Default Rear lower bumper lights

Anyone ever put these on the rear lower bumper? They are the same as the ones on the IsF. I put them on my IsF and it makes the rear stand out more.. going to put these on my RC350

I have them for my RCF, I haven't ventured to remove the rear fascia to install them, since my rear fascia is turning yellow at the rear of the tires for some reason I am taking it in to the dealer next month, I am likely going to have them repaint the rear and when it is off I will be installing them.

I purchased the same set but in the "blackout version." Haven't installed them yet, but when I do i'll post pics.

To my understanding, you basically have to take the rear bumper off (someone did it here if your search for it). As for wiring, no hole drilling needed from what I was told. I'm thinking of getting this.

Yes you need to remove the rear bumper to install these. There are 3 wires which match the colors of your factory wires from your tail lights which you will need to tap into. (Has the feature to come on when you brake)

Not sure about the seller or his product that you mentioned, but they look the same as mine. Fitment was 100% perfect and install was a breeze.

Here they are on my car at night with the brake let off....I get a lot of compliments on them! Good luck.

because those are his tail lights not his brake lights.

the RC has a separate brake light that is dark until the brake is applied, while the tail lights also double as the brake lights..

the ones I bought have the reflectors on the outer edges with the LED in the middle. some do, some don't you'll need to verify what you buy.

this is what I got:

as you can see there are reflectors on the edges, though they are white not red like the original ones.:

Yes, mine are reflective during the day....I would assume they all are.
