I'll capture the lights properly one day. The car will be at TORC for anyone attending. The reflection of the sky is making the lamps seem lighter than they actually are. Also, I have a black set coming in this week. It might make it in time for TORC also, but we'll see.

They aren't as bad as everyone is thinking (I hate chrome also). Anyone local want to come take a glance for feedback? lol

Black ones on CSM:

Blacked backing, clear lens. A few chrome accents around the reflectors. I hate chrome, but this actually works quite well.

Hope they used good quality LED, since many aftermarket LED tail light seems to have many premature failure on the LED

OSRAM LEDs. Working on the exact details for the warranty, but I'm pushing for a 3-year warranty. We'll see how far I can get

Were you the guy asking about trading @ TORC?

Probably wasn't me... I didn't goto TORC

One of my customer had TYC from the toyota dealer and it failed right after 1 year... so sucks for him...
But if you can do 3 year, that will be worth to get...

The clear "stripes" between each LED row is looking like chrome. It's actually clear. It's actually just the right amount to make it stand out and not be monotonous. I guess we'll see when they're available next month.

Who wants to buy some TYC's? :D

I really like these. Need to come off my TYC's first. :D


And the BCM xB2 posted a couple pages back... Chassis by Aaron Iha sticker... That dude is awesome. Wish I had the $$$ to have him do some work. Same with Max Fish of BioKustomz.

Thanks again for the pictures Digon.

Nick, a production set will be headed your way once in-hand. I also owe you a PM regarding the materail. Will-do in a few.

Pricing has been confirmed. Production has started (I only told him to make the Smoked and Black versions. The Chrome will also be available, but in super limited quantities. I don't foresee too many people ordering those). We are expecting to receive these in mid/late June.

MSRP: $349.

Warranty: 3 Years from Date of Purchase. This will cover burnt LEDs/Circuit Boards. I'll post full details of what is a valid warranty issue and what is not a valid issue when I get the full report.

I will hold an initial group buy once they arrive. I will create a post in the Sponsored Sales Section in the near future to start a list. Payment will not be due until the tail lamps are in.
