But you could never see them flicker anyway.
So now you're selling V4? and does the flicker happen when you start the car with the headlights in 0 position? I dont leave mine in Auto... I always have it totally off and turn on the headlights when I want them.

In this case you WILL see the strobing of the LED rods only for the first 3-5 secs on start-up and then that's it. However I'm guessing that since it will be day time when you have your switch in OFF position you will hardly notice the strobing. The LED turns will not strobe at all because of the circuit added. If you are willing to pay extra I could very easily add the StrobeFree circuit to the LED rods too, but the entire job will be a custom one only for you.

Earlier on this thread it talks about people buying them from Roveractive for $599 on EBAY. On the auction it says that it comes with the cable to retrofit it to a 04-07? I'm guessing there is a problems with those cables? or Bruce - are those your cables included in the acution?

Sorry if that's a stupid question, I'm just trying to get an idea of all the costs. thanks in advance.

RoverActive doesnt actually provide any cables. What they do is infact provide my wiring diagram from my V1 version of this cable and then let you get on with things. That would mean you would have to open up your current plug and slice a couple of wires etc and then somehow get them into the lights and make them stay there. Even then you will not get the LCI look. My cables are plug and play and you get the LCI look too.

If you buy the cables from me then RoverActive will give you the lights for $499 instead.

Bruce,

Is BFD displayed correctly in V4?
