Has anyone figured out what is the best LED reverse light to get? Also what additional resistors/parts I'll need? Thanks...

Maybe someone can photoshop it. I think any of the colors would look fine with it.

Mine come Wednesday according to UPS. I may wait a bit to install though, I'm still hoping someone figures out what LED reverse light bulbs/hardware will work...

Just ordered the 921's from Autolumination. They say they fit a 906. Will I need any resistors?

i just put mine on during lunch today. I got in in 4 days and i'm in bklyn ny. the only thing is that my left side brake ones don't light up. it lighted when i tested it so maybe the connection got a little loose. I have to check it tomorrow. I must say these lights are amazing, i got red and it's a nice shade like it has a slight tint to it. To the guy debating which color to get on his car any color will fit any color car, pull the trigger and order

All I can tell you is when I put the black lights on my car, all our mouths dropped open and the cameras came out. I really liked my overlays but when I saw the black lights on my car, it was a done deal.

Has anyone noticed any condensation on the inside of their lights? I left my car outside last night and today I noticed a small amount of condensation on the inside lense of my new lights. When installing I made sure to twist the plugs so that they were in the light good, but did not feel like there were as tight as they were in the OEM lights. Not sure if anyone else used silicon to seal theres up better. Please advise of thougts... it worries me that there is moisture in there and could potentially mess the light up.

Uh-oh - thats not good. If you're getting condensation, I wouldn't even wait then to get some silicone in there and cover up whatever holes are open .....

I posted on the other org that I had the same problem. Mine was on the passenger side though. I ended up unplugging and plugging in the turn signal a bunch of times. The only way I could get it to work right was to not plug it in all the way. I do not however feel 100% good about it.

I see some of you guys are having condensation issues, I'll pm instructions on what to do next. also if you guys can take pictures of how the bulbs are installed that'd be great.

Well today during lunch i finally got it working, I had to bypass the ground on my bulb connector because it seems like it was not making contact once it was pluged up to the led light. So i had to splice my black wire from before the connector on the factor harness to the black on the led harness there by eliminating the black to black in the connector. Taped it up very nice and thight and so far all is well

Also if you are having a problem with the connector, you can try to make sure that the wire connectors that go into the OEM plug, (coming from the lights it self) is centered and not bent or pushed to the side, cause if it is it wont make a good contact with the factory plug.

Where are the daytime shots. I got the same color but an 08 and I just ordered another pair (Black) to have until my replacement Red's come back because I got the original pair (red) damaged from UPS. This will help me decide on whether or not to keep the black or stay with red.

hurry hurry....

Once you ordered, how long did it take to get the tails? I am going to Atlanta on Memorial day and would like to pimp these down the highway. I am going with the black since I have the majestic blue.
