Whoops my bad about capacitor location. I was going from memory (Which was wrong)! :)

No sweat 4MoJoe. I think the idea for putting on the LED-side wire harness is twofold:

1. Regulate the current coming into the LED wires from the source
2. Not to mess up the factory wires if you need to troubleshoot any wonkiness and to prevent the dealer for blaming you for tampering with electrics.

I checked mine this morning and that is how mine is installed. I got my capacitor from Lightwerkz as well. I really love the look of the new lamps and the tailgate replacements make it look a bit more updated. Kind of a crappy picture but an idea.

Bought mine too from zomkspeed about a year ago - they work great! Very easy to install and simple plug and play on my 2002. The one thing that really intrigues me about these tails is the ruby-red color they give off at night - very sexy. The OEMs were a tinge on the reddish-orange color. :confused:

Question....installing the capacitor is only relevant to the 04-06 models right? I have an '02 and was look at get one of these set.

I have searched and spoke with Zoom, they are not aware of a set up for the 06.. If anyone has a suggestion, I am all ears.

Thanks.

mine is a 2003 & i had to get the capacitors because they were flickering !
i've had them on since july 2009 & just about a month ago i started having issues with the driver side , 2 of the leds will start to flicker when i turn the lights on for about 5-7 minutes & then they will just go out !!!
i sent an email to zomk asking if there is a fix or any waranty 2 days ago & still no reply !!!!
anyone else had a issue like this ? & if so is there a fix ?
thnx guys.

I received a response from gt-racers, they are not aware of any source for model year 06!!! Crap!:dunno:

Many of 06 owners on this board have these LED's rear fitted to their car too.
