Oh crap I posted this like out of the zone Sorry about that imma fix it. Its Volks CE28N's

So far I've rode with 2 passengers 1 front 1 rear and my son Im going to try a full height 3 passenger soon... Nothing is rubbing after my alignment.



Quick questions for the guys with LED tail lights!!!! Does it matter when you plug up the brake light sockets? Just got them and I smell the plastic and the resistor seems pretty hot.... It seeps inside from the trunk area is that normal??? Also they seem pretty bright without the brakes applied and when the brakes are applied they don't make much of a difference.

Some other make from ebay.

I "think" I fixed the problem....

When I had my 98-00 tail light I did this mod.... http://bananags.grantham-internation...dedbrakelight/

and I think that made a major power output to the LED where the resistor really heated up and melted one of the wires.... =/ The gauge are still covered but dang, it melted.

So I undid that process I did for the 6 brake light conversion and now everything seems about right... my lights are they are kind of low lighting and when the brake is applied they are way brighter... luckily I caught this or something else wouldve caught on.... yeah some fire

Umm I bought them as a shock&spring combo from another user on here I forgot who I think Im not sure it was from uptowngs "I think" he delivered it to my house but B&G is located in San Diego, CA do a search. ALSO the only reason why that last B&G pic is low is because I chopped them (not a good IDEA) LOL

No issues. I removed them myself with a help of my friend. I did a search on here on how to remove tints. One of the thread shows tools needed were

-Steamer
-Tweezer
-3m or any aerosol spray Adhesive remover
-Winow/glass cleaner (I prefer Invisible Glass)

I just pretty much steamed the window and tint for about 5 minutes and used the tweezer to fiddle the edge until its flimsy then slowly remove/peel the tint with the steamer as a guide pattern to loosen up the adhesive in the direction your peeling the tint off. When your done any leftover adhesive just use the adhesive remover to clean them up (might need some elbow grease on some adhesive) and glass cleaner to clean it up.
