues with is the Jeep Wrangler......still working out design ideas on that.

    Glad to see questions answered on here before I can get to them. Im not sure how I managed to balance all this before, esp seeing as I had a GF then. This has been getting harder and harder to keep up with lately and If i turn my back for a few hours on TW, the inbox goes ka-BOOM!

    K so im going to be doing some remodeling to the first page, making a new group buy list, adding updated pictures, blah blah blah... because a new batch of kits will be in soon.

    Glad to see these repair kits are working well so far.

    Thanks for letting us know, Bill. I have nightmares wondering how I managed to send you an un-sealed package, causing the adhesive repair tape to fall out God-knows-where. That was like, a total tyler durden moment. Jeez.
    It's time for A.D. to start getting some better forms of management, more help, t shirts, an LLC, website, etc...

    Alright here we go.

    I'll check the repair tomorrow since I'm off. I suspect it will be fine. The new tape grabbed and hung on exponentially better than the last. :)

    As for the empty, unsealed envelope I received, the good news is that I can reuse it, since the seal is pristine. ;)

    did you guys take the old adhesive off before placing the new VHB tape? or just put it on top of it?

    You will want to remove as much of the old adhesive as possible. You won't get 100%, but do your best. Then wipe down the back/adhesive side with acetone or Brakleen. Then install the VHB.

    I have one Warm White PRO kit that is refurbished, sent back due to a failed adhesive, refurbished with the new VHB. If anyone would like it I'll take $10 off!

    Not "kits for the 2nd Gen," but rather a "2nd generation kit."
    This is the very first mention I've ever given of a tweak to the Hood Lighting Kits that I've been working on. It takes the original version Brad is selling and modifies it a little. If I can get my ass moving on them, I hope to have some available for testing at RT'15.
