LED Tail Lights Installed

[WillL]

Yeah I wish they came with the LED turn and reverse lights. I don't think it would be too hard to pull the lights apart, I'll have to try with the stock ones now that they're just sitting lol. I used plasti dip on the rear emblem.

Oh im soooooo jelly that im peanut butter! I found LED panels to make the signals and reverse LED, but i'd be scare to pull the housings apart. I think im just going to use LED bulbs instead...

Very nice, too bad Hyundai decided to low ball these features on the North American version.

Looks very nice. How long did they take to arrive and was there any duty or taxes above the initial cost plus shipping?

Does it have the mandatory side-markers?

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. Oh what I would have paid to have HIDs and LED tails come from the factory!

It took exactly a month for them to arrive. But other than paying the original amount plus tax, there were no other expenses. I was really surprised lol.

If the rear turn signal bulbs are easy to get to, changing those to LED isn't too hard. I was going to do it with the front bulbs in my 02 bimmer. The big pain with that is running resistors. When I looked into this a while back, there was no straight plug and play solution and resistors were needed. That can get messy, and those things get warm. PITA to mount too, depending on the car. But all very do-able.

Yup. The BMW check control system uses resistance to detect problems in the system. If the bulb doesn't draw exactly what the computer thinks it should, the "tail light out" warning comes on and won't go out. I've even had issues with some very slight corrosion in the bulb housing and trigger the system.

Nice lights OP. Give us an update in 6 months or so to see how they're doing!
