I want to know if it's a plug and plag connection. Do I need a harness? I know some of you guys are using harnesses for the LCI tail light upgrade.

I want to know what the scoop is..
this is a plug and play 100% OK I have been using it for over 1 year now and work 100% ok
Get them

Not quite. The Umitzas are based on the pre-LCI lenses. LED bulbs were addded, in place of incadescents, but the style definately differs from OEM LCI. The major difference is the lack of the light rods. In the Umnitza (and other aftermarket LED versions), the individual LEDS can be seen distinctly when lit. The LCI version shows a set of rods similar in look to glowing neon tubes - a long smooth flow of light. The LCI uses LEDS in the turn signal strip and LED side-markers in the lens. The turn signal strip has been 'crystallized' in the LCI version as well for additional visual effect.

Sure enough ... but for the price difference I bought 8 liters of 30 year old single malt scotch ... we each must choose our own road to happiness !
