Default Re: Anyone install LED Taillights?

the leds came in today. the auction said they were for up to '07 but I gave it a shot (I have '09). The stock from the H2 and the ones from the led's did not plug and play. I had to cut off both ends of all wires and after numerous tries finally found out what wire went to which. It wasn't necessarily black to black...

the instruction in the box said to use the resistor for 03-04 and not on the 05-08. When I was done hooking them up they seemed fine except the blinkers were going at about 3x the speed. After doing some reading I realized it needed the resistors and works fine now with them installed. There's also some red 3m tape (I missed it on the first one) on the resistors back so they won't bang around...

All in all I am happy with them and think they look great. There is small red reflector in the middle of each that takes away from the complete blackened look though (with the lights off daytime). It's more noticeable in person than the pics I saw before...

Here is a pic and I will post a daylight one tomorrow...
