I'll take the kit. I solder all the time so I'm cool with that if you send instructions.

I wonder now if I have a switch , or if they are just burnt out.

If they are burnt out, is that common since our cars are pretty old now?

If there is a switch ... where is the common place to install it (where should I look?)

Down by your drivers side headlights just below them with the clam shell up there is a two part spade fuse holder that fuses the two hood lights. Most owners pull the fuse and put the two parts back together so they can leave the hood up for a couple days. Check that, you probably don't have a 10 amp fuse in there. When you put a fuse in and open the hood the lights come on.

here is a photo looking at drivers side under the hood ahead of the tire. The small red arrow points to the fuse holder for the existing lights.

Lance P. How do I know this? I asked the same question you did and found many just pull the fuse and use garage lights so they don't wear their batteries out...my p.o. had done that and I have a fuse in the glove box for it but know they work just don't use them. The LED's look really interesting though.

This "one time buy" will close on 02-13-2013 at 06:27 AM
This is so that I can do the buying of parts.

Payment will be paypal. If you have a credit card you can use
paypal even if you don't have an account just like paying for membership this year.

What I need in a PM from each person ordering the assembly (or kit) is this:
1. private email from you personally (so I can forward an invoice from paypal to you)

2. The number and type of your order (assembly or kit)
Example "3 competed assemblies at 3x $50"
There is no shipping or handling charge.

3. Your delivery address. (Canada and US only ,other locations can be negotiated)

What you will get with the assembly(s) is a postage paid box containing your order and instructions for installation. (a link to the instructions on TechNet ) 30day free repair for any unit but you pay shipping.

What you get with the kit (along with my sympathy) is a postage paid box and all parts needed to assemble the unit(s) except the hermetical sealing agent that both insulates the unit from moisture but also isolates from potential shorting (you will need to use black tape over the mercury switch. Each part of every kit will be tested for correct operation before shipping. Since improper assembly and damage during testing is possible I can not replace them free. Replacements can be purchased but you will need to pay for shipping.

It is important NOT to look directly into the LEDs when on. I cannot be responsible for any eye damage. These are BRIGHT!

What I will do on or after Feb 13 is:
1. process any orders and send out email with the paypal info.
(sorry you cannot prepay because I need to confirm that I can buy all the needed parts first)
2. Send out the boxes after each paypal invoice is filled.
3. Post the completed Assembly Instructions on the ZR-1netregistry.com under TechNet.

Questions? Anything I left out?
Please get the word out to anyone that you think may want some of these.
This poll and orders end on Feb 13th.

PMed you Scott for a completed pair.

[LancePearson]

Just out of curiosity how are these better than the six led lights you can buy on Ebay for each bayonet bulb for $15 a pair? Different current draw? these are advertised as drop in replacements with 5,000 kelvin color white lights and fairly bright. The guy sells lots of leds for interior applications as well. On ebay. I may try a set just to see how they work as they are pretty inexpensive. I have led's under my kitchen counters at home and love them.

What's the difference?
