**NEW** RGB (Color Changing) MAP Light LED Pods
 
Done

I might be interested in one of these for the multi color options.

Just one question, are you able to get the OEM lens covers? I think from a time leaving my current LED's on a little too long, the heat built up and melted some of the covers so there's a nice 'melt spot'.

I don't I'm afraid. Check on ebay. I believe these are the same on a few cars. I know my wife's Rogue has the same MAP lights as the Z.


Here is a vid in a newer Camaro. The lights are exactly the same. They only use 1 of these unlike the Z which uses 2.

Alrighty, I'll check in to some sources and see if I can get myself a new set. I'll be putting in my order soon. Would you want some install/demo shots for the thread?

JWMotoring 08-14-2012 05:49 PM

Oh yeah I could always use those. I do appreciate it.

XwChriswX 08-14-2012 05:51 PM

I'm liking these because right now I have Blue LED's in, cause I like the blue, and it gets complimented a lot. But my car's theme is Black/Red (don't ask :icon17: ) And sometimes I just wanna be able to have White light when I need to read something lol.

JWMotoring 08-14-2012 06:16 PM

Yeah I've heard that a few times from my Camaro customers who are making the switch.

The white is def. the brightest of all colors based on my testing.

XwChriswX 08-14-2012 06:22 PM

Do they just rest in the spot, or do they have 3M tape on the back to adhere?

JWMotoring 08-14-2012 06:56 PM

They have 3M tape. I would suggest using some additional adhesive as well. The tape can be a bit picky.

I used epoxy and it's not moving. Silicone should work and easy to remove if need be.

JWMotoring 08-14-2012 06:59 PM

3M makes an adhesion promoter that should help as well.

XwChriswX 08-28-2012 08:54 AM

Just submitted my order for these, plus rear trunk light (white), and Tag lights (white) Just went to check on them and one of the tag lights will not make a solid connection to stay lit, so time for new bulbs. :tup:

Looking forward to getting these installed.

XwChriswX 09-04-2012 11:21 PM

The light kit showed up today, I'll be doing the install tomorrow and will take some pics/vids for you guys. :tup:

The install on these is EXTREMELY simple. The only tools required are a very thin tipped Flathead screwdriver, and your hands.

Installation DIY:
  1. Use the screwdriver to pry out one corner of the cover plate, then pull it off the other 3 posts.
  2. Remove old bulb.
  3. Insert plug for new LEDs (Do a quick On/Off test to make sure they work)
    **If they do not come on, simply unplug, flip plug, replug and do it again. These are polarity specific.
  4. Do quick cycle check of all features to confirm everything works.
  5. Peel off 3M adhesive cover paper, Press to inside of cavity for 30 seconds with decent pressure.
  6. Tuck wires.
  7. Replace Cover plates.
  8. Enjoy. :tup:

I can tell you I previously had a 12 LED chip in there, and with now only having the 6 LED pod, it is WAY brighter. :tup: 9 of these LED's would just be ridiculous. :bowrofl:

Romulus1 09-05-2012 10:14 PM

You suck Bill.I wanted to order them last night. I hope they are back in stock soon.

NickD 09-06-2012 05:59 AM

Is there an option to add on another RGB for the roadster light like there is for the regular pods?

Yep we sold out before you ordered unfortunately. I will email you.

It's going to be 1.5 weeks before we have more in stock.

The bulb type is the same. Not sure where you would mount it though.

Romulus1 09-06-2012 10:21 AM

replied to your email! Happily and patiently waiting for them to be back in stock! :tup:

If it's small enough i can fit it in between the housing and cover.

Can you email me when they are in stock so i can order before they are out again? Or do a pre-order? lol

Looks like these will arrive Monday.

I'm going to test all them so it will probably be a day before they ship.

I have plenty coming this time. See above ^^

XwChriswX 09-18-2012 10:27 PM

Great LEDs, super easy install, tons of color varieties. The Tag LEDs were super bright as well. Thanks a lot guys! Super-fast shipping. :tup:

NickD 09-19-2012 09:56 AM

Any idea when we can order again? Site still says out of stock.

JWMotoring 09-19-2012 01:02 PM

It should be fixed here in a few minutes

NickD 09-19-2012 02:42 PM

Just ordered mine!

P.S. something went screwy with the order form the first time and it made me resubmit it. I only paid once but there may be an additional invoice which is invalid.

UruZai 09-26-2012 05:16 PM

I noticed that your site says out of stock, do you know when you guys will get some more?

NickD 10-05-2012 09:57 AM

So i just got a replacement since the first set had 1 bad pod. I have to say these things are a frigging nightmare. I plugged in the new one and while this one does turn on they are both so inconsistent. The modes are not in sync so if you set them to change colors they do it at different speeds (yes I set the speeds on both the same). Sometimes only 1 light comes on with the door and then it resets so you have to go turn it on with the remote and set the brightness and color again.

What's the deal with these? Anyone else having issues or am i just getting bad batches?

JWMotoring 10-05-2012 01:43 PM

Remove and toss both back in the package with the return label. We're done with these.

You can contact me direct with further.
