The only reason I'm ok with this is I think it is worth the risk. I find it embarassing the Prius and Accord have LED's and we don't.
But I agree with you and I'm nervous as well. Although I trust Mike would fix anything that happend.

But too small?? The size of the led circle is as large as the stock tail lights... do you think your tails are too small right now?

no the circle is find, but each individual bulb is 2 small... mean it would be sweet if they used larger LEDs and less of them... like the g35 rings would me PERFECT... reason i said i think the prius and accord LED look better is cuz they have the bigger LEDs which looks more professional.... these little ones... no offense to anyone... look like a toy

Load Resistor Question
OK guys... question
I'm having a problem with the blinker blinking too fast. I bought 2, 3 OHM load resistors and think I installed them correctly (they just go inline, on either wire right?) That didn't work though. Any ideas on how to fix this?

cathode (which is negative) and if you dont put the wires with the same polarities they wont work.

as far as the lights i'm not sure im going to be getting them at all at least not anytime soon.. I'm sure I'm gonna love em' and I'm gonna want em'; but I have a feeling they're going to be over $300 and thats just not in the budget right now since within the last month I finally installed the springs, the oem body kit, and a compustar alarm w/remote start...
the lights are a few months off if its more than $300. -- probably summer. i'm gonna try to do them and the angel eyes at the same time. -- after that the only thing left on my list will be hondata. -- oh and an M3 lip spoiler off of Ebay.

Moda! Help? :D
Hey guys... bump up for a question. I'm giving my lights to jmatthew34, lol and we're sitting here in my driveway, and i'm having a problem getting my lights to work now (the stock tails). Everything is working fine except none of the parking lights work. Insides, or outsides. Anyone have any advice on what this could be? I was thinking maybe a fuse but I can't find out if the parking lights have their own fuse. Anyone?
Moda?

I think 450.00 would be reasonable that is if you dont send out yours to get it replaced with another set. 500.00 is pushing it .. leds range from .79 to 1.50
per each diode depending on quality and MCD intensity. Once they got a system going they could do it with ease at least a bit easier than the first and second sets. I dont know about the scope of work involved but it is not easy I'll tell you that much, at least not the first and second ones arent.

I don't know about the details yet, and I haven't ask. It took them about a month to reply my first e-mail, so I guess they are busy. But once they release the details or if they send me any additional information regarding the LED retrofit on e-mail, I will let you guys know~!
