Thumbs down

Finished up the replacement of my tail lamps. These are pics from my cell phone - it just started to rain when I finished up the install. I'll take better pictures when the weather calms down.

Sorry to say they are not the LCI's with Bruce's cables ... but then again the total out of pocket INCLUDING the 39 LED BFD Bulbs was just a tad more than $200. No strobing and no bulb error messages!

Remember I once said it's not how much you make ... its what you spend and how much you save that determines your wealth.

Cool. Where'd you end up purchasing this set of rear tail lights?

Ebay Seller Revotec ... Free Shipping + I had a 10% Paypal coupon + 1% MrRebates ... the 39LED Red Bulbs were from premierteknet112222. Next I'm going to replace the amber turn signals with LEDs but I don't know if the built in resister pack with allow them to work correctly. If it doesn't I'll have to add an external resister.

The Back up lamps are also almost 100% brighter on these ... P21's!

so is this a replacement assembly? or is it just the bulb replacement? it is just the one bulb that lights up the whole thing?

thanks and sorry for my ignorance.

few questions,

did you have to set up a resistor for the individual bulb?

did you have to add any resistors for the lamp assembly or was it plug n play setup?
