BUUUUUUMP

SV Concepts III · 12-27-2007, 12:25 PM

We are finalizing the design of the bulb and should have working samples very soon

Well, good news and bad news.

Good news is I have decided on a 13LED version in 6000K White, I already know the design of the bulb itself, and that's perfect. We tested some high powered 13LED, but the reality is is that the "LUX" type LEDs we use on Predator ICE are too narrow of a beam. While they are high powered, they don't fill the light housings properly, and therefore we are using some higher output wide-angle LEDs that will light the housing very nicely. Don't worry - they will look great.

Bad news? Nobody makes the socket adapter I need to make this bulb work seamlessly on your cars.

So, we have to invest $$$$$ to make a mold, which will work as a bulb socket, which will work on your OEM bulb carrier.

I am negotiating the price of the mold tonight, and then we will begin production. Hopefully they can pump out the mold and send me samples ASAP. Once they do that, I will get samples very quickly.

Thank you
JL

BlueLion · 12-28-2007, 06:10 PM

keep up the good work...and thanks for passing on the one that didnt work, in favor for a better option

TahoeOG · 12-29-2007, 12:12 AM

Sounds Good. Thanks for the effort you are putting into making this thing work out. Can't wait!

SV Concepts · 12-29-2007, 04:20 PM

Forgot to mention...
Unlike other bulb types where they are "generic" fitment across all cars, this is a very specific bulb. Unfortunately that means we are paying for 100% of the R&D to develop this bulb, since we want to be the first in the world to carry it.

We have decided to do this, and most important, we've decided to offer this bulb at the same price as the rest of our bulbs, instead of increasing the price to cover the R&D. Let's just say that in order to cover the price of the molds and the fedex shipments going back and forth with revisions, we hope to sell a minimum of 500-1000 sets of these bulbs.

Thanks!
JL

I will be available for testing if you are interested.

hov333 · 12-29-2007, 09:38 PM

wow good to hear jlevi! goodluck with the testing i cant wait to see the final product! so this will be better than a bulb in which way, just brighter? do we still have to worry about error codes/resistors?

SV Concepts III · 12-29-2007, 10:35 PM

It will offer the same advantage as all of our other LEDs- instant on/off effect, completely clear when off, OEM brightness, xenon white or amber when illuminated depending on what you choose.

These will not cause error codes as we provide the resistors to prevent the warning.

pdjafari · 12-30-2007, 02:06 AM

sounds good i'm def. in for this mod

SV Concepts · 12-30-2007, 03:58 PM

Awesome. Shelling out an arm and a leg for the molds tomorrow, signing the company on an exclusive

Neema · 12-31-2007, 04:32 PM

lovemyBimmer · 12-31-2007, 06:27 PM

hov333 · 01-01-2008, 12:58 PM

JL, could you possible integrate the resistors somehow so we dont have to cut/tap into any wiring?
