Called them the next day and Caesar not only had the necessary capacitors, BUT also installed them for me in about 3 minutes. Total cost $30.
They look great, much brighter, and IMHO - much cooler than the originals. Here's a couple of daytime photos...and I dont know if you can tell the difference, BUT I like em.

Ed, those look great! thank for putting up your experience with them. I actually pm'd lightwerks regarding the capacitors, still waiting to hear back from him. I want to go with the same exact set up, red/smoke. However I am having a hard time finding them on EBAY, the only red/smoke I see are for regular bulbs, not LED.
Do you find that the LED tails with the capacitors installed are at least as bright or brighter than the stock taillights?
Thanks again
