Always wanted a good gas or battery powered rc car.. Those things are way too expensive for my taste though.
Gonna try 6-hi mod again tomorrow if I have any free time.

Didn't work at all lol. Worked just fine on that Tahoe the other day though so it should be nearly the same concept just different places for the relays but no...no cigar. I'm wondering if diodes are sensitive to heat..put some heat-shrink on them with a lighter but I wouldn't think that would hurt them.Capote said:
A lot of guys are off today, any modding going on??

Did you buy those LED tail light? No modding going on, just waiting on Cree boardsBlazingTrails said:A lot of guys are off today, any modding going on??

It's not worth it Brandon. They have LEDs that are in a ceiling fan shape that you could buy that would give the same look as those LED tails.
you're killing me bro lol
He said they were not working 100% so I thought I could get them cheap. maybe even fix them and re-sell them. who knows.

Ya know....every time I even breathe towards my mod bug I instantly think of the song "Voices" by DisturbedCapote said:
My mod bug is disappointed in me. All I've been able to do recently is just solder LEDs..Darkrider_LS said:
I think mine is still in a turkey coma after all the work the Blazer got this month and is unsure of the upgrade from Girlfriend 2.0 to Fiancee 1.0 OS...Capote said:
$90 bucks is not cheap for something that does not work. I would offer $50 shipping included.BlazingTrails said:
Your a master electrician, I am sure you can make them work.
Heres a pic of my half working Cree. I have to say it is still bright as $hit. I am slowly starting to regret this purchase.
No modding on the truck, but I did change the doorknob on my garage to match the new locks on my house I installed recently. But that wasn't enough as it only had a knob, so I got out the drill and hole saw and also put a deadbolt on the door. Didn't quite get the bolt perfectly centered on the door itself but it works!
One less key on the keychain!
.... Drilling new deadbolt holes in the door counts as modding, right?

I would think you should still be able to get your money back bro. especially after all the crap you have been through. And yeah the tails would be an easy fix, but I was thinking $40-50 myself. def not paying over 50% of retail for a damaged item.dmanns67 said:$90 bucks is not cheap for something that does not work.

Yes, I was just looking at rings a little while ago lolDarkrider_LS said:
Most likely. I am going to wait and see how the next Cree board works out and see how long they last. I have not had one issue out of the Cree I installed on the drivers side.BlazingTrails said:
Kevin can easily test the boards prior to sending them out by using a couple scrap pieces of wire and a 9v battery.
Go back to HIDs..... Lol j/k
Just seems like Crees have been nothing but a headache for you guys so far

For high beams I just prefer Halogens, I was still amazed last night driving back from Albany how bright the quad mod really is 
You can easily see 1/2 mile ahead almost like daylight, that's on my momma son

I'm looking forward to the quad mod, no more holding the stalk lol. It's insane how bright all my HIDs are together - x4 12K's [emoji41]
Yeah I have had mine for over a year and have not had any problems yet. some that i had before of a different brand in my galant didn't even last 2 months. kept getting replacement parts and got sick of it and ordered some different ones. smh
I am still running HIDs in the low beams. HIDs are pointless in the hi beams due to the warm up time in my opinion. Plus turning them on/off will lower their lifespan.Capote said:
You think 12ks are bright, you should upgrade to 4300k or 5000k. You would gain a few hundred lumen out of each HID.Capote said:
Here I was considering an experiment with the old headlight from the blazer once I get a replacement. And that is testing to see if I can even fit the Leds into the headlight assembly.
Naahhh I like my 12k's, I'll see better anyway once I do the mod. I do plan on getting fogs, projectors most likely, should make things even better. I have Kensun Brand HIDs, never had an issue with them. Just recently with my drivers side ballast, but that isn't of the same brand

x100. I thought my 6-8k's were bright until I got some 4300k's lol. Even then though they're cheap and closer to 5k. TRS has 9006 XB35 bulbs for about half list price in their closeout section... Anybody need new bulbs?
Sorry master

Looks like they only have them in 4300k

Indeed. If I had HIDs in the TB I would buy those, not a bad deal at all considering I pay $12 for cheap bulbs on Ebay. Those are their latest and greatest bulbs lol, supposed to be as bright as the name brand bulbs that cost $100+
I just don't see how there can be that big of a difference between these bulbs and the morimotos?

I have not had any problems with these yet.

Quality of parts used and construction. This at least applies to their D2S bulbs which go into projectors.BlazingTrails said:
yeah you can't really say they're not brighter unless you have tried them Capote 
Dave I am with you on quality, but I have 2 sets of these bulbs for less than one of the morimotos, and still haven't had one go out in well over a year.
are they supposed to last like 10 years or something?
