I think you might want to try ordering 1 set from the Filener site and then edit your quantity in PayPal's shopping cart?

Edit: Sorry, you weren't asking for advice, you were reporting a bug on the website!

True. That would work. But there is a quantity box on the page...

I'm up for a set as well, looks like a ton of color choices to get it just right. I'll point a few friends who don't check in here ofteh to this thread as well.

Just tried to order a set and the bloody PayPal site is "experiencing technical difficulties with its credit card processing". Bah

I'll try again later!

I'm interested, 100%. Wow, I'm ordering it now.

Actually, does anybody know which red would match Audi's current red?

I have the ordinary red lens that Filener sells, and it matches great!

Who, me???? Nah...

I ordered the set (of course ), so now I'm asking just out of curiosity: how readable is it in daylight? I currently am using a quite good match, but in the day is not very readable...

For me its not too bad, but I have a really dark tint all around. Even then though I still have problems reading it. I don't know if you could match it well, with having good daytime visibility. I do have one red gel I got from Darkstorm, "106 Primary Red." I would go check it out, but my car is in the shop getting some body work done.

Thanks, don't worry about it. I have a Darkstorm red too which I am using now since it's the best compromise I've found so far between readability and color match. I would think it's the one you're mentioning. I have to say that at night the match is almost perfect, while during the day it looks like a different red and, as I said, not very readable. Unreadable under certain light conditions. Now, I know I may be misleaded, but I am starting to think illuminations in my dashboard changes automatically depending on light conditions. There's no such reference in the user manual, but new Audi s (I onw an A3) have a lot of electronics wihich is not even mentioned.
Anyway, I'm now hoping to find an even better compromise in the rainbow set If I don't, I'll be happy to have increased my empeg stuff collection

If you do get a better compromise be sure to let us know! I have basically given up on reading my empeg's screen during the day. It would be nice when I can't remember exactly how many times I need to hit the right button to get to a particular song.

Yay! Order placed!

Can someone point me to the site where I can order these? Thanks! Also Ive noticed people commenting on the clear being "fuzzy" is there a specific lens that isnt fuzzy I could also order? Thanks!

Lol sorry had ablonde moment. was looking for a filener link in the thread and didnt even think to check the links at the top time for bed for me. Thanks

Cool, I haven't seen mine yet. If no one has already, I'll let Phil at Filener know that the AR lenses are problematic. He doesn't have an Empeg to test them so he won't know otherwise.

I'm now offering the option of anti-reflective or plain clear with the rainbows (or one of each). Anyone who has received the anti-reflective and isn't happy with it can contact me and I'll send them a plain clear lens at no charge.

The first MK2s came out with lenses that didn't have an AR coating. When the AR lenses came out I got one, but it also causes slight bluriness. Although the AR lens isn't bad, I prefer the original one, smooth/reflecting one. It's a compromise you make, I'm pretty sure all AR coatings will cause at least a little bluriness.

Seems like the comparison between LCD and CRT monitors. LCD (clear lense) is sharp but sometimes too sharp. While CRT (AR lense) blurs everything together creating the impression of curves, but maybe too blurry.

The reflections shown on my Darkstorm lenses because of their smooth finish tend to be more obstructing than ambient or direct sunlight. I am excited to try Filener's anti-reflective coating, though it may blur. Soon, soon.

I just have to say, I ordered the rainbow kit and he was "FAST". He had the order processed and out the same day. Even emailed me and let me know. He was very quick with my email questions about getting barb wire border on them as well as the 2 differnt clear lenses. Was very nice having such great service.

Ok, I'm finally back. Now I just have to take a picture of my white empeg, at night, to show you how good it is. After driving for 4500 Km with it, I'm still enthusiastic about it. Thos interested, please excuse me for the delay. I'll do my best to post the picture soon.

There you go...

Closer:



Actually, I can see in the picture a little difference between the instrumentation white and the empeg white. That is not noticeable in "real life".

That looks sweet! My car's dash is illuminated only in red, no white. But very nice! Plus readable in daylight is very good.
