Just got my clear lens spoiler led
I have got to say it looks really cool!! It really is one of the cheaper mods. I don't have a digi-cam with me now but I will try my best to post pics either tonight or tomorrow. I really looks nice against the silver body color.

I installed it last night as well. I gotta say, the result is great. Did you also noticed that the gap between each LED is smaller on this? The stock light has only about 46 LEDs (I think) and the new ones have about 10 more, which makes it seem like it's brighter. 
Love it.

Did everyone get one?? 
I would love to see the pictures and see how it looks on the spoiler. It sure would go great with my WDP paint and Clear turn signals on the back of my 03.

It doesn't look ricey at all. A friend of mine hates ricey cars and he was skeptical of the result. After I installed it, he checked it out and really liked it. It made the back of the car looks more classy and goes really well with clear lens turning signals. Since I have a SSM TL-S, it matches really nice with the spoiler color. I don't exactly know the rules of posting other websites, but if anybody is interested, send me an email and I'll tell you where I bought it from.

Just curious though, why do you have your rear deck lid stop light on as well as the spoiler light?

So how much did this run you guys? And... How long was the install? quick and easy? It seems to be a little pinkish (the color when lit), do you think it matches well with the other brake lights?

Good looks man. You didnt get this piece yet did you. Im trying to find out how hard it is to really put in. People have said you gotta pull the whole old led light wire from the trunk to the spoiler out and some have said to just cut the wire at the light.

Okay so this bad boy just got delivered.
I got the four screws out of the existing spoiler/light fixture but I can't seem to get the light out. It feels like it is ancored on the left side where the wires are welded on.
Is there another screw hiding somewhere?
I tried yanking pretty hard but I didn't want to brake anything.

With a little muscle I got that sucker off. There was an adhesive strip behind the light fixture that was really tough to get off. I started on the right side put my finger between the light and spoiler and slid my finger to the left.
Another quick tip for you guys, the spoiler light does not light up with pressing lock/unlock on the keyless entry remote, you have to physically step on the brake pedal.
I love the look!
Pic with light on
Another angle with light on
Looking up at the light turned off
Night shot with flash
Night shot without flash
You will have to excuse the light rays, I was in a rush and the sun rays got in the way
Oh, and my other goodie that came today:
AC Vent trim

thx
At night it looks a little bit brighter, I think there are more leds inside the casing than the OEM. During the day it looks lighter and a little pinkish because of the lack of the red lens
One thing I noticed when I stepped back is that it complements the clear portions of the 02/03 tails perfectly.
I think I am going to head down to Home Depot today and pick up some water proofing seal of some kind. I am kinda worried about water getting inside the spoiler through the hole the wires are fed through. The oem lamp had a good amount of adhesive foam applied to both that hole and the entire length of the light.

Just curious though, why do you have your rear deck lid stop light on as well as the spoiler light?
You might want to check your state law (no need to get pulled over for no reason)
In quite a few states, if you have a spoiler light, the DECK LIGHT HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED. You are only allowed three brake lights in the back.
