    They look good blacked out like that against the white! I guess I'll need these after I finish stage 2 install. I got my turbo last week and the downpipe and other goodies show up today!! Thanks for a great video :)

    My main concern with these LED sealed lights is how hard it is to repair them if they break, not as easy as an normal bulb

    I’ve had mine for about two years and just replaced 1/4 of the lights because the LED’s were messed up with their colors.

    I bought some this past summer from the Vland website and it was very easy to install. There were no wires I had to splice, and the little control boxes from the outside lights also came on the trunk lights so it was just a wire from the body to the trunk. The website and amazon were both $250 when I bought them from the website

    Is the Braille battery so weak that it will die with just a few seconds of testing the lights? I know those things are lightweight but I thought they had more juice than a standard wet battery too, and you can run the lights on a standard battery for quite some time before it dies. I know this is a taillight video but I’m interested in those Braille batteries, they seem like black magic. Lol

    It's a Canbus decoder. Basically a little computer to translate the cars signals for proper communication with the lights. They're not dangerous if they're made properly and installed in a space large enough for passive airflow.

    There's definitely a few quality issues like the fitment and wiring, but the materials feel pretty good and other's have said they're still going strong light wise even after a few years.
