So after staring at these for a couple days, a couple extra notes:
1. The cables from Bruce would be nice. I'm too cheap to buy them so I'm going to make my own but from a distance, at night the strips are much nicer looking when the bulbs behind them are not on.
2. The LED turn signals are dim. In bright daylight they're just adequate. It's a combination of not using bright enough lights and the lights being smoked.
Other than those trivial complaints, no regrets.

a couple members have these...they seem to be pretty happy with them as well. its a nice in-btwn option. i personally love the OEM LCI tails much more but you have to be willing to pay twice the price and not all of us can seriously justify that.
one word of caution, i see you have plans to sell your stock pre-LCI tails....they garner very weak dollars in the secondary market. i would go straight to ebay with them....and expect less than $100 for the set. but hey, whatever cash u get is a bonus at this point right?
congrats on your upgrade, lookin good man
