Default Engine Bay Wireless Lighting

Has anyone ordered the Engine Bay Lighting Kit - Wireless RGB from Corvette Mods website? They state it's a wireless kit that utilizes a remote but they do not show a picture of what it looks like or where they mounted it. It's on the expensive side so I wanted to see it before possibly ordering one.

I already have then engine appearance package but since you can't leave the lights on for car shows they are nearly useless.

Read the Transactions Feedback section before buying anything from Corvette Mods. They used to be a supporting vendor here, but it is easy to see from the Transactions Feedback section why they no longer are.

This is the link to a video that shows a harness being installed so that you can control your engine bay lights with the rear defroster button.

This weekend installed led's with a remote battery box hidden on the bulkhead behind the oil fill tube. This is a temporary location until I can run the wire and place the box inside the cabin away from the heat.

I can see why they are only $12.

So what!

When the trunk is closed and the lights are on, you can't differentiate the cost of mine at 12 bux from those who paid a fortune to have their interior torn apart to hard wire. BFD. The net result is the light, not the fixture from whence it comes.

I ordered them. I tested them out of the box. They did not work. I sent them back and they charged me a restocking fee $20.00. They had a defective product and ripped me off. I will never do business with that company again. Their customer service is awful.
