This will probably cause a "bulb out" error on 2001-03 cars. This mod is best for the 04-06 cars anyway, since it removes the lag between the LED tails and the incandescent 3rd brake light.
The "bulb out" error problem on 2001-03 cars can be corrected just changing the resistor R121 = 0.04Ω for 3rd brake light for those who are OK to do solderings and a part selection. The resistor is used in the “Multiplex Rear Junction Computer” which is located in the trunk. The resistance value can be calculated simply just using an Ohm's Law. You can find the detail here.
same things happened to me the 1st LED bulb i put in. it was bright at 1st, but then noticed one time i could barely see it. i ended up getting another brand and it has been great. but yours definitely turned out nice.
Did my own chasing 3rd brake light. You could probably do something similar without the chasing for cheaper but I think I spent less than $50 in material for the chasing setup.
