    LED Taillights - Opinion?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey Guys!

    Getting some cosmetic things done with the car and thought I would share. Swapped out the taillights for these plug and play LEDs:

    I love the look of them! But just wanted others opinions as well. I am going for the "not too aftermarket, classy yet updated" look.

    Just had a coolant leak tracked down and have to replace motor mounts, valve cover gaskets, plugs, and coilpacks... Once I'm past all that expense there will be a lot more "upgrades" coming...

    Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

    I like these as well, they're different but definitely look updated. Two thumbs up!

    since it's subjective, I'm not a fan...looks like you just blacked them out to the casual observer. They do look better in your "night" pic, but they just don't look that great to me. FWIW, I But I have seen some aftermarket LEDs which look decent and some that emulate the newer C7 look, less white more red. But if you want eye-catching, I'm waiting for something like this...talk about a distraction ;)

    Thanks Guys! I am really liking them so far! They are a little darker than I wanted, but I love the light piping.

    Does anyone have (or know where to locate) the brake light wiring diagram? I am having some issues with the turn signals and brake light. I assume this is a wiring issue, but I need the diagram to be sure.

    What do they look like when you hit the brakes?

    That is part of the issue at the moment. After install I have tail lights and reverse lights, but no brake lights or turn signals. Seems like a simple wiring issue. I am trying to track down the wiring diagram for the brake harness now. If anyone has any good leads, it would be greatly appreciated. Good news is that the seller has already contacted me regarding the wiring and they are looking in to it. I will keep you posted.
