In case you guys wanted a set, but don't want to sacrifice a limb for the JDM ones. Out of stock though.

I have these and they basically suck. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Honestly, I only use it cause it gives a good look to the car. I agree that it sucks. Water leaks through the top. The 3M tape they used seems to wear out faster than others.

They are also loud and they swirled up like crazy.

How long did you have them? I got my Well visors on Amazon for $60, installed in April, and they look great, no noise that I can tell.

I don't have any issues with it being loud and can only see the swirls up close.

Should ceramic coat when you first get them to protect against swirls.

I've had them in for a few months. Maybe I'll pull them off and reinstall. They are quite noisy for me over 60mph, not so bad under that. I do a lot of 70-75+mph driving.

Finally found the time to install and hard wire my Radar mount w/ V1, VIOFO Duo A129 Dual Dash Cam, and iJDM Style LED fog light kit. Rather than tap power to the mirror/rain sensor instead used 40amp relay and direct connected to the battery/fuse box. I am still cleaning up the wiring and temporarily using the supplied on/off switch and installed it next to my existing 4 button panel. I though the empty space next to these button would be hollow but it's actually 1 single module for the entire button setup so can't drill or make a flush mount switch like I wanted to so will have to figure out a better solution and get a switch that is not 100x bigger than the OEM buttons or will go the route of the OEM fog light stalk instead.

The VIOFO dual dash system is sharp video and looks great at night since they are using the Sony Starvis sensor recording both at 1080p resolution with GPS and Wi-Fi. It's a great value for what you are getting and albeit not a true "parking mode" with buffer to capture before impact or motion it will capture activity upon motion/impact at the least. I will try this out and see how it goes and eventually upgrade to a better system but this can't be beat for what you are getting. Also for those curious the rear camera doesn't get in the way of the rear share either as shown by the photos.

In regards to the Fog Light kit, the output is solid and has really nice coverage with 6000k lumen which currently is a mismatch with the 4300k lumen OEM HIDs. I already have a set of new 6000k Philips Ultinon D4S that will be the next install to match the fogs including a new set of front turn signal 7443 amber switchback LEDs I will be converting as well. I attached photos of the fog kit and also some night shots to show them on/off and comparisons. These were taken with cell phone camera so doesn't give it justice but at least gives you an idea.

Next project in the coming weeks a SK front lip, chrome delete and paint correction...be tuned.

I know right? It looks very busy but is not as obtrusive as it appears.It's all tucked away in the tinted area strip and even "blacked out" my iPASS to match the rest of the hardware.
