Congrats!! Haha, you reminded me of a thing I saw once about license plates/spying. I totally forgot about it on the vid. Better safe than sorry for real.

There's a new video now w/o the plate lol.

rmodel65 - good idea! I forgot about the repros. Thanks!

andrewmp6 - thanks for the link man!

Nabster - they light up instantly at full bright. Thats another reason why i went with them. People behind me get the message immediately. Hahaha, yea look at that lol. Duhhhhhhh:D

true66gt - thanks hehe....Bob is my hero...seriously lol

BAY68_347 0 - right on man! still working after a year..thats good to hear.

rmodel65 - good points lol, blocking my plate only goes so far hehe

Carlos Pineiro - yes, I looked at those also. Chalk that one up to trial and error. They should have done more testing before selling that kit IMO.

andrewmp6 - too much heat and strain on the charging system, at least for most people with a stock alternator.


I'm glad the pics/vid helped some of you guys out. Now I'm goin out for a drive lol. Laters

Those are really great.....btw, did you know you can also upgrade the front turn signals and reverse light bulbs to leds? They are also much, much brighter!

Wow. Back-up light leds. That would be so cool; I usually just cross my fingers when I back up. Who has 'em?

They also have the front turn leds and gauge lights.....so far the only incan. bulb left in/on my car is the dome. (And, yes, the headlights are h.i.d.)

Mr. Bob

>>> +1 - Those latest super bright LEDs from Mustang project are the way to go. I recently made the upgrade and am happy as a clam! They are MUCH more conspicuous during the day. Easy safety upgrade.

>>> Someone asked if they sequentially blink when the brakes are applied, like at a stoplight,--- they DO sequentially blink with the brakes applied.

>>> Regarding the bass response in the kick panels - Many of us have the same problem - several things are working against the response including size of speaker, the wavelength of the lower frequency fundamentals escaping the car, the resulting comb-filtering and dispersion of much (not just low freq) of the audio spectrum and the carpet absorption of many of the frequencies... just to mention a few.

As for me, I purchased a replacement speaker for the dash (6 x 9 if I remember correctly) - dual voice coil, dual input, etc... and the bass response is surprisingly good - if you are looking to save a few bucks and improve your bass response you may wish to consider this relatively cheap upgrade.

BTW, did you know that Bob Marley is huge in parts of Europe still today? Universal and appealing message!

Hey Carlos, if you sign up with them to be in their "club" you get a discount on the parts as well. Just remembered doing that awhile back. If I can keep from having to funnel money into my car just to get it back on the road I'll have these lights hopefully by Christmas.
