Thanks! I'm cool with it, they're working on it right now for me and I got other projects I can work on till I get a new light

I want to pull the trigger on these, but I want y'all to test them for another couple months first ;-)

The LED's are super nice just to say to everyone who hasn't ordered yet and is thinking about it, even though mine came in with that small chip, it was only because of the inner packing failing. They look soooo sick, definitely worth it.

Oh..I think they look amazing, but my concern is overall safety as well. I am hoping these are just as bright in the daytime as our oem setup..I have seen a few good aftermarket led setups like on tahoes and the slightly older chargers..nice and bright for people behind on a sunny day. I would be pissed if these were not as bright..mostly all of the pics and vids of these seem to be at night..but never outside in bright daylight

To me, I think they are bright enough. Below is a picture of the LED vs. OEM. Unfortuntately, I do not have any with the "brake" light on. Car is in the shop for another 2 months.

That's great Nat! Definitely looks as though there is more significant contrast and slightly brighter/more intense light in the comparison photo.

Makes me want my lights more than ever!

Nice update shot of the LED"s and nice rear diffuser whatever its called, not sure if thats a full kit or whatever, but the back of the car is just sick! love it.

I tell you what if you guys do order these and then they come in the mail, the box is huge, then there's an inner box, then the lights are all shiny and wrapped in plastic, man its like xmas time all over, its definitely a treat, I felt like it was worth it, just like women have their shoes, we have our toys lol. The only feeling that surpasses it would be wild bore hunting from a tree or nachos and the walmart sporting goods section some of yall know what I'm talking about, enough said.

I think it's hard to show how they'll look in the day time just because of how most cameras work. It's hard to even show how red these are at night. Cameras try to correct the exposure on their own. The slide show video I posted in another thread was with my slr and it's hard to show it with that. I'll try something during the day in a few days but I think if you sleep on a set now it'll be a hot minute until more come.
