Growler grill badge color change
#21
Thanks for the posts! Unfortunately got me thinking (which is dangerous and painful ). I have a Polaris White AWD R, and I previously replaced the front Growler (did not like the red on mine) with a Black one...Sooo, I took the red one and painted it white and used CanBus LEDs and soldered it up and drilled the eyes. Came up with this. Not as fancy as some of the ones on here and only the eyes light up white, but I am going to install with the DRL's switch, and if it looks bad, just peel off...add more 3M moulding adhesive and put the black one back on.

Thanks. I am no automotive professional (other than financing auto franchises and prior ownership). There is a person up above that seems to be making them professionally and likey does a better job. Mine was just handmade and painted, and I just soldered the lights in the Growler space and used hot glue, etc.. Note I think they also sell some on eBay, and maybe Ali Express?
I would be worried that I may not match paint, or something like the light would fizzle or?? If I do end up having some time between my multiple endeavors, I will certainly try to make you one, and will PM you what the costs might be for parts etc.. Happy to help you out, just worried I could not meet a commitment.
I did get in installed this AM before church, and it came out pretty good. I took off the radiator cover and reached through the back side (I have long arms!....and barely could reach). I used one of my old shop's online references for the wiring diagram, and tapped in to the DRL power so it comes on with DRLs and tested that it does go off when the car goes to sleep (Purple/Green wire on the Headlight loom, if anyone is interested).
Pics below...I just finished

PS.Here are the ones on eBay:

How to remove Growler..
Nice designs and great lighting.. how easy is it to get the Growler off? I tried doing some artistic work on my Golf's VW front emblem background, but it would not come off. I ended up inserting my paint brush through the VW to do the painting... description and photos most welcome!

Just get a trim removal tool in behind the edge and gently lever away.
I took mine off years ago (to paint the kitty) and simply pushed it back on in place and it hasn't budged a micron since.

I did without expecting much but surprisingly actually got this response:
RAYMAX LUMINOUS GEAR We are now working on the 2nd generation LED emblem which have white led color
RAYMAX LUMINOUS GEAR It will be available in 2-3 weeks
though have to wonder why they neglected to make a universally street legal one in the first place

Hey @powerhouse - I know you posted this some time ago, but the badge looks really nice. How did you get the lettering black to come out so well? Did you spray it red first, the fill in the black with a brush, and wif\pen off the excess while wet?
