I've been interested in these ever since I spotted this new design. Was about to pull the trigger but if this goes down I'll hop in on this. I'm getting them either way.

The clear spot in the bottom of the lens is the turn signal. Comes as an incandescent bulb, but can throw an LED in there easy enough. Just need a resistor installed on each side if you don't already have them installed on your front signal/DRLs.
These are definitely not the same as the ones from a year or more ago. Neondials (or their manufacturer) was still R&D-ing these last summer and did not release them more than 6 months or so ago, iirc. I know this because I've been communicating with them about the tails ever since I did the fogs GB.
Anyway, still waiting to hear back from them. I'll report back. I have to admit that I'm surprised at the lack of interest so far though. We might not be able to make the minimum purchase amount unless a bunch more people chime in. Even then, probably 30% of people who SAY they're interested, won't pony up when it comes time to order. So... we'll see.

I'd be for buying a set of LED tail lights if they got rid of the separate turn signal and made a light that had two columns of LEDs that did running lights, brakes, and turn signals.
Also, the aftermarket headlights didn't really get popular until they got down to the $200~ price range.
Either way, good luck with the Group Buy.

I'd need some installed pics before I would be interested. Brightness is important, especially for those thinking of smoking them. I replaced my regular tail bulbs with LED's that turned out to be less bright because of the way the LED's projected directionally.

Alright guys, got some details on the GB:
- Need commitments from 15 buyers
- Price is $275 shipped to the lower 48
- Available in 3 different colors:
- OEM red
- "Euro" clear/chrome
- cherry red (I asked for clarification, these will basically be a smoked version of the OEM red)
I also asked about the light arrangement and what comes on when the brakes are applied versus running lights. They don't have a test vehicle, so asked if I could find out what our pin setup is. With that, they'll be able to tell us what lights are on when. Anyone have this info?
They also sent me some installed pics. I'm assuming that this is the best they've got.

I'm definitely in on the GP.
