Good luck man! Get the cam ready.

Pulled the trigger on mine, sure would like to see how yours went. Do it flawlessly.

No problem.. I already started tearing everything apart and took plenty of pictures.. I have already installed the Gen4 Nav and took off the tails. I am just waiting for the mailman to arrive then I will throw the tails on, install the ecu, and reassemble everything

Please let us know the difference between ECU. Hopefully it's only the fuse

IMO rear tails are worth TWICE the investment. It changes the whole look of the rear. They are more rounded rather than flat and give the SC a more modern look especially with the chrome bulbs and when they light up. I was following a 2006+ the other day in Dallas and admired them (since I really don't get to see my own) and I fell in love with them all over again. But then just today I saw a white crystal gold 02-05 and thought the tails made it look so dated. Just my opinion...but black and white cars especially benefit from the rear tails because of the stark contrast in colors and the bright LED's

Sorry to bring this back, but looking at a white debadged LED upgraded tail, looks wonderful!

I am so ready to tear the CM apart and put in my tape!

The light indicator was interesting in the beginning but now is starting to annoy me. Must be covered.

Default Need help!!

I installed the 06 tail light upgrade with ECU. Everything seems to work fine except that the turn signals don't work. Furthermore, the signals work on the front headlamps but they blink extremely fast. Any ideas?

It is wrong to get creative by putting some led turn signal bulbs instead of the stock bulbs if that was what you did.
