Wow, those are nice! I had my eyes on the led lower bumper reflectors. I never knew they made a kit for the actual taillights!

K well i got all the boards mounted up on one side. (my trial/dummy side) I tested it with a batter and everything works great. I like the added reverse light, it gives more visibility when backing up and more visible to other drivers. Stoked on added brightness. Ill try to remember to take more pics when doing the other side to do a write up

I'm with wassa, maybe someone will come up with a oem style plug and play kit. It's only a matter time and this car will have an aftermarket scene like the civic IMO.
