No wiring at all, plug and play, although the trunk dome and rear dome festoons can be a little bit of a hassle to get them in and aligned.

Radial mounted 194's sold out, 10x faster than I expected. I have a ton more on the way due in early next week, Feel free to get yours and they will ship the second they arrive!

That is super odd, Mine is still going in my tC @ 2 years total testing & the ones on the bench for 2 months straight at 14V. Just a fluke which can happen, I have sold hundreds so far so I am bound to get a dud every now and again. Why not contact me via PM so I can resolve the situation rather that making a post that would cause people to steer away from my products.? Not very nice but still happy to take care of you and get you a new one. Already put you in the que for a new white #74

rather than steering me away, it brought me in. It shows that you care about your customers and when the the inevitable dud gets shipped out, you take care of it rather than saying "buy a new one from me."

I bought leds on ebay and i already had two of them strobe on me. Looking to replace all of them with your lights soon. I still need to send you my gauge to do an led swap.

AHHH...to many mods I want to do but not enough money.

This is what I am thinking

1 Blue 74 for cubby hole
2 Blue 194 for driving lights
2 Blue 194 for map lights
1 White 194 for dome light
2 Blue 3022 for rear dome
2 White 194 for license plate
(think thats all of them)

Single color change to blue gauge swap for gauge, hvac, and steering wheel control.

What would the damage be? (pm if you like)
What are your thoughts on the 194 radial vs 194 flat face?

The wicked flat faced leds with aluminum ring ROCK, they are super bright & reliable as it gets. However the radials look better in licence plates.

As for leds in the headlight housings, I do not warranty them if they are installed this way. Not a single led currently is designed to take that kind of heat long term and they will fail. Leds in all other areas are no issue at all!

I will pm a price on everything.

SATownScion

well i have an 08 tc and the new headlight design uses a projector and the driving light is in the high beam area. I have had some leds in there for about 2 months no problem. the ones that started to flake out on me were the ones in the license plate. One went out and then the other about a week later.

you can some what see it in this pic, the headlights are on the outside.

The red and blue lights in the grill would get you pulled over in 2 minutes if you lived around here.
Do you get away with driving while those are on?

SATownScion

Same over here, that's why I keep them off when I'm driving.

Gotcha, Only ones I would recommend to even try in the housings as they still heat up are the aluminum ringed versions. They should hold up, / I am doing testing on them to see if they hold up in my xD standard housings, but again I cannot warranty any leds in any headlamp housings.

SATownScion

Well, I guess I will be your test rat. My current ones have been in there for about 2 months (3,500 miles) and my headlights are always on.

Right on, Feel free to pm me which versions you are currently useing.

NOLA_tC

Do you use your high-beams much?
I thought the driving lights cut off when the high-beams went on, but I just went and looked at my tC and they do not.
I doubt the LEDs would handle the heat from the high-beams for very long...but I could be wrong.

SATownScion

I don't use the high beams other than flashing at people to get their attention. I dont have a need for them in the city. I installed HIDs with a relay and the low-beams stay on when the high-beams turn on, with a regular h4 bulb they will turn off.
As far as I know the driving lights stay on.

NOLA_tC

Ahh I see. If I were to guess, the LED bulbs are most vulnerable to overheating when they themself (LEDs are people) are actually running... which I guess is only a possibilty when the highs are on. I'm not too sure how much heat transfers over from the lows, considering they are in their own sealed compartment.

I want my LEDs!! Hopefully they'll be here tomorrow and I can install them before I go deliver some pizzas. :D

NOLA_tC

I just got the package in the mail.
Thanks, Garage.
I'm gonna go pop them in and I'll probably take a few pics tonight and post em up here.

^^ x2 just got the mail and there they were. Thank Garage, looking forward to putting them in, and i'll try to snap some night shots

SATownScion

This is torture, I want lights too. Stupid bills and their due dates.

NOLA_tC

Ok... I installed the lights and they look great, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get a good picture without the camera's flash... and then it ended up just looking like a normal picture.

I took this one without the flash and it came out pretty well.
The little gap in the housing is no longer there.
I had a little complication due to being in a rush, and a bulb/socket got pushed up in there, so I had to pull the whole housing out instead of just the clear cover.
It looks as it was before now. I'll probably update the pic later.




I wish I could get better pictures, sorry.
The lights are AWESOME.
I love the front dome/map lights.... they are BRIGHT & WHITE!!!!

Thanks, Garage!
