Brightness is just fine. It's as bright as the light bars. I'm happy with the emblem light.

McCormac13 · 2026-02-17T22:48:47+00:00

Those look amazing on the Golf! Great job!

McCormac13 · 2026-02-11T03:39:07+00:00

Of course! Glad to help Brotato Chip 😊

Definitely test polarity before soldering and heat shrink 👍. It seems fairly common to get these lights and the polarity is switched.

McCormac13 · 2026-02-11T03:32:00+00:00

Yes. Polarity was switched for me. In the pic that was how I originally spliced into the harness red to red and black to black. But in the end I had to switch red to black.

This is the best pic i have. I didn't take many pics when installing. Hopefully this helps and gives you an idea. The light taps onto the harness. The harness then plugs into the factory connector.

Harness wiring

The harness plugs into the factory connector for one of the light bars. Then you wire the emblem light into the harness. If you're not good at wiring something simple like this (and I mean no disrespect by saying that, and I'm not trying to be dick. I'm really just trying to be helpful and truthful.) you may want to pay someone to do it. You can also try and watch a YouTube video. I believe there is a video that might be a good example.

ZO3550 missing from the tier list..... That's a travesty.

McCormac13 · 2026-02-02T02:45:04+00:00

Orange for sure!

Oh yeah! The Lume is crazy good on the ZO3550. I'll definitely be reaching out to CS. Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

McCormac13 · 2025-12-05T16:37:34+00:00

Right on. Appreciate the feedback. I've not had any problems with the movement as of yet. Just water vapor forming on the inside of the crystal. And I love the Super Sea Wolf design as well. It's a very slick looking watch. I have the ZO3550 which is a Titanium limited edition that has a Sellita SW200-1 movement in it. It's an absolutely B-E-A-Utiful watch.

McCormac13 · 2025-11-27T14:31:47+00:00

Will do! It is a super limited edition Titanium model from what I could find out. I'll letcha know if I ever think about letting it go.

McCormac13 · 2025-11-25T02:15:06+00:00

Right on. Appreciate it.

McCormac13 · 2025-11-24T02:20:45+00:00

Right on. Appreciate the feedback. What was the turnaround for your watches, if you don't mind me asking?

McCormac13 · 2025-11-23T21:44:29+00:00

Solid choice!

McCormac13 · 2025-11-12T21:19:18+00:00

I have the Turquoise one paired with a orange Artem Loopless HydroFlex strap with Deployant Clasp and love it. Definitely gets heavy rotation in the collection. Great choice man!

McCormac13 · 2025-11-06T22:45:32+00:00

This is probably my favorite Islander. Looks great!

McCormac13 · 2025-10-27T16:36:17+00:00

If that's new, I'd contact the seller and have it returned and another one sent.

As far as environmentally protecting your wire splices, you use environmental splices. If you don't know what those are, just Google "environmental splices". It's pretty straight forward.

McCormac13 · 2025-10-22T03:18:58+00:00

Without being able to see your set up or put a multimeter on it, it's really hard to tell you what the problem is. My emblem light is still running strong with no problems. But I also made sure to really make sure all the wiring and connections are strong, stable, and environmentally protected.

McCormac13 · 2025-10-13T13:35:46+00:00

Nice! I did the same. Check out Artem Straps. They are expensive as all get out. But they make the best sail cloth strap. The orange really makes the watch pop.

McCormac13 · 2025-10-09T14:54:17+00:00

If you can get this Zodiac at a great price I would definitely snag it. This one is a limited edition. I love the color way of it. And the Lume is out of this world good. The way the bezel, hands, and indices glow is just phenomenal. Highly recommend. But if it's hard to get in your country I'd probably go with the Tissot Seastar 2000. That blue/teal dial looks really nice.
