Has anybody have successs in upgrading from regular light bulbs to LED tail lights for SC430??? I've heard mixed opinions on that so far... some say it's as simple as replacing the light builbs with the LEDs which costs near nothing, some say it can be done but would require buying the full led tail light kit including the ECU, others say it's impossible because new models have different voltage than older models.... please advise!!! thanks!!

did u read the other post? do a search. Basically if you dont get the ecu you see a bunrt out bulb light on your dash. If this doesnt bother you then you dont need to spend the extra $250 on a ECU. The kit cost about $520 just for the tail lights. replacing the lightbulbs with leds are just replacing lights thats not going to make your tail lights different. The 2006 tail lights are completly redesigned and in almost everyones opinion look a hell of a lot better. If u got any more questions u can email me at tonydt1g3r@aol.com I upgraded my tails a while back and it looks great

Well, they might look a little better, but whether they look $750 better is open to debate.

I think the statement probably can apply to anything. One man's trash is the other's treasure. After all, each individual possesses different value system. For instance even if someone wants to give me a set of free "wood sticker" that goes to the interior, I will not even think about it. But someone may like those.

I'm with you there. They look just a bit better (no LED turn signals???) IMHO, but definitely not $750 better ($250 is how much I value the full upgrade). Plus I don't need to pretend I drive an '06 , soooo no new tails for me either.

I have the 06 upgrade and I dont have the ECU. I can live with the light on the dash.
