Nice job, guys. I think this is terrific. Verone was right.

I am in for a pair. Can I show some good faith with a deposit?

so does this mean its going to look alot different then the pic you first showed us with the basically white/opaque bottom and that youre actually going to be able to see into the lense? hope so...if it stays the same as in that pic after all this thatll just be dirty pool.

SHouldnt be that hard since i'm pretty sure the company you are going with produces those Altezza tail lights.

Crystal Cut same as Diamond cut? Because those are pretty clear.

I hope Luxury mod clear taillights is nothing close or similar to kazz clear tails. I personally seen the kazz tails and they are butt uglee. If you guys can get something 90% similar to JP tails.. I'm in for a set and sell my JP's. Post Pic once you guys have the actual product.

Default Do the bulbs go out much

I have a 13.5" JL Audio W7 in the trunk. I am worried that the led bulbs might go out from all the bass. Even if just one goes out, it will bother me. Do these LEDs go out easily?

well, with no word or confirmation/new pics as of late and now supratrd and this damn JP groupbuy lol, i think my arms twisted enough not to wait any more, that group buy ends the 31st and i know its only a few hundred bucks off original price, but a few hundred is a few hundred, i think im going with the JP tails instead of waiting another half a year just to see how these turn out.. good luck with the design and production man, hopefully you will take our free and GOOD advice and make some bank off the product. companies pay R&D departments boatloads to come up with ideas that will make or break and sell a product clean off the shelves, you got all this free advice just sitting here hopefully it gets used appropriately.

LEDs have a really long lifespan, they pretty much never go out.

from my experience with LED's and from what I heard about them, the LED's should and most likely will outlast the life of the car. Of course, there's other factors involved, such as a possible short, a bad LED batch, so of course, replacement IS a concern. But I don't think LED's should die out like standard filiment bulbs.

and yes, the big advantage is they're much brighter, faster to light up, uses less power and lasts longer. But of course, they're more expensive than filiment bulbs

Very nice. Hopefully you guys will be able to produce a set w/ LEDs and a set w/o LEDs. And definitely, it would look very nice if you could get the white part at least close to the JP tails (and definitely better than the kazz tails).

Next, maybe you guys can start work on a camber kit for the GS....hahaha
