they cause ecu issues and affect accelration, its been covered in most of the threads you "read" OP, thats why youre getting flamed, this data is in every taillight thread there is.. terrible.
They are a bad buy, and mine actually melted due to the cheap plastic and high resistor heat.

That is good to know, I guess I didn't find every taillight thread but there was nothing that specific in what I did find. Didn't mean to claim to have read everything, I meant everything that was easily found with a search for "aftermarket tail lights"
Thanks for the info bmccann101.
The 06's are a definite improvement over the ones I've got so I probably will go that route and just tint them a little bit. Maybe just tint the stocks a little bit for now. Even though everyone here hates that idea too so picky lol

I don't like the way they break up into 3 distinct sections. Also don't like the
white LEDS in contrast.

If the LEDs weren't white like that and there was a legitimate black tail lights then I'd be interested. They need to remove the bump on the lense and make the tails a little more stealth looking. I think it would be a good alternative to those of us that want to keep the black theme on our cars without having to tint our current lights.

oh sweet jesus already.. those are the WORST offenders yet. ^^


Those are the Z shpaed zig zag led lights..

guys.. seriously..
how many ppl who have owned them all have to tell you.. they cause electrical issues w your car that cause voltage issues that cause ecu signal issues and alter performance.. its very very weird, yes indeed, but its the way it goes.. and sure there a million ppl who say they dont notice anything.. but those are the ppl who probably dont even change their own oil and would notice it if it bit them in the @ss anyways lol.

cmon.. this is my last post, ubnsubd.. good luck in your quest lol.
