Selling these because I did not mean to purchase Blue and got a surprise when I first turned them on... (very glad i tested after installing just one) I ordered these in Fall 2024 from AliExpress and just installed one of them today while doing my Summer Wheel/Tire swap and learned they are not what I wanted. So one of these boards is brand new, the other has been installed and turned on for 1-minute... These are from the Madeti Store on Ali Express, typically around $50 when purchased new. There is thread about them in the Cosmetic Mods forum and everyone that has tried these has had good luck with them working well despite their low price.
These are the US-spec boards that have the orange side-marker light. They light up Blue as DRL's and Parking lights, and flash Orange for the turn signal.
Beware: Many cities reserve Blue lights for emergency vehicles and these could get you in trouble. This is why I am choosing not to keep them. Purchase and Use at your own risk.
These did not include thermal paste. If you are a PC builder you probably already have what you need. If not, I suggest the Arctic Silver bundle (includes thermal paste, and cleaner) from Amazon. This kit makes it easy to clean up the old paste and prep the board for new paste. Alternately you can use rubbing alcohol to clean up the old paste. Despite what some install videos show, you should use a very light coating of thermal paste, it is just there to make a good interface between the board and heatsink. If it goops out the side when you tighten the screws, you have put on too much which can actually inhibit heat transfer.
There are YouTube videos showing the install process, no instructions are included with the LED boards. It involves removing the front wheel well liners and a few extra bolts to get to the light assembly. If you have removed the front bumper, this is far easier.
PM me with questions.
