Nice! Are you going to retro them or just leave them the way they are?

I'll probably bring leave them untouched this time b/c it's for the repair at the shop.


Yes please let me know how the fitment is. That is my main concern.
For sure man. :boink: Hopefully these don't have any condensation problems, too.


Ooh I look forward to your report. :)
Plz do. ;) We'll see how bright the led tubes will be w/ my LED 168s I use for my interior lights.

^ Looks good to me. Good to see it's emitting bright enough.

Not so sure if it's just me, but looking at it carefully, there could be 2 hotspots, one by the edge and the other one by the curve. Idk, maybe its the pic, but that would be cool if there're multiple sections in there.


I see. Wondered why he deleted the LED part b/c that's the best part lol.

...singalong bulbs. PROOFREAD YOUR SHIT

Richard I'd open them and test them out, there are a few different vendors selling these...yours might take them back if they are DOA. I can't see a seller not taking responsibility for a defective product, but even still it should be covered by Ebay's guarantee.

Everybody... One, two, three..., "Signal bulbs~♪♪♪" :chewie:

Thanks for the advice, Chris. I still feel like I shouldn't be opening them up, but I'll let the shop know about it beforehand, if I ever open it. Well, there was actually a protection plan, as an option for $15+ for stuff like DOA I guess, but I thought I didn't need it... Oops.

Got my set today. So I can't speak for longevity obviously, but these LED tubes are actually pretty bright. Much brighter than I thought they'd be anyway. The color temperature looks more yellow and blue in these photos than what it is, it's actually a pure white.

This pic was taken just now, dark outside and no lights on in my garage.
