Okay, thanks again for shipping the slim ones. I completely understand how the mishap happened. Ijdmtoy definitely has good customer service if you just talk to them and let them know the situation. I'm looking forward to getting these installed!

Also, the body of the LED broke off while I installing it, hot glue and re-soldered it back together. Then... the light still had a slight flicker...WTF!! I had to basically rebuild this freaking kit.

So I went up to Radio Shack and got 2 new capacitors, solder those back in, and now no more flicker....

THEN... I find out that the decoder is too big to tuck inside the headlight housing, so I stripped it down to fit in there....

OVERALL experience with this LED kit, and the company... TERRIBLE!!!

NO CONTACT BY PHONE, VERY SLOW EMAIL CONTACT, NO RESOLUTION, NEVER AGAIN!!!

I tried contacting you plenty of times dude... there is no phone number to call for assistance and you hardly email back...
Did you get the actual slim decoders? Mine got shipped with the regular ones even though the receipt said slim on them. They're sending me the slim ones though.

If you guys purchase it via our website, it will be shipped with the regular decoders. We haven't actually listed the new slim decoders yet because they are not to replace what we have now.

The slim decoders are only available via me over PM's or via email. Please contact me first before ordering if you want the slim decoders.

This is what I did... you have to make sure the red line from the car matches the red line on the decoder. Even if the clip does not look right.

If that is correct, you may have blown a fuse...

The location of the fuse is in the the engine bay fuse box on the drivers side. Look in the box and look thru all your blue 15 amp micro fuses. One of those are probably popped. I can't remember specifically which one it was so just go thru them one by one...

I didn't get a refund but got a resolution insead..... it works for me

Hope that helps

yea, exactly the same thing I ran into. Make sure that the capacitor didn't start smoking and leaking fluid. Just a heads up.
