I have those. They look good, I don't know if they last. I've only had them a couple months. The fitment is ok but not great. The rubber seal doesn't sit right on mine and gets pinched. The bolts are also a little short; not the easiest to install compared to stock.

Guys, there seems to be some confusion going on. Hyper flash would only be an issue if you put an LED bulb in the TURN SIGNAL location (which is the clear square at the bottom of the light). THIS IS NOT A REVERSE LIGHT LOCATION. They come with a standard halogen signal bulb, as you can see in the pitcures. If you put an amber LED in there (which I'm going to do), you'll need to install a resistor on each side as well to prevent hyper flash. You WONT have to do this if you already have LED's (and resistors) installed in your signal/DRL locations up FRONT though. IIRC, they're on the same circuit, so resistors are only required at one location (of each side).
To answer some other questions...
1) The pictures they provided are of the OEM red lights. They don't currently have stock of the other 2 colours (I'm Canadian, it's spelt correctly in my country lol) yet. The chrome and cherry red are completely new products. By the sounds of it, they don't have pictures yet, but I will definitely try to get some.
2) Sorry man, but it's highly unlikely that I'll be getting a video of how these things work. As stated, they (the vendor) don't have a test car. Pics are just from customers who have sent them in.
3) Here's some more info they've provided after some questions I had for them:
So, as for the GB... I'm not going to have people start sending in money until we get pictures of the other colours and they have a decent number in stock (so we can all get what we order in a timely manner). I've seen lots of "I'd be interested"'s and non-commital comments, so I'd like a little clarification from you guys. Including anyone who's shown any interest, we have 17 including myself... here's a list. PLEASE advise if you don't have any intention of actually coughing up the dough to order these when the time comes.

We currently only have the OEM red in stock at this time as we are currently still awaiting shipment for the cherry red and chrome one at this time. For the OEM red, we don’t know the exact lumen output for these but compared to other OEM LED tail lights, I would say the out for the OEM red is comparable in brightness. We don’t know exact what chipset it use as it would require breaking open the tail light so unfortunate we can provide that to you.
Testing the tail lights on our end, it does not appear to have a function where the led bar in only on for the running light function. I’ve taken note of each function for each pin so I will pass that along to you.
E F G H
-- -- -- --
-- -- -- --
D C B A
A – 50% Bright for nodes and bar
B – 100% bright for nodes
C – signal
D – ground
E – no pin
F – 50% bright for nodes and bar
G – 100% bright on nodes
H – side marker light (parking)
That is the info that we currently have on the pin setup and it does confirm at this time no function for just the LED bar.

UPDATE:
Neondials is expecting the cherry red and euro colours tomorrow or Wednesday and will provide me with pics to post ASAP. Again, they don't have a test car so there will not be any installed pics, but they assured me they'd take lots of pictures of the lights.
They also set out the payment guidelines. Each person will send payment to them via PayPal, with a special code in the comments that will indicate the Group Buy. Once 15 payments are received, they will begin filling the orders.
I need confirmations, guys... It's time to giddy-up!
Down to 16...

I knew that Neondials sounded familiar. I bought my clear fogs from them back in 2011. They were also VERY helpful when part of the wiring harness was screwed up & sent a replacement, in fact sending a replacement before I could take pictures of the problem & emailing them the pics.
I'd definitely do business with these guys again.

Laygo - Yah, I was part of a GB for the clear fogs from these guys a couple years ago. That went very smoothly, and I've been harassing them about the tail lights ever since. At the time of the clear fogs GB, they hinted that they might be getting into the tail lights too, so I just kept bugging them for progress/status...
