Mine will be in on Tuesday. I also ordered a sequential switchback led controller for the turns and brake.

Nice, post up pics and review once you're done - if you don't mind.

Yes, please post pics/write-up. Interested to see how the brake lights work out.

same here. would love to see what you think once they're installed.

i know there's concern because there's only 2 leds per brake light, but then again, we've got the 3rd brake light in the spoiler, which is plenty bright.

Default Disappointed

I actually bought these and then saw the post. The outside lights are really a deal breaker because of the tiny break lights that are surprisingly dim.
I just kept the center pieces installed and will try to think of something to do with the break light LEDS. Maybe salvageable.

I installed the tails in my car tonight. I also did the bumper reflector lights and tied them into the brake light. I found that although the lights are advertised for 2011-2014 cars, my 2014 with LED license Plate lights have a different connector. The harness connector for making the inner lights get 12V, has an entirely different connection then what is on the car. I simply tapped the plate bulb wires and hooked them up to the harness instead. Everything works as it should

Do you have pictures of the installed lights? Are they bright enough at night?

I had a chubby for these lights also and planned on doing exactly what SweetWater did (tying the lower bumper reflectors to the brake lights)

They look nice in the ebay photos. Looking forward to seeing a Real World example!
