I know many of you have been waiting for me to post pics. Its raining outside so I can't really take a video but I managed to take some pics with the SLR. Its hard for the video cam to pick up the lights at night, it shows so bright.
I've been wanting to get these lights since I got the car but I never wanted to spend the cash. I said screw it and just bought them. These are the Euro versions. Big thanks to Bruce and Ricky for the lights/cables. Got Rickys lights in 2 days from freaking Hong Kong.
The cables are very well built and do exactly what they were updated to do, Rickys brake effect. They work and look fantastic. Haven't really seen them in action driving behind my car but I'd had others put the brakes on, and it looks so much better over the stock functionality with those ugly bulbs.
Here are some pics, makes the car look so much nicer and updated.
Normal look:
Brake look:
First in USA with the cables too

Didn't Bruce say that he has other features built into them as well in another thread?
They look effectively the same as when I mod the circuit board.

Looks good man. You pretty much did everything you can do to your tails in one hit. (unless you haven't done the HID reverse yet). Congrats 
My tails are still probably my favorite thing about my car.
(Thanks to Simon for the "Ricky" mod a couple months back)

Looks awesome. Maybe Bruce can ship out the cables now that there's feedback. It's a race to see who gets these on next.

I wonder if after a few months we'll start to see more people on the road with it?
