Does this mean we're ready for a Costco handoff this weekend?
No...unfortunately not. I'm going to be overseas for the next couple of weeks, so the plan is to leave them on soak-test during that time to fully test them, in the meantime the packaging is being produced. It's taken longer than expected to get the plastic formulation right to be able to withstand the additional heat output, albeit over a time period that's 100's of times longer than a real-world cycle time.

I read through my post and added the text because it did not turn out like it was intended.
I have removed my post, since it was not right in this thread.
I am a large supporter of Petes project, and checking his shop regularly to see if he have them in stock.
Have done some testing with the 5630 lights myself and they have a tendency to give spotlight effect, if used with few bulbs in closed dark space.
A tip is to try go make some with as many 3528 or 5050 to disperse the light as much as possible, and warm white for the interior lighting.
The interior is looking better with warm light around 2-3 times as powerful as the original Tesla lights, brighter just do not feel right.
The Trunk and Frunk need to be white to cool white, since the black carpet steals light and makes a warm white light to dark.
Information the original leds from Tesla is 0,2W.

I understand what you're saying about the color temperature, however the objective for this project was to match the factory look and feel in every respect, which included the lens design and color output.
