Hi Ed! I was one of the early posters interested before you became an "official" biniss. I am still interested so just tell me how much and how to pay you when you get your next batch done.

Thinking I should keep the RS and get a C7 to thrash for about the same money.

Default More AILD-1 units are available

[...]

In the end, it's only 5 wires. I forgot to include how I connected the grounding wire, but it's simply a wire that Ed already has a ring crimped to--you just remove the MP-IV grounding bolt and add it to the gazillion other grounds there. You can see the ring on the brown wire below.

Again, great product Ed--thank you!!
Thanks for your nice write-up, Bruce! I should have acknowledged it a long time ago.



Everyone, there are more available again. See AILD-1 Automotive Instrumentation Lighting Dimmer: A Solution to Dimming After Upgrading Instrumentation Lighting to LEDs for more information.

Rcvd mine from the early batch.

Gotta say, Ed starts a small business endeavor with flair.

Perfect, innovative product. Highest quality. Exceptional web-based ordering. Rapid delivery. Probably one of the most satisfying aftermarket car parts purchases ever for me.

Well, you'll have to (just a little bit). I'm in Oconomowoc (hadn't heard of it until shortly before Helen dragged me along to an event here) at the moment, but will be back in a couple of days.

BTW, long live your avatar.

Ed,

Your store website states, "Stock is depleted!"

Any idea, when the AILD-1 will be available again for order or shipment?

I would like to order two.

Thanks.

Yeah, I've been having a hard time keeping up with demand. I disable ordering when I'm don't have any units that I'm sure I can ship within 24 hours of an order. I'll have more within a week; I'll PM you when I've got more. Just yesterday, I got enough additional parts so I'm good for about another 100 units.
