I have these exact ones on my ride. They're pretty good quality considering the price tag. I've had no problems so far. I say go for it, i think they look clean. It was also the easiest install ever!!

nice. you wouldnt happen to have any pics of how these things light up at night do you? im pretty sure judging by the stock photo that they dont light up in that stupid square pattern like some of the other sets, but i wanted to see anyway....

I've seen on some posts that some LED taillights make the dash light indicator go on. That would drive me crazy. Does anyone know if these lights would do that?

Yes unfortunately they do set it off... not that big of a deal imo. If i knew how to pull the dash bulb easily i would do that, but i'm not risking breaking clips or anything else trying to attempt it. The pic above is a pretty good representation of how they look at night.

IMO, they don't light up well at all! Nothing compared to OEM backlights from other company. I'm waiting for someone to come out with a better product. I know it will happen. =)

I ordered it. It came pretty quick. The left side....some of the LED's did not work so I sent it back. He followed up with me for a while with delays (back order) and now he's not responding any of my emails. I'm pissed.

I believe these LEDs are soldered onto a circuit board and the only way to replace on is to cut out the lense, take out the circuit board and unsolder the bad LED. Then solder on the new one but it gotta be the same size. Pain in the butt! I don't have a set but from looking at them, that's what it looks like. I was planning on doing my own project for this but too much work.
