The listing itself says 06-09, and that is the one i purchased and it works great. They are amazing compared to some other ones I tried out. The main issue I ran into with other brands was the footwell lighting always looked odd and did not cover the entire footwell, deautokey's covers the entire footwell nicely and there is no color variation I guess you would call it, that I seen with other leds i installed in my footwell.
Their customer service is great, my footwell died on me but I think it was my fault as I pushed it in soo far that it caused a short, but they sent me a new one right away. And close to a year later no issues and still looks amazing, great people.
I would stay away from the first link, those leds in the glass with the round bulb look to them do not work or look good, plus it is a 9pc set, that was my first set i purchased before i knew all leds are different.
the $24.99 set you posted from ebay looks similar to some of the ones i got from deautokey but they do not include the license plate leds like deautokeys, i suggest if you go with that one, you purchase the license plates too, it really ties the car together.
Not sure, to me the extra $40 i spent with deautokey never bothered me, i knew the quality i was getting with them since so many people post pictures of their leds and they always look niiiice.
Because ECS buys them on eBay and marks them up.
OK that wasn't fair, but people aren't generally happy with the Ziza product line.
I paid something like $50 for the full interior + license plates set from deautokey.com and I've been very happy with them. Whenever i unlock my car at night someone asks me where i got them.
They were running a special at the time but they are still cheaper than ECS.
Since i was an early adopter i had a strange issue where the front domes (only front domes) failed - popped right off their bases. Like the solder melted. They sent me replacements that have been trouble-free. They even replaced both of my license plate LEDs when one of them failed after i got rear-ended.
I don't really condone their marketing practices or the tone of their advertisements, I think they're annoying as fuck frankly, but the product works and the customer service is hassle-free.
The major points of quality in white LEDs are how pure the white light is (e.g. whether there is a lot of blue showing through) and whether the resistors are the correct value to make CANbus happy.
I Can tell you that the white i get from the deautokey kit is very pure white with no hint of blue, and i have had no "bulb out" codes nor have i ever had that issue where all of them glow slightly unless i replace one of them with an incandescent. They work just like incandescents, just way the hell brighter.
ya, I think they are a bit excessive with ads but all companies really are now a days, a lot of competition. I almost went with ziza leds until i saw deautokey's vortex post and then great feedback. I figured for less money than ecstuning i could not say no.. their damn advertisements also got me to purchase their cree led reverse:
