Yeah, I did. For 20 bucks I figured it was cheap insurance to keep the tails working properly, even though I have a 2003 I couldn't find a definitive answer to see if the adaptive brake lights started in 2003 or 2004, and granted my truck was built 2 weeks before the facelift started so I was banking on them making some changes in between cycles. I installed them with the tails, no flickering while running.

Like I said, they work awesome, besides the startup strobing sequence, but doesn't affect them in normal driving operation. Check the pins on your harness, I'm guessing they switched around taillight wiring over the 7 years of production, thats what happened to me.

Let me know how you do, you just need a really small flat blade screwdriver to release the pins from the harness. Obviously do it on your cars wiring harness, the harness for the LED tails is siliconed to be watertight
