Yes its true, Im contemplating putting a resistor in the wire that powers the lowervoltage taillight so that its dimmer. The difference between tail and brake is not as much as I would have liked. Although if you'e following me and don't see the top mount factory LED's light up when I brake you're blind

I should have taken a video with the turn singal on as well, because when you use the hazards you don't get the hyperblink, but with only the turn signal on you do. I did not put the load resistors because I actually like the fast blink. It accentuates the instant on/off of LED lighting. Hyperblink on a standard filament bulb sucks since it fades on and off when you blink too fast it all kinda blends together, not with the LED's

That looks awesome!

How hard was it to replace the rear turn signal's? Also, what was the hardest part of the install?

Just placed an order for everything that was listed (except the license plate LED's) + four load resistors. Install will be next week since I'll be heading down to my tuning shop for some other work and will have them install the LED's as well. Can't wait =)

At http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157.htm it says "Do not use LED bulbs in the same housing with head lamps, the heat will cause them to fail quickly". Are there problems associated with using these in the headlight housing?

Aside from that, +1 Hoping to see a video of the hyper flash

I used to like the fast blink, but it will get annoying after awhile, especially when you are sitting on the turning lane and it's taking you a long time to turn. I have the load resistors and i'm glad i got them

Hey Jun, you only need four load resistors correct?
