Essam, you need to get some silver bulbs to clear out those reflexions from the orange bulbs

Someone wanted to see the close up of the tube:

And MTX5, here's why I think these lights matches with the clear corner headlights.

I guess one of the things I like about these lights is that it's more transparent / "see thru" than the original lights (more Glass feel vs Plasticky). You can see a lot more details / depth on these lights, whereas you only see the flat cover from the original one. Look at Essam's before/after photos.

Simon, I have the silver bulbs... found them here locally ... but I am too lazy to put them on ... you will say it is easy, and I would say it is not! ... I have a custom sub on the passenger side and it takes a lot of time to be removed

Will put them on when I have time

I knew my ears were burning.. (my name being called..)

Yea if you have the sub it's a PITA to remove the tail lights.

Glad my #1 customer is satisfied!!! Glad you found the silver bulbs.. These look great.. i want them back.. or i'm sending you another paypal bill LMAO..

Someone asked about the post 04.. for some reason they do flicker.. i have them on mine now and will have to put some resistors on or something. Unless Tom can figure out another way. lol. Tom - yeah yeah i know. put resistors.. will do that on friday / Saturday.

i know have the red with smoke turns.. they look great..

Nothing to add here, sorry. Just wiping the drool off my chin after checking out those good quality pics of Essam's & Simon's LED tails. Looking forward to checking out Rasta's too.

C'mon Essam, get those silver bulbs in. Gunna look much better.

Ekvals, you going down this road as well ??
