As we said we appreciate the real feedback, we just feel when using these fogs/tails on the road you will notice a big difference vs the OEM which creates a better appearance and safer light output.

Thad49 - same here in our test car we saw a difference driving as we had one side regular one side our LEDs, you could tell every time which was which and what looked better - if we felt there was not a big enough difference we'd not sell them.

Thank you

I believe part of the problem is seeing the difference is difficult without a second car. One light can drown out the other making the difference seem trivial. I'm by no means staying the lights are bad; I prefer LED lighting over conventional. What's the lumen output for each of the rear bulbs and reverse lights you sell?

We stopped listing lumen ratings due to the rampant issue with inflated lumen numbers, we have had people purchase other LEDs and then emailed us saying "these are 1200 lumens and want something brighter, do you offer something that is higher than 1200 lumens" - we knew right away those are nowhere near their listed 1200 lumens and lets say our "400" lumen rated LED would be a lot brighter, since we have a no hassle return policy we suggested he purchase our lower lumen rated LED and try it out, ours were a lot brighter and the customer was happy.

We also feel the array of diodes and the actual housing it is being installed into matters a lot more than the lumen rating, while testing we have seen 600 lumen rating outshine 800+ lumens when placed in the housing due to the diode array and how it utilized the reflector housing.

If it’s helpful, we actually include a long torx attachment for the screwdriver handle in the vehicle’s tool kit. It’s there for this very reason.

In the trunk, under the load floor cover.

I thought about using that, but I already had my massive T25 screwdriver so I didn't bother. How's your SQ5 coming along?

Ah. I thought you bought it for this purpose.

My car is moving along nicely. I hope to have it ready in time for 034Motorsport’s Winterfest in January.

I did actually unless there's another use for such a specific tool. Are you going to create a post showing your SQ5 like with your Allroad?

I plan to. It'll be sometime in January after I come back from Europe (and Germany - yay, more toys!) for the holidays.
