Did they simply stop making the NON-LED red/clear tails or are they just sold exclusively overseas? When I bought mine, they were one of three on eBay. The next day they were gone. Just wondering what happened to them

700 is a little nuts for lights (coming from the @#%@#% that just payed $300 for some LEDs that don't work right ) But I guess that there may be some residual value from the sale if you take them off your whip when you sell.

ARGH.

any updates on the people that didn't have any problems with these ?

I really want these bad, they look like the same ones that sell in japan. I don't understand why the problem is occurring. I sounds like it's the led's connections. the computer is not like it and throwing the warning light.

ok cool. but u sure the tail lights are working properly ? I don't mind the error light, I just want to make sure the tail lights work properly. It's a safety issue, and I don't want cops pulling me over for fix it ticket.

ok guys got it done, everything looks great. all led works and everything lights up properly. I just need to change the white signal lights to orange.

however there are a few things that I'm not sure of and don't know if it was included in some of your first sets that went around.

--The inner tail lamps attached to the trunk has an extra tiny little pin connection that connects to nothing. I'm not sure what it's for.

--and the set also comes with 4 1" x 4" rectangular looking block that attaches to the lamps attached to trunk. I only used two of them (one for each side attached to trunk) and have two extra. Are these the resistors ? did u guys get 4 of them
?

and that's about it, let's hope no problems
