[Eric Smit]

But it's a "direct fit." ;P If nobody buys a set by November, shoot me a PM and I will.

If only they had that for the sedan. I have been looking for an LED set.

 

[MrSonic]

hmmm $275 for that??

LED's >$10
PCB >$10
LED Driver $5.50
New tail light for testing: $75
Bits and stuff I'm not remembering: >$25

Total: $125.50

I'm really thinking about it, So that being said if I can find time we'll call it $175 shipped?

better yet no new tail lights just finished parts $75

Read over that ebay listing, your only getting the parts no new lamp unit...

$175 for right and left finished set
$75 for just the parts right and left not finished
Note: i'm not giving you a lamp*

estimates are kinda high priced b/c i'v never looked into the unit, if it's easier then I think It should go down..

 

[Eric Smit]

ah, good eye. I didn't even notice.

One flaw in this estimate for me is the value omitted for time.

Soldering, resistance mathing, trips to the electronic store, labor ~ no less than 4 hrs. And that's excluding Murphy's Law

4 hrs of my time is worth more than a cpl hundo's.

They look nifty, but I'm not too confident these would last. I've seen plenty of aftermarket LED taillights turn ugly with several burnt out LEDs.

That's the only problem I have.
LED's aren't all the same quality. Is some Ebay seller really going to stand behind the product? If so, for how long?

... And full sedan replacement plz.

Apparently a link is already posted for the sedan

Soooo, I decided to take the initiative on this LED kit. This thing doesn't come with any kind of instructions. I'm guessing the taillight cases have to be separated to install these.

I'm pretty fluent when it comes 12v DC wiring. I'm a little confused with the wiring of the resistors. The resistors clearly say turn for the red wire and ground for the black wire. Do the resistors wire in series before the blinker LEDs or after the blinker LEDs?

Also there are no Brake or Reverse LED resistors. Is it safe to assume that they wire in directly?

 

[klystron]

It does not matter if the resistors are before or after the LEDs.
