I'm really keen on this, has anyone done this mod?

Quote:

...The light functions as tail light i.e. on when the headlights are on but can also be wired to function as an additional brake light, (shines brighter when brakes are applied).

Upon vehicle start up the light strip fades up and then on vehicle power down it 'shrinks' to the centre from the outer edges....

They have only just gone on sale

Looks like a great addition.

I think they are also working on a smoked version to reduce the amount of 'red' when the LED is not illuminated.

Depending upon vehicle colours it may be prudent to wait for that "Every Day is a School Day"

Not into mods generally but I really like that. Look well made & his installation video is top class

I read that they are having problems with them, might be worth waiting a bit.

I have seen a video and it looked like it didn’t line up with the tail lights but I think they were aftermarket lights.

What are the problems they are having with them? Powerful UK stands behind their products I’ve bought many times from them. The LED strips are for sale on their website I just checked. 2020 SVR / R.I.P. 2019 SVR / 2016 D4 Landmark / 2005 D3 HSE

I’ve not heard of any problems

I have just looked at their website & it says "Sorry this item is out of stock". It also said that yesterday

The person who posted did not say what the problem was but did say Powerful UK were aware and looking at a solution hence my comment to wait a while.

I bought this tail light, fitted it myself and it did not work. Contacted Powerful UK who were brilliant in their correspondence. They sent out instructions with a link to a second video explaining that the unit needs an inline fuse - they will send this out to early adopters and supply as part of the kit. I waited for mine to arrive.
Next day I receive another email to say do not install the unit as they are found to be faulty and if fitted, disconnect immediately. They explained that they are not sealed correctly and may let in water from the screw fixings at the rear. Full refund is on the way and they don't want the light back.
Looks like they have withdrawn them while they source a better quality build from another supplier. Shame really as I love the red stripe showing, even when they are not lit. I will remove my unit at the weekend. It is disconnected!

There was one in one of the Facebook RRS groups, it might have been ok on a fiesta but for a prestige car I’m really not so sure. Joined the X5 45e club

shame these look cool and follows the trend (Audi)....hope they find away of fixing and being available. Good to hear PowerfullUK customer service continues to be good as I have used many items and always found them helpful

Even Seat's have them now!

Looks like they're back in stock.

@gadgetman, any feedback on the fix? --
