    I’ve installed these about two months ago. Quite happy with them. The only thing to watch out for is.... the light strips are wrapped with tin foil. So when you try to slip them into the cracks, they have a tendency to kind of rip of a little bit. This creates dark spots on the light strips. So be careful when putting them in. Other than that, I’m pretty happy with them. And I installed them on my w204 C350 coupe.

    Any news on the old spoiler winner? I've finished a few mods to my car thanks to you including side view sequential blinkers, puddle light logos, light up front star, and soon the rear sequential light bar. My new front splitter and gt style black grill are otw. Still need a spoiler though. But I'm thinking an acrylic espresso bronze/brown with black accents. I have "lunar blue" rn which shows every micro scratch.

      Just put some electrical tape over it and tuck it away. If you unplug, the car might detect an error and have a stored fault in the ecu.

    Hello Flexx. I am installing a newer generation of the same product into my car. In your video you show that the door ambient light module is connected to the red/white cable (I made a measurement and it is the permanent Plus connection to the battery). Is it safe to do this, will it not drain my battery?
