And I just filled your order.
Just to reitterate what I mentioned on the site, orders placed between Saturday 7/2/05 and Sunday 7/17/05 will not ship until the morning of Tuesday 7/19/05, hopefully! Orders placed during that third week of July will likely be delayed as I ship everything from the previous two weeks. (I won't make the mistake of staying up till 2:00am every night for a week filling orders like I did last week because now I'm sick, just in time for vacation, yea!)
So, placing an order tomorrow (Thursday) or the next day (Friday) will get you the quickest shipping during the next few weeks.

Got my superset today and they look GREAT!! Thanks for all your hard work in getting them made. Can't decide what colours to use but who cares - one for each day of the week.
Now - if only I had the lights working which I've had for almost 2 years now and not got around to doing anything with yet. Anybody in the UK currently fitting them?

Next meet, have me show you my solution for that.
TFabris; Want to document your solution for button/knob light overflow for us overseas types that can't make it to the meet? I havent got my order yet, but from the pics I've looked at I cant imagine how youd do it without modifying the lens. Care to share?
FireFox; I haven't seen any mention of how well the colors match the original (empeg/rio) replacement lenses, or the darkstorm smoke (and others?) lenses. Anyone care to comment? Firefox you should add this info to your site.
Oh, and I ordered a 5 set anyway - hope the smoke set match my old-skool smoke lens

Quick crappy pictures taken with my treo. Factory blue lense with the anti-reflective coating on the back and Green Lights blue buttons.
This is at max brightness.

So what do you have to do to get an attachement image to show inline as well?
(Thanks shonky!)
I've got the full set of factory lenses and Greenlights buttons, so I can take a few pictures. Is there one or two button brightness levels that are a good choice?

<edit>Mataglap makes a good point. The photos on the website are of the original factory anti-reflective blue lens, since this color is currently not sold by Filener. People with the Filener rainbow gell kit could probably create this color with one or two gells, though.</edit>
Thanks for the reminder. The only Darkstorm lenses I have are dark green and fluorescent green, so I can only help that much. I can photograph the buttons with the factory lenses and post them in the Gallery. I should also post my night pics and the stealth-mode set at night regarding light leakage.
For now, you can check this post where I showed the factory lenses against the color swatches. And, for comparison, this post where I showed the Filener lenses against the same color swatches. The colors, brightness, and contrast in the photos are unmodified (probably because the nice white from the knob LEDs gave the camera a good white balance).

I received a set of each colour (thanks!) and can confirm that the buttons are very well manufactured. I know what a pain in the arse injection moulding can be (since I co-ordinated the original Mk.2 buttons and fascia) and working in transparent plastic makes every detail even more critical. Great job!

Cool - I e-mailed you last week about some repairs but then saw your posts about not being available until late August so thought I'd try a different route to at least getting the buttons sorted out. I'll await your repsonse. I don't think I used the above e-mail adddress so I'll check when I get home.

I mailed the old address for support. I take it these will be added into the queue for the new support?
And on a separate note - looking at the picture at the top of this thread again gave me a flashback to Lenny Henry impersonating David Bellamy - look at all those lovely buttons!

Firefox, I received the super set and... what can I say? They're simply excellent! Thank you! I am now using the black buttons, so I could finally remove the gray color from my interiors. They are indistinguishable from the rest of the fascia, at least to my eye. I couldn't ask more (except for the metal, chrome buttons, of course ). I am posting a picture soon. Absolutely recommended! Fantastic Job, Firefox!

I've had my empeg set up with red buttons (Brian's) and a Darkstorm smoke lens since September. Before that I had blue buttons with the smoke lens. Before that I had the blue buttons with a clear lens and (pre-Filener) gel set to match VW Blue, but sunlight readability suffered too much. At some point I intend to put the red buttons together with the blue gels which should match my VW Golf's blue and red dash perfectly. I doubt I'll keep it that way for long though due to the readability issue I just mentioned.

If or when you get a chance, I'd love to see red buttons with smoked lens. Maybe when he gets back in town, the Greenlight website can show images with the lights turned off too...
After getting my memory board, light kit and fan, I'm a bit short on cash. I also only have 1.5gb left on my 160gb player, so I might need to ebay some junk just to afford a new hard drive. Anyway, my point is I may only be able to afford 1 or 2 $22 sets instead of the $88 complete set.

Here is a shot of my Empeg with a filner rainbow gel (slightly purple blue) and blue greenlights buttons in my 2001 Jetta. I have it mounted under the factory HU with a blitzsafe adapter. At some point, I'll swap in the red buttons and see how they look. It seems as readable at the original lens to me, but I havent had the factory lens on for awhile.

Here is a picture of the blue buttons installed.
The player has a light smoke lens and the buttons are at max lumination.

Does anyone have pictures of the button UNlit? I'm curious to see what they'd look like. (Or during the daylight hours if you always have the buttons lit).
