New member here having recently bought a Felony. I bought a light kit from Polo for it, and am a little disappointed in what I got as it seems that the design has changed a bit from what I saw in some review videos.
The rear lights aren't particularly bright, and the lights I got have four LEDs in the center of the light, whereas some pictures look like they have 8 LEDs around the outside.
For the headlights, they're illuminated by 3 LEDs, and the light is very uneven - it's got three very obvious bright spots, rather than an even ring.
The floods are described as "high intensity" but they're actually just a single, standard LED running at 30mA on a 7.4V supply.
I'm not here to moan - I'd just be interested to know what's changed and what the older lights were like.
I enjoy tinkering with electronics, so I'm already happily in the process of modding them with some much brighter LEDs - the floods are now 2 LEDs running at 100mA rather than one at 30
I think the most disappointing thing about the kit is that the wiring joints aren't even soldered. They're just twisted together and then loosely heat shrinked. It's a shame, as clearly a lot effort has gone into creating lights that really fit the look of the car.
