The red looks fine, very OEM, I thought the smoke looked great on smoke honestly...

I agree!! Smoke on smoke looked great, especially if you have smoke rims - but any of them would work.

well so far in total I only have about 30 orders, not bad, but considering there were more than 90 people on the list , but there still time you guys have the rest of today and tomorrow to order at this price after that, you are looking at around $100 more, remember I got a special price because I bought so many and I was the one who sent them the idea, other distributors have to pay more than me, that is why you see the $450 on ebay, guys dont miss out on this one, it'll be a while until you see this type of prices again.

MAX2DAMAX, how many orders do you typically need to develop something like this?

I am really thinking of getting 4th gen crew on this

Now I think I should have ordered the 'black' ones to better match the smoke grey color of the whip. I am sure the red I did order will look good also, but it's hard to tell the difference between the smoke (which looks like chome) to me and the chrome (which looks white-ish). Hell, maybe I should have ordered 1 red, 1 black, 1 smoke and sent the other 2 back........Any input on the dark smoke grey car? Anyone have this color and put the LED Tails in yet??

If I remember correctly, there were no orders before he took it to IPCW. But he did give them the link to thread so they could see the 6th genners stirring....

As some of you guys might know already, lights are getting shipped out, I just dropped off half the orders, the other half is going out tomorrow, , thank you all,

O yea, and I did mention once that IPCW was doing the drop shipping for me, but I decided to pick up the lights and ship my self, I needed to get a little more profit out, in order to finance the other projects I have going on, so bear with me guys,

The tails have resistors built in. I had the 3ohm for the front and back leds so once I hooked this up they didn't turn on. I took them off and it was fine but now I need to get 6 ohm's for the front.....

Those two pics are pretty cool!!! They were taken in the same spot about 2 years apart. It shows how motivation and guts can get things done, and the guys that designed these and Max2damax got it done.

When you do the install, do you have to remove a trim piece also? I've seen the 2 bolts, but want to make sure I do it right. It just seems like the tail lights are tucked behind a piece of trim near the trunk.

I liked it until I seen how the brake lights is placed. I still have to see how the red one looks. I still love the placement of the rest of the light though. Contemplating on ordering them for my max.

Question, I just got my white led lights replace on reverse will that still be able to be used on the new lights?

How tough is it to get the tail light off? I was thinking of banging on the ends of the 2 bolts in my trunk with a rubber mallet. Any suggestions/tips on getting the tail off are greatly appreciated.

just installed yesterday, my suggestion is to tape the bottom like they have shown and when u take the rear screws off the whole taillight assembly will loosen up a bit enough for you to pull out towards you. Dont really recommend hitting with a rubber mallet because you got about 4 corner clips that need to be pulled out. I simply pulled from the top straight back towards me and it came off
easy money...lol
