That's the only kinds I ship out with my puddle lights too. It's pretty hard to get them to show under the yellow street lights =(

Weird.
I know Wil.........and.................it's not as bad as it might look. Those white walls close to the car don't help any and while it's a slightly different hue..........they are actually blue. If I turned off the interiors(which are Vled blues of another type) you would see that they are really blue. Anyway....no worries...all is good!
I might change them to the whites anyway as those have a slight blue hue as you know.
Happy Holidays!

Wil,

Thought you'd be interested in this...........I changed out the SMT V-LED super bright blues you are using with 6 V-LED blues that I had left over from other little projects.

If the photos come out in order, then first pic is with my LED's(6's) and second is as you sent(SMT). You can see a difference in the hue. I might stay with my blues and I'm thinking of adding just a small reflector and sticking it in each side to bounce some of the light back, since mine are more forward firing.

And again I wanted to thank you because I've gotten a bunch of comments on these puddle lights and people really seem to like them very much.
I included one more shot even though it wasn't really dark yet as I thought it was one of the better ones.

I'll figure this damn camera out yet!

Yes, I know. Sorry to take up your thread, just thought you like to see the difference. I know yours are high intensity and for me it wasn't about seeing all that much, it was more of an effect thing.....so I needed the hue to be a slightly better match.

2 orders will be shipped tomorrow (Monday). The others will be shipped out on Tuesday. I ran out of shrink wrap to finish making the light housings so that is why there is a 1 day shipping delay.

Shipping on Monday:
1. Throwdown - red :: payment received
2. skwidd - blue/blue :: payment received


Thank you all for your continued interest and patience.

Dick, you should come down to my place when Leo does and we can have an install party. And of course make fun of Leo the whole time.

Install was easy....took me about 45 mins for one side (being extra careful not to break anything) and 35 mins for the other.
