I like them. I might get a set anyone want ra tails. If I got these I might tint them some idk tho . I too would like to know if they were really plug in play. Or do you need resistors.

will leds burn out? do they fit like oem? i heard something about needed resisters? any more info?
LEDs have around a 25,000-50,000 hour life. However, LEDs tend to fade in brightness over time as opposed to burning out. Even so, much longer life than incandescent bulbs.

If they are not already built into the taillight assembly, LED taillights will need a resistor to slow down the blink rate.

Snap some night shots with the brakes on and blinkers on if you get a chance.

they do need resistors. i bought a set of these a while back and every time i drove my car the traction and all wheel controls would disable and i would have to turn my car off to reset them. that did'nt do much good because it would do it over again. once i blew a fuse i put my stockers back on. they do look real nice but ill go with the ra tails instead.

Looks real good. They kind of ex'd out the circular design (which is cool), I wonder why they chose to keep the reverse light circular (makes it look a little odd)..

1. The lights come with resistors built-in. I have a normal blink rate.
2. Fit was just like stock.
3. The turn signals are incandescent bulbs. Would have been better if they were LED. The kit comes with 2 amber 7440 bulbs to replace the clear ones in the turn signals. Look close and you can see the amber bulb in the pictures.
4. The reverse stay incandescent as well.
5. When applying the brakes the LEDs only get brighter. There is no other change in lighting pattern.

Not bad looking at all.

Anything is better looking than the 2008 stock tail lights.
