The leds are covered with a clear/white plastic housing...it looks better than the V-LEDS (IMO) because the V's you can see all the leds...here is picture!

I'll try taking pictures of the bulbs in the housing in the day...

i just got it and intalled it in 15 mins. since no one posted a picture from inside, therefore i took a picture for you guys.

this picture was taken from the intake side of the car. there is alot of room for this little box. in the picture which i wrote the box is where the box goes, and so the lines and plus is at other side. anyway there is alot of room and i just wanna give you guys an idea of how to fit it in...
thanks for looking.

Great picture. One question, do you have factory HID's and if you do the placement of the box in your picture gives the AFS system to operate freelly?

Do you have a picture of your install? I also have factory HID's and will like to see were you put the modules so the AFS system work freely.

Look at the top of pg. 3. I don't have any pics and I am not taking all that apart again.

Plus IMO, it has a better color than the v's. Piaa's burn purple white in different angles and it all depends on the time of day...it can be seen when the sun is out too. Between 430-7pm...these lights look cherry! But like I said, it depends on what everyone likes...

picture was taken @ like 6ish...

well, good luck to everyone with this mod...I like it!

thanks for the pics...you should come to our starbucks meet i wanna see them bulbs in person looks nice.
