Cool~ just keeping your options open.. I too was using festoon before... but the more I looked at it.. the more it starts to tick me off... LOL!


Also...

is that a color mis-match?! the right side seem to be cool white while the left is neutral white...

 

i noticed that too when i installed it....they are both cool white. i do have some extra though... i might switch the left to another one n hope its better

 

do it! before it drives me nuts...

 

haha okay tonight. and then i'll update the photo

 

i think i saw ur car a few days ago too... driving around in rowland heights.. not sure if it was you though.. didnt pay too much attention...

 

haha really? i've seen like...2? other SW's in my area...ever

but mine is the only one with a relocated license plate, rear visor, and roll call stickers on the hatch window

all others i've seen are stock

 

Yea.. Most I've seen on the road are stock... the only reason I turned my head is cuz I had a short glimpsed at the badge and its black..

I saw a RS7 in Alhambra the other day... that yellow didn't look as good as I'd hoped... LOL

 

haha maybe it was me? i keep forgetting my badges are black cuz i still have to redo them

i haven't see the RS7 in person...but its the same color as the yellow FJcruiser and i've seen a bunch of those...so i just think of that only smaller

 

yea.. i figured that's you since black out badge isn't something people would think of doing.. hahah!

I like the black rims on the RS7 and the push to start function... but other than that... not much of a fan... at first the yellow looked nice.. but the more I look at it.. the more I get the image of a taxi in my mind...

 

 

okay fixed it...but with all the LED switching i kind of lost track which one was which...so i think i got the two that match...

 

much better than before

is it me or its that the right side is still a bit more blueish?

 

i kinda of thought the same thing....

but here is the thing...i swapped out both sides and switched them around multiple times with multiple LEDs

 

No not really. The power output of each socket should be the same.

The only way to find out is to mark down which is which and go through a trial-and-error process...

Color matching of the white LEDs is a tricky thing... I too had the same problem.. ended up going with everything from one supplier in order to get it matched up...

 

that's what i thought...and all of the LEDs are from the same supplier

i will go double check n figure out which is which...i just know i kept switching them until i got the best match

since the left is what i wanted to change then i would put a new one there first after a while i decided to go back between the two previous ones on the right...

so most likely that the right side which is "slightly blue still" was originally the one the left of the first pictures i took...

...weird

 

shall I tempt you with LED panels? LOL

 

hahah i was actually leaning toward them.....

but i think i'll leave it for now and look into it again after i finish the complete dash swap

...u kno, in case i have to order more things. haha

 

wanna do my dash for me? LOL

 

LOL...the reason why i keep putting it off is because it will be my first time doing an LED dash swap! i asked jtk2 what i need, which he graciously provided the info....
but other than that....i'm a virgin at this

i'm also so-so on soldering hahaha....which is why i feel like i might have to buy more things after my first attempt

 

I was only kidding.. hahaha~

I think I'm gonna do the HVAC LEDs next...
