I just upgraded the stock brake lights to LED. I LOVE the new look! I know that not everyone agrees, but if you like it and have been thinking about it, it's VERY easy.

I really wish they sold those here in the UK, I'd snap a set up, but it's the import charges that kills it for me. They look beautiful.

Oh I didn’t realize that. Figured there would be a bunch from China that would ship. Extra for coronavirus free ones, of course

I think they look awesome! What was the $$ expense, if you don't mind my asking?

Have you considered the headlights... you know, the newer look with the 4-square LED setup? That would look clean.

Great looking dog!

I'm not comforted that on the box Taiwan incorectly was spelled.

Keep the vids coming! Thanks!

Thanks! There were about $630 from eBay. I put the link in the description. They don't sell these exact ones on Amazon, but I put a link to a cheaper option via Amazon there as well (under $300).

About the lights... waiting on Fred's lights and I'll be doing another video on that!

I’m looking at doing this same upgrade, thanks for posting the vid! Curious what headlights you’ll be going with, the only aftermarket set I really like the look of are these:

You’re welcome! I’m just sticking with stock headlights for now, but I may do something similar to the ones you linked there eventually. I haven’t heard any great reviews on them though.
