I would like it better if it had a red lens. But you cant beat LEDs. Nice upgrade.

I think it looks nice, but better if it was smoked. Looks kind of euro which is kind of a no go for me.

as i quote the last thread you should vht the light.

Why not just VHT the LED light instead of the stock one?

Did you have any problems with installation, or did it plug right in? What tools did you need?

I like it. I'd have to see it on my car though before deciding on whether or not so smoke it.

BTW, use some plastic polish and wax on that center filler and taillight covers!
