Which key head do you like best?

The l.e.d.s can (and mine do) produce more light than the originals. They also take less juice from the battery. We will be selling them very soon - with both crests!

On that note, I guess I would have to vote for the non colorized key head.

Good to hear BOTH sides of the "story"
Re: LED lights, ironically, earlier today I was at radio shack getting what I needed to do this "mod."
Turns out I had to really rig it, and I'm still not done. I've never spent this much time working on a part of my car that wasn't even broken.
Anyway, if someone mass produces this thing, that'd be a great idea. But on the other hand, making it yourself is so much fun.
FYI, I'm using 5mm blue LED from Radio Shack, and if this works out I want to find a super-hyper-hurt-your-eyes bright LED and slap it in there.
If it doesn't work out I'll be ordering another one from Skip (or whoever) because I "rigged" to the point of no returning to stock. This time I'll get the "I DRIVE A PORSCH-AA SEE!" painted crest key.

I like the silver one best but when I ordered I received the colored one. I didn't mind!
Also, I'd like to replace the bulb with a led, but I just can't fit inside! <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

if you look @ the LED you'll notice the acutal working element is VERY small...the rest is just plastic there to kinda protect it & disipate the heat. You could trim off some with the tool of your choice to make it fit. I'd try it with a $.3 red one before I tried it on my $2 super bright white one first though

I know, I meant it as a joke, I can't fit myself (led) inside...
Rich, I've had mine for about a month and it lives in my keychain but hasn't been cut either. When I went to cut it they asked for a copy of the car's registration. As if I were to get a $20 key cut for a stolen car.

I'm a less is more kind of guy... So I'd go with the silver crest. Which is also what I've got. I'm even looking for a very mint set of non-colored wheel centers to swap for the painted crests the PO bought for my car.

had the OEM black-crest center caps for like $20 each, new! Ordered mine a few months ago, but I think they should still be the same price. Check it out.
