Loaner in terms of we have a set here that we can send out to be used while your set is being done. The problem we found with a core or exchange program is some peoples lamps are in marginal condition and we would not be able to sell them to someone else.

Couple of questions.

1. How closely does this lighting match the Xenon headlamps? I've noticed with DIY kits that both rings will light up the same color when just the running lights are on, but once you flip the headlamps on it's the headlamps that fill the ring around them, which leaves you with two different colored rings if the LEDs are not exactly the same color as the Xenon headlamps. This effect is illustrated in the image below, though a bit more difficult to discern given the limitations of my camera.

2. With other DIY LED H8 installs, on the inner ring (closest to the grille) there's a lamp in the center of it which is lit up the same color as the rings. However, when you make a turn in the vehicle that lamp lights up with a yellow-ish color lamp (the stock color tone). I haven't done too much investigating with this, but from what I've been able to tell just turning the wheel while the car is sitting still will not induce this effect - the vehicle has to be moving, like pulling into a parking spot (and the headlamps must be on as well). Is this the case with the LS1 system as well? Illustrated in the video below.

Do you guys Clean up the housing when we ship in our headlights? There seems to be dust inside the housing of the 135i that I just bought.
