Got the lights two days ago, did some clear silicone marine sealer around the perimeter this morning. After that cures a bit, hopefully throw them on this afternoon. Stay tuned.... hopefuly they work/no dead led's.

Well, verdict is, they are being sent back. Lights looked great, but wouldn't fire up, and kept blowing the #15 fuse in my car (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...into-gear.html)

I'm going to chalk it up to a bad resistor. Not sure if i'm going to ask for an exchange or refund, might be willing to give one more set a try, i'll keep you guys posted.

Lol u can never depend on those LED's. I had a very similar problem. I know a guy in Northeast Philly that can help u wire it up with no vsc lights etc. Charges $60-$80.

They looked really good in person too but where like 1% smaller than stock lights which was weird. There was definitely a slight gap all around between the light and the body.

Thanks for posting this info. I was considering purchasing these lights if they worked out for you. Anyone have suggestions on which led's to purchase off Ebay? I've read many say option racing.
