PFran LEDs

[MobileBasecamp]

That stinks. I see what you mean. I purchased his LED kit for my old 100 when he first started selling them and the bright white was blinding and the solders on the cheap LEDs he used came loose. I've bought CV clamp kits from him twice. Don't know why he's still selling them if he's not filling the orders. he has to be making $60 off each order. For the current 100, I used his pic and bought the bulbs in the warm white color off of amazon and had enough bulbs to do 10 100s for under $20.

Yeah I'm going to follow your lead on this one

How does the warm white look? @bamabrock The clinically-cold light you normally get from LEDs is one reason I haven't done an interior light upgrade yet.

I installed the LED panels in the middle and rear and swapped the bulbs in the doors with 194 bulbs, all in warm white. Its nice and bright without hurting the eyes. I didn't bother with the map lights. the halogens in them are fine and they never get used.

So I will add to this thread my opinion on the Pfrans LEDS. So I live in Atlanta and ordered them I believe almost two years ago. I purchased a used LX470. I had seen good reviews about his kit for the 100 series. I purchased a kit for him 3-4 years ago for my 4th gen 4Runner and it was a good kit. So after a few months the kit finally comes in for my LX470. Now this guy lives probably less than 15 miles from me and it took me months to get my kit. So I installed the kit and it sucked. Some were white, some were blue and some were purple. After numerous emails I never heard back from him and said screw it. I personally would just find the sizes you need and order them off Amazon or Ebay. It is so much easier and actually cheaper.

You can also try Odd Iron Offroad in Thomasville GA. Rob who runs the place is a perfectionist and his bulbs are great. He doe not have everything on his website but will definitely take your call.

I have thought about it but I would rather just buy new ones and just not even worry about Pfran and his leds.

Good way to get shot.

We have small claims courts....just for this type of thing.

it's a joke kid.

He committed multiple counts of mail fraud across state lines. Small claims is childs play

I must be a lucky one, ordered twice for two 100’s and both times were quick. Never even had a failure. Lights are perfect.

I think 'mail fraud' in this case is a bit of a stretch. Pfran has (over the years) simply become unreliable. Even in years past....there have been 'problems' on and off. But that's a long way from mail fraud IMO.

why is pfran still a thing?
just get these panels from amazon https://amzn.to/3ikG6N5 or ebay or wherever. they will fit and be brighter than anything you can fit in there.

edit: and cheaper

You wouldn't happen to have a listing of the sizes of these bulbs would you? If you have any extras left over I'd be willing to pick up a set from you.

FYI it's on his website and it's listed at $90 for the 100-series interior LED kit. The rent too damn high on that one. It also appears to be cool blue and not the warm white which is what many people in the market are looking for - to maintain a period-correct look.

the link i posted above is the warm white led panels for a fraction of the cost. i did not swap my map lights. just the 2 dome panels

 

[thetimmer]

Has anyone done business with PFran LEDs lately? Placed my order a few weeks ago, got an email saying my order has been shipped about a week later. Fast forward two more weeks to present, the tracking number is invalid and their website is no longer active. Have emailed them several times, but to no avail.

I ordered lights back in on June 4th *(over 4 months ago) and my credit card was charged at that time. I have not received my lights and all emails to the website have gone unreturned. I would love to receive my lights but if not I would like the $90 returned to my credit card. Any help in contacting PFRAN would be very appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Do you just plugg these in and they just sit in the dome piece? Or do they still attach some how?

 

[chudly]

they just plug in since the "bulb" is variable sized with the spring. I have the led panel just resting on the clear plastic dome piece. it doesn't rattle or move.

buy those panels chudly linked. replace the two dome panels with them.
