Anyone tried out these LED tail lights on older style back lights? Pics?

The direct answer to your question is no, have not tried them. The bulb design raises some questions with me.

1. It's "fold-up" design is unique, and used to get it inside of the sealed lens housing, but how do you get it out once the petals are re-deployed? Seems to me the design and back side LEDs may present some issues.
2. After market LED's are typically not as bright as OEM versions, (usually inferior sized / type LEDs) what is their return policy?
3. Our SC's have a dashboard indicator to let you know if a taillight bulb has gone out (determined by change in voltage). Does their bulb account for the voltage change (LED uses less than incandescent) thus causing the bulb out indicator light to activate on the instrument panel?

FYI Those of us who have 02-05 SCs and have upgraded to the 06+ LED taillamps have gone mainly with the OEM version. Some have opted out of the OEM LAMP ECU and have handled the taillight out indicator on the dashboard with a piece of black tape, others spent the extra dollars for the ECU.

Thanks for the feedback! I may venture with these - and if so, I'll post up pics/synopsis.

Will the dashboard indicator tell us if one of our foglights are out? I just bought an HID kit so I'm hoping it won't cause the dashboard light to be on.

I bought some h3 35 watt ones instead of the 55watt.

the indicator light is a rear tail light issue i dont think it has anything to do with front headlight HIDs, basically it was telling us our rear light bulbs were out.
