Default LED Signals and New Tail Lights

I said before that I would post a video of my LED signals - well here it is. Not the greatest quality, but you can see the cool instant on/off. I'm really happy with how they look.

Next up are the tail lights. I'm not happy at all with the fitment, but they look cool. Nothing a little weather stripping can't fix. These will also get the LED treatment once I have some more money for the bulbs.

Good work!

I had to silicone my tail lights too. I didn't want them getting moisture in them and fogging up all the time.

I got a set of LED's for the tails too and they look so much better than having red bulbs sit in there! Make sure you grab a LED Flasher if you don't already have one!

I'll need to consider getting LED's for the signals too! Not sure how I feel about the orange bulbs sitting in there.

Thanks!

Yep, I put the HD flasher in when I put the LEDs in. It makes the back ones flash a little faster than stock, but it's definitely not the hyperflash I was getting before. Once I get the LEDs it will look normal.

I have LED's in the back and they still blink slightly faster than stock. Perhaps the flasher is just set slightly faster.

I'll probably just loosen up the lights a little but and use a piece of weather stripping then tighten them back up. That way it at least looks a little more normal.

I also e-mailed the seller... he wants to see pictures so maybe I just got a bad set. We'll see.
