I bought mine here http://www.ebay.com/itm/260950274084...ht_3617wt_1270

I don't know if he has any left but the seller name is diplomatstore on ebay.

I gotta warn you though it's not a 100% direct fit although 4 small 1/4 inch grommets was all i needed to make it look good. If you don't use a grommet it leaves the light hanging out the sides, the grommets in the screw points between the light and body of the car fixed it, the light then hangs out a little towards the back, but looks good and since many oem car tail lights hang out a little 1/4 inch isn't much anyways.

also as with most LED's they can cause your tail light warning light to pop on, mine comes on every once in a while but it's still a bother. my dash light one of the bulbs died so when I replaced it I went and electric taped the light behind it but it works fine and no annoying light. I should've seen if I could've playedwith my torque app a bit to turn it off but o wells it works

I bought mine from that Ebay seller before he went on vacation. Took about 3 weeks for them to arrive from Taiwan.

I can't comment on how well they fit, since mine was in an accident, but I'll tell you that the LEDs are definitely not good quality. The outer 2 columns of LEDs are dimmer than the rest, and on mine, one tail light is all around twice as bright as the other. It suckx.

^^^nice video! I think the little bit sticking off is good, it looks to be designed into the tail light well enough anyway.

Yeah, I really hate how it's missing that one LED!

I think the way the electrics are designed cheaply, the outer columns are gonna be dimmer in parking mode, and they'll all be the same brightness in brake mode. I think mine is a flaw how one side is brighter than the other.

Here's a pic.

looks sick, but I'm scared if 1 led burns out, rather than a easy replacement twist in bulb

i have a aftermarket led spoiler and it has a few bulbs burnt out that bug me

Do you have pics or a link to the grommets you used? I've had the same problem for almost a year now.
