LED taillights question

Only one light is lit... Drivers side.. you won't get both unless you run a wire across the trunk.. But really, do you want it to look like you have your brakes on,,?

An alternative is to spend $11 on VHT Nightshades in Red and paint the orange away!

Looks like a 550, but don't tell anyone it's not.

I placed LEDs elsewhere - interior (blue w/white map light), LEDs on mid brake strip, LEDs in side markers that have been converted to turn signals, LED's in turn signals to round it out! I have the "splicing tools" to do ALL the rest in LEDs - just not wanting to cut up wiring.

Those lights are nice but you may be able to do more with less. To each their own.

I sure do! I only use my double fogs on the freeway when some Ahole is riding my bumper. A quick on and off sets him back another car length and I didn't have to turn off the cruise control (by tapping the brakes).

I purchased the Depo tail light's and followed the instructions in the link below and now have LED turn signals and tail lights. Had to install resistors and instruction step #5 is incorrect. I had to install one resistor wire to the black wire and the other to the red to prevent hyper blink.

Not sure it was worth the trouble but I like it.

These are what I fitted to my 2002 Boxster S Artic Silver, I think they look great, more in keeping with the factory Litronic I have at the front .

Crogers106:
You can install a LED Flasher relay instead of the load resistors.
3 PIN ELECTRONIC LED FLASHER BLINKER FIX 1157 3157 7443
This will stop the hyper blink without putting load resistors across the power leads.
The relay designed to handle the lower current draw.. Load resistors can heat up, hence the heat sink they put the resistor around..
