I guess theres no way for it to go full brightness without flashing. Im pretty sure its illegal for the flashing light over here. Looks nice though.

Weighed the back seats and spare tire, came out to around 43Kg(~95lbs) total... It caused my rear wheel wells to lift by 8mm, and around 2mm in the front, which I adjusted back on my coilovers.

Weight breakdown:
Rear Seat Large - 17.7Kg (~39.0lbs)
Rear Seat Small - 13.5Kg (~29.8lbs)
Spare Tire - 10.5Kg (~23.1lbs)
Other bits and bolts - ~1Kg

Noise increase was less then expected, more of a minor echo effect then anything else.
Rule of thumb is 10hp for every 100 lbs. So this 100 lbs is quite a little bit extra for our little cars.

Also, does it really flash and have 43 leds? Doesnt look like 43. I wonder if the cops here would have a problem with the flash.
I know here in Florida motorcycles have them as well as plus flashing or pulsating headlights. Here the law is (what I was told anyway) as long as the light is below headlight level and not flashing red/blue or amber/red/blue its fine. Not 100% how true that is but it kinda of makes scenes

Va state inspector chiming in, in va it's only legal for motorcycles to have a 3 pulsing than constant on brake light. But I'm sure it varies state to state.

Few months ago,
I actually see a Honda Civic that use this kind of led brake light.
It was day light on the freeway,
and this LED brake light were very bright and when they BLINK rapidly,
it is really attracting attention.
I mean, it looks good, but I am sure it might attract police officer to stop you...

Ill probably just look for one that doesnt flash at all. That one just looked tempting because it was really low cost and apparently good quality.

I knew that was going to be a problem. Is there an easier way to get them off? I got my koni coming soon and I'm trying to be prepared.

I sold my USDM Arm Rest because it was white Stitching and do NOT match the Red Stitching on my Hand Brake Lever Cover







3. JDM LED Ambient Lighting (Red Color)
unfortunately, this one have problem...
It only came as 2 LED module and Control Box,

I just email a complain to the store (Desir De Vive),
hopefully they understand my English...

Install My JDM LED Plasma Cluster Air Purifier Interior Light...

The main problem was, this kit came with just Operating Manual (In Japanese of course)
and NO Installation Manual at all !!!

It took me a while before I figure everything...

Hi Mr. Hollow,

Unfortunately, I don't know the color of the Modulo Center Garnish,
especially since it came only in 1 color, so I don't think Honda Access
every specify what color code it is.
It could be a one of a kind color... but if you need to copy that color,
you can always ask a body shop to color match it,...

May I know why you need that color?
Special Project
