Just wanted to let everyone know that we installed the 2 front LED's in the footwells. We put in 2 red ones, because I have an RS1 and it goes really well with the interior. Took a while, but after taking apart the center console and wiring everything up, we got it all done. The center storage illumination box (also red) was also wired to the same switch, so that it also turns on with the LED switch. Looks very cool. The LED's are 10 times brighter than neons, and its a new company on the market: "Street Force Ultimate LEDs" We have a booth at SEMA right now, but unfortunately I picked up my RS1 too late to take it all the way out west to Vegas. But if you are at SEMA, come check us out! Street Force is also in the process of becoming the lighting sponsor for the next Fast and the Furious series movie. If anyone is interested for more information, let me know. I can give good deals to ScionLife members, and we have several colors available. I will also be posting pics of my install this week, and of the other Street Force LED show cars. :D

 

at $30 a bulb its too expensive for my taste

 

$30 per is too expensive?
Try $280 for the Scion light set that they offer. Try these being 30% brighter and 70% smaller. Try these lasting a lifetime, those lasting a few years. Try us getting sponsorship at several shows and movies. But hey, those are just the facts. I laugh because we make lights that are not only better, but cheaper and more user-friendly. I'll post pictures and show you that its worth the investment. For ScionLife members, we can give a 2-for-$50 deal, which saves you about, lets see, $230 from the Scion light kit?

 

they sell kits that have the same lighting effect and are only like 20 for three led's
or you can wire your own leds .. either way 30 is pretty expensive and 280 is outrageous.

 

yeah, cheap LEDs. These are quite bright, and these are actually market-level quality. We are on the market and like I said, we are gaining several sponsorship opportunities. We had a booth at HIN Boston and have one now at SEMA, so check us out if you're at SEMA this week!

 

i definitely want to see some pics. and as an aside as an RS owner, curious as to how which wire runs the power to my illuminated light box. I have CC mounted under my seats and dash but I don't know which wire I can tap for power.

I am probably going to upgrade everything over to the LED's and add LED's for my cargo area and under the hood when I have some more $$$ this summer.

Now, if only someone will hook this firefighter up with blue lights for her to run fire calls with it'd be all good. The LED's that the emergency lighting providers produce and carry are ridiculously expensive and of course blue is the most expensive color.

 

lets see. $50 for 2. $150 internal. then you have to figure how many to go external without blankspots. say 10 lights. thats $250 so $400 to do what I know can be done for half that. and thats if you dont need more than 10 external. Nobody in their right mind buys the dealer lights.

I'm not trashing your stuff. just saying that its too rich for my blood. sure if I owned a movie company with a budget in the millions I could afford them. I dont understand what your getting sponsorships (or is it giving?) has to do with the fact that I dont think spending that much on them isn't cost effective. Ranodes lights are extremly bright, and i dont need to squeeze them in a 2 inch space so size isnt an issue. As for how long they last I dont see that I will have reached 20k hours on bulbs anytime soon.

Please dont think i am putting your stuff down. I am sure they are great, and when "the next Fast and the Furious series movie" comes out I am sure you will sell more than you can handle to people who have to have them on their cars. and because they are getting the same stuff they had in th movie alot of them are going to be willing to pay for them. (on a side note someone,prolly APC, will also start making knockoffs and selling them cheaper.)

I'm happy that you feel nice enough to offer Scionlife members a discount and I think it's great you bought an xA(we get so ignored) you should see about becoming a scionlife sponsor too.

 

I know what you mean, sorry for over-reacting.

However, they really arent as expensive as you put. It doesn not cost $150 internal. It is quite easy to wire it yourself with the instructions provided. The only hard part was taking apart the console, because being our first xA, we didn't want to do anything wrong. But the console in our xA's come apart easily. It will probably cost you an additional $30 at most if you are not willing to do it yourself. True, there are some stuff that are cheaper. But cheaper isnt better, especially since ours are brighter and longer lasting than all of them. Anyways, it doesn't matter, I'm just trying to advertise our stuff to you guys, so whatever.

If anyone IS interested, please let me know. I don't want to hear the reverse, just tell me if you're interested.

Pics coming this week.

 

I got $150 from
Front driver/passenger $50
Driver/Passenger seat $50
storage box/cargo area $50 depending, i might want two in the cargo area depending on how it looks/shadows/ect...
Total $150

I figure 10-12 undercar
center front/center rear (move to corners and add 2 for remaining corners if glow isnt right)
all wheel wells
2 each side

now I think your lights are going to be alot more flexible for undercar due to the fact that I can squeeze them in places a neon wont go. however again price makes a huge factor.

I need to finish my lighting anyways. I got stuff i havent added

 

yeah, true, but we haven't really perfected the exterior lighting yet. our lights now are more for interior, although they can be used outside if you really wanted. we are currently making exterior lights that should be done in a few months. you only will need 2-4 lights to light up the interior, these are very bright. let me know if interested.

 

Yo zdawg, land that 747 long enough to take some pictures. I am trying to decide if I want red or yellow lights in the car. I need some pics!

 

word, i will this week no worries, the weather is terrible here, let me get some pictures tonight and ill post tomorrow.

 

this post is worthless without pictures :D :D :D :D :D sorry i want to see, because i am also planning to do it red
