I got that right now on my car. Fitment is 95% on point and works really well. Pretty bright when brakes are applied. The only issue I had though was that my left tail light wasnt sealed somewhere so I had a fishtank after a carwash :/ But I ran clear silicone all around it and its pretty sealed now. I just didnt know where it was leaking from. Damn look at that it's a dollar off now haha. I ordered them last week and recieved it 3 days later... not bad for shipping service.

They sell (the seller) outers but no inners anywhere?

Hmm how about seperating the outer housing on these LEDs and siliconing it onto a 01-05 backing

Rippaflow,
Good luck with that. I've tried that already. And it's a no go. Lots of work and it's a pain... but let me know if you can come through with it.

i have a 2 sets of led inners... if you're interested.

not that i know of, i also wonder if the inner lights need resistors too???

But these are the ones i keep hearing about, a few members have used this one with no real issue, (other then the one mentioned above) and it shouldnt set off the brake light either since it has a resistor.

I use the same outer LEDs. No problems whatsover.

Sealed, no lamp indicator out light, no LEDs out, everything works.

IMO the LED pattern is pretty ugly on those...
