Hi, so does it have a two stage light for yours? Where did you pick yours up?

Mine came with 3 wires. From the harness behind the tail lights the res goes to red black goes to black and white on the lights go to yellow on the oem harness. Dont use the green wire. now all the lights are blacked out.

Not sure about the seller or his product that you mentioned, but they look the same as mine. Fitment was 100% perfect and install was a breeze.

Here they are on my car at night with the brake let off....I get a lot of compliments on them! Good luck.

I finally had the time to install my rear bumper lights. I didn't like the look of the LED version so I purchased the smoked fiber optic version instead and couldn't be happier. The first picture shows the daytime running taillights while parked (the light has a glowing effect) & the second picture shows the taillights when the brake is applied

I would like to see these when they are completely off in daylight. Smoke probably looks real good with the black car. I almost went that route with the smoke with LED. First time I'm seeing the non LED of these bumper lights tho and like them a lot! Do they also fit well?

BTW is that exhaust custom...it sticks hella outwards and low.

I'll post day pics soon, the fitment was perfect no complaints and they look really good at night. The exhaust is an Ark Grip exhaust

Got mine and tested them, both worked perfectly. But unfortunately, they are not reflective. That's the whole point of these on the bumpers so when you're parked on the side of the street, there reflectors will help for vehicles coming from behind. Now I'm hesitant to put these on since they're not reflective at all.

And this is the one I have....they advertise it as a reflector but its not.

I emailed them now.

I'll post pics of them sometime tomorrow to compare the stock reflectors to the LED replacements

I installed my lights today. For the most part I like the way they look. My only complaint is that the right-side light has a bit of a defect. The two clear light tubes that make up the light have a sandblasted-like rear surface to reflect the light out. On the right light, one of the tubes is slightly rotated causing a clear section in the middle. The clear section shows up as a dark line through the middle of the light

The line is not visible in the first pic, but is visible to the eye.

I think they both look great but I'd love to see the non led version in person. I can't complain about my LED version at all either tho... Looks fantastic all day long.

Just as an update...my LED version of the reflectors slowly failed on me. Several individual LED's were starting to go out...so I would advise others to stay away. Since then, I've also started using the fiber optic version. Some pictures below of the same:
