the price cant get any lower than it is. i got mine from m1preformance on ebay. i think it totaled 165 and some change shipped.
its worth it. and looks good on BCP. once the pollen goes away and i take a stripe off the car, ill take pics.

I found LED Halo ring headlights for my xb on ebay for $97 for the pair. Hell of a deal, brand new (guess they mustve accidently listed too low) Now Im looking for the carbon fiber LED tails...

great DIY write up 1epoxy... i just wanna get a good idea if everyone is having a leak problem or just a few bad seals?
i have the upgraded TYC's from the dealer.. and i want to know how the fitment of these LED tails compares?
i really like these lights.. but were skeptical of them because no one on ebay really mentioned the brand name of the lights.. and u always hear about bad quality tails and headlights on ebay.
any input from current led taillight owners would be appreciated!

Does anyone know for sure what flasher part# we need to run the led bulbs?

Check out the bottom of this page, it has the resistors and the flasher unit (CF18-08 ). I use the resistors, so not sure how well the flasher unit works.

I didn't want to tap into my wires so the flasher option is what I'll do if I go led front and rear. Plus those resistors will add up if 4 of them are needed.
On a different note. Has anyone added an LED 921 bulb to the upper brake light. I ordered a led 921 bulb for it so all the brake lights will hopefully match.

the problem is since LED's are "directional" the 3rd brake light is angled so its not bright but you can still see the 3rd brake light light up during the day. but dont be dissapointed that its not as bright as a regular bulb. maybe what i would do is get a LED strip and fabricate a mount to mount them and make it look good that way.

My 921 bulb came from superlumina and is called super white Matrix so it might differ from the one you used.
I wonder if a strip of leds could be mounted inside the the 3rd brake light housing right behind the red lens?
The main concern for me is that it lights up at the same speed as the other two.
