Ebay Gen2 LED Tail Lights Installed!

[SHO Continental]

I believe I'm the first to get them on. Any who... they will need the grote flasher to work correctly. It is only with the lights on and the brake applied that you get the fast signal flash. Lights on or off with no brake and the signal works fine. Lights off with brake and the signal also works fine. The wiring all plugs in perfectly, using the original plugs, they then go into the housings like normal. Perfect plug and play just needs the grote flasher. My only disappointment is with the design of the reflector. There's simply barely any reflector material on these lenses. I do like the clear lens though. Videos are on the bottom.

Very good fit


Wiring, straight forward, make sure the connector is the correct direction, they only plug in one way.



Parking lights. Don't seem to be very wide angle LEDs, I'm sure it won't be a problem at all for anyone behind you. But it's the details.




Brake comparison, lights are on. (Note my brakes were only lighting up the outer set on the stock lens.) My lights were tinted. The LEDs are MUCH brighter. Sorry I do not have a stock vs LED pic.


Videos, the signal is on in all videos.

Lights on.

Lights off with brake applied

I didn't get a video of just the signals by themselves without the brake or lights on, but I'm sure you can imagine what it'll look like.

Those look great! Need to get me a set......with a light smoke of course. It uses the stock bulb for the reverse lights, right?

And I want your trunk.

[spazmoid]

am i correct in saying that the turn directionals blink really fast in the last video?

yup, read the full post, thats why he needs the little flasher box thingy so it blinks correctly

How Much?

I have limited access with computers overseas as they block just about everything. Those taillights are SICK! I am curious on a price so i can budget myself accordingly. If i had to guess i'd say 250-300???

 

[spazmoid]

yup i forgot to read, but you would figure aftermarket lights would include the correct resistors to make it a true plug and play install

Scratch that. I found the price My next question(s) is about the grote flasher. How much?, where can I find one?, and how do I install it? I really want these to "protect" my SHO as I was rear-ended 2X's in my old SHO and don't wan't a repeat!!! If you can't see those things you have no business being on the road:zoom:

Very sweet. I want a set too!

 

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

Quick Question, how many flashers do you need? One per light or just one???

and where do you get one of these grote flashers?

 

[SHO Continental]

It is the Grote 44892, http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/cgi-bin/ryderfp/products/srm/oid/136565/erm/product_detail.jsp

It just replaces the factory flasher module.

 

[DDakRT]

and where do you get one of these grote flashers?

You can get one here, they're great people to deal with. Thank Ian (manySHOs) for the tip.

Those do look great Matt, and actually are brighter than I expected. How well built are they? Are they bright during the day? Some vids from further away?

 

[SHODOGG]

man I want those SOOOO bad...I just cant afford them right this second...

 

[ManySHOs]

Negative. The rate of flash is controlled by the flasher itself. Resistors are bad news. They get hot and melt things. The proper way to do it is to use an LED flasher.
