    Hello boss. This looks amazing! You did a really good job at making it look perfect. I would like to do this to my mk5 golf. Do you remember the diameter of the clear plastic you cut out to fit in the taillight perfect. Thanks if you can help!!

    Congratulations on the beautiful videos you give us. One question, have you checked if the hot glue remains in its original state under the sun at high temperatures?

    • @arcgarage
      @arcgarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for support. The use of hot glue here is minimal, and I use the one with higher melting point so sun heat is not an issue...

    Just one question, how did you defeat the canbus tester? I'm a long time LED user and quite competent at electronics (telco tech by trade), but I don't want to have load resistors. I presume this was your work around?
