Daystar
Just finished installing a second set of PIAA light, it went great. The downside was the Daystar lower panel with rocker switches, piece of crap. The worst part is the shift boot hits the switches and every time I shift the boot hit's the switches and they go off. Also note the Daystar upper dash panel doesn't hold and iPhone.
Here's the letter I sent to Daystar, I wonder if they care?
Daystar,
I just finished installing these to products,
Dash Panel - Lower - JK Wrangler * - DYSTR-J-KJ71030
Dash Panel - Upper - JK Wrangler * - DYSTR-J-KJ71020
Switch - Light Rocker - Blue - JK Wrangler * - DYSTR-J-KU80011
The quality of the parts is very poor, the surface was not a very close match. The upper panel doesn't hold and iPhone like the ad picture I say. But my biggest disappointment was with the lower cash panel and switches. They touch the shift boot, which causes them to turn off when I shift into 1st, 3rd and 5th gear. If this is a common problem then you should tell people that the panel is just for looks and not function.
I probably would not order, or recommend any of your products unless I was able to see them in person to avoid buying useless products. It's hard to believe a company would produce products without trying them first.

I have the day star rocker panel in my jeep. It's an automatic, but when I use the 4wd, my knuckles hit the panel every time and sets one of the rockers off. Just the way they are......

I did find to solutions that help keep the lights on when shifting. If you own a Jeep you just need to be resourceful. So what do you think, duct tape or bungee?
:crazy eyes:
Wonder if Daystar ever takes any of there junk back?

Which iPhone?
You must have an iPhone 3G/3GS. My iPhone 4 fits in the front recessed pocket perfect on the upper dash panel. BTW, I love both my upper and lower dash panel, have never had one issue. It's just injection molded plastic, not some custom piece of carbon fiber technology

My iPhone 4 dosen't lay flat in the front recess. You must have an automatic. So my solution is to buy a 2011 Jeep? I'll get right on that.

My iPhone is placed in the "upper" dash panel, which is the Daystar dash insert above the radio. Where did you get anything about the phone being placed infront of the shifter I am pretty sure I am not advising anyone to buy a 2011 jeep
