    yup..even when dimmed..its a whiter color than the the Yellowish stock bulbs...and the taps aren't gonna hurt anything,you don't have to strip, or splice the wire..even if you remove the tap, it leaves a very small hole in the plastic...#NoBrainer

    Well I installed mine today but had/have a few issues.

    One of the collars that go around the LED housing to fit the screws was too large to fit so I had to take a dremel and shave some off the collar to make it work.

    Then on my way home using the turn signals I noticed the right side one started to hyperblink after a few normal blinks, now anytime I hit the right hand turn signal it hyperblinks, left side is completely fine. I noticed on the website it says there are built in resistors to cancel that out so perhaps I have to warranty one of mine?


    Aside from that I absolutely love the way they look!

    Try turning your Hazard lights on for 5-6 minutes..sometimes the controllers need to "Learn" the vehicles circutry.....VLed Tech support suggested that to me....worked.:cool:

    Alright cool! I'm gonna go find some of those 3M ttaps then. Should have em at Home Depot I would assume. And the white wire that came in the box and plus into the control box is the dimmer wire correct?

    They only need to be tapped into hot headlights for the 12 and newer right? The 05-11 the Signal light is out when the headlights are on. I have an 08 and put the DTRL relay in (factory) and as soon as the headlights come on the signal lights go out. I don't plan tapping into the hot wire for headlight.

    Just put mine in.

    This Bulb is charred from stock DTRL... that concerns me.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    I do like how the amber bulb no longer shows through the lens.

    My thoughts/impressions in the day time. Really no brighter than the stock unit (I put one in and looked at them side by side). I like the crisp LED cutoff when the turn signal is on. I was really hoping they would be brighter than the stock units, as that's what was advertised and the reason I spent the $. Would I do it again... I'm on the fence.
