spent all weekend long figuring out the wiring solution, the placement, fitment, lighting effect and how to make it clean....not cheesy or too much. i wish you all could see it in person, its so clean...looks 100% OEM i shit you not...



shout out to member nomis_nehc for coding my car and re-wiring my LCI tails to do the cool break effects w/o me having to buy any special cables...anyone local should definitely hit him up rather than buying extra equipment...

Definitely needed.
