Lol I kno ! But I'm literally waiting on anyone to chime in to see if I'm gonna install these things tonight. My car is bulb less right now and I'm just seein if I should put the old ones back in.
Thanks man appreciate ya trying ! I think I have to take a diff approach only cuz they are the V3s. Hopefully someone else can point me in the right direction.

Okay everyone good news! V3 Tritons are finally in working flawlessly. Huge thanks to JTS97Z28 and AZP-TL for all the help.
It turns out I didn't need any CLS module for my Gen2. What must have made me have problems was the tower LEDs cuz when I installed the V3s they were working right off the bat with the .24 ohm resistor I had already installed previously. So I bought a stock relay for nothing and it was over 30 bucks
( not refundable either )
I'm 100% happy with V3s and their output. It is definitely worth the price although most people are hesitant which is understandable. I will try to get some pics of them ASAP. And it is no joke that they are blinding if you look at them directly. Feels like a 5 series BMW with those crazy LED signals.
ANYWAY, I plastidipped my grill just to see what it would look like.
I didn't like the way it looked at all angles tho so maybe I will color match it in the future. I did leave the gray piece of the grill dipped black tho and it is subtle but I like it!
Here is a vid of what the car sounds like with the Stage 1 and Intake Resonator Delete.

Okay, finally time to post pics of the LEDs!
Here's a shot of the old LEDs. Sorry about the glare on both photos.
Here is the V3. DAMN!
I took this with my iPhone 5 real quick cuz it looked pretty cool. Just wish I had my DSLR with me tho.
Now for some better pics with the DSLR of the V3s.

The difference between this one and the others is just the fact that this one is a OEM Type S decklid lip. To my knowledge no one has made an exact replica of it because they are ridiculous expensive brand new from the dealer.

Clean, clean, clean! I love your car.
Night shoot worked well, but next time I'd find somewhere with better lighting, the yellow lights are kinda
