No, I don't. Sorry. I do have bi-color and tri-colored ones.

Any chance of making some with white...i know it would be pricier since you would have to get white CCFL's, would it be possible if there was the demand because these look much better than the LED ones, or are you just trying to get rid of the lights you already have?

Is there a better picture of the reflectors mounted on the bumper (from inside)? The 06+ reflectors are definitely thicker on the sides to allow a place for light to shine through.

Don't really have time to do that anytime soon. Such a pain to get the bumper off. If you have an 06+, you'll see easily where you can mount the CCFL to once you look inside.

Yea, just trying to get rid of what I have. Already selling them below cost. If you want white, just look up "white ccfl" on eBay.

If anyone here's good with cameras, let me know how I can set my Canon G6 to get better pics of the lights. The pics don't do them justice.

I changed my bulbs to 12000k, but they aren't on in the pics. Because of my poor camera skills, the halo looks like it's my headlights.

If you can get pictures of installation, especially where the wires go, I'd love to buy this mod. GREAT idea!

Voodoo,

Can you give some specs for the start up and running voltages as well as how many milli-amps these CCFL lamps you are offering draw?
Do you use an inverter to power these?

Thx

The CCFLs are powered by inverters (included), draw about 100mA per tube (up to two), and run on 12-14V.

How about this?
5 people minimum for 5% off.
Then an additional 1% off for each additional person.
Maximum of 25% off.

Here's the list:
1.Nate Dog
2.
3.
4.
5.

I will collect payment by PayPal when there is 25 or more people, or September 16th (my b-day ). Whichever comes first. If you prefer to get yours sooner, you can go ahead and pay the discounted price according to how many people are on the list. PM me for my paypal address.[/QUOTE]
