I like that shift selector one. My lights in the doors, steering wheel, and shift selector are out entirely and it's such a pain in the ***.

I think you should consider that. It will blend in perfectly with the dash and you won't really see them in the day without the lights on.

Yes and they aren't warrantied, they aren't half as bright as ours, and they blow in a month.

lol, mine have lasted over a year and a half, all of them. The ones in my door panels, the ones in my dome light, the mirrors, and cluster. Not a single one. They also light up my cluster almost too bright.

Edit: also my buddy has had them for just as long with no problems either. They do have a 1 yr warranty. Not to cool to just start spouting off statements that are incorrect and untrue.

wow I really like that blue in the gauges set-up.. looks really nice.


I did the interiors using the hyper white bulbs (Like TORCHED did).


I went with the white instead of blue cause it's actually quite a bit brighter in comparison, IMO.

Congratulations, I have heard many complaints about them and have had many customers switching because of those reasons.

Thats fine it won't happen again. I really think this isn't a good practice as it keeps members from maybe finding different/better products or maybe finding the same item for a cheaper price. Wether it be LEDs, to motor parts, to body items its a shame to keep members in the dark just because someone is a sponsor. Normally this site is way better than cz28.com but i guess in this instance its not.
