    Re: UPS guy showed up!...LEDs

    those Rearward Headlights aren't worth 50 bucks. I'm happy someone finally got an LED on the market with built in resistors, but having a monopoly on that product is not a good thing for the price at all. It needs to come down dramatically.

    Re: UPS guy showed up!...LEDs

    I felt bad about spending 50 bucks on bulbs/LEDs but after installing them....... that bad feeling no longer exists! They look awesome and it dosen't throw a "bulb out" light at all!!!! Soon I'll have pics of my whole LED upgrade. Stay tuned.

    We all know that a true ricer would not spend $50, color would be blue, red or green and lights would be flashing .

    Not something I would do but if it makes you happy and you think it was worth the money more power to ya bro

    Re: UPS guy showed up!...LEDs

    I bought the LED plate lights from 42DD on my B6 S4. I believe they were $12 for a pair compared to $50 at ECS.

    I read before i bought them that the B6 had no "Light Out" on the DIS. What i found out was that if i kept the light dial on "off" and start the car i get no message. Its only when i keep the dial on the "Auto" position that the light out message is displayed.

    Whether or not the ECS bulbs display the light out does not concern me. The 42DD ones are great for a fraction of the price.

    But does the light out warning come on when you turn ur headlights on from the off position?

    Re: UPS guy showed up!...LEDs

    looks cool but 50bucks for the coppers to see your plates more clearly? LED for the tail or parking lights for 50bucks seems more worth it.

    Re: UPS guy showed up!...LEDs

    Yes, each to their own. However its Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from ricer! The pictures don't even do the bubls justice,they look awesome in person.IF I only had a camera that could take acurate pics, they look kinda blue ish on the pics,super white in person! As for all the cops seeing my plate clearly, its the law.At least I know I not getting pulled for something stupid like "they can't see my rear plate". The 50 bucks was hard to part with and I think they could come down in price a touch. Still, there is NO light out warning at all no matter what position my switch is in.They work flawlessly in my B6! Thinking back on all the dumb shit I've spent 50 bucks on before, even non car related stuff....... These for sure look good and were worth it! Its an S...your supposed to stand back and just throw money at it. LOL

    Re: UPS guy showed up!...LEDs

    Quick question for all of you guys that use the LED's who claim DIS bulb out warnings...

    When you start the car do you have the light knob in the off or auto position?

    I have had my car on both during start-up. I will usually get a bulb out when the lights are on auto, however, i noticed that i have never gotten a DIS warning when the lights are on off upon start-up...

    Might be something worth trying

    My lights are always off, never auto. Of course, the license plate bulbs have no power when the switch is off....so they can't cause a fault until they're turned on. When I had the led's, the DIS warning would come on when I turned the light switch to the on position......every time. Again, I'm a B7 so things might be different.

    I had it in the off and auto positions, I didn't have any DIS issues for a while, then they started to appear. I took the time to install the resistor, no issues since then
