@ cutterwolf, love the look with the SilverHorseRacing Honeycomb. I have the same honeycomb.
@ anyone that thinks LEDs don't fail, don't bet your life on it. I started out as an electronics technician, then did my undergraduate work in Computer Science and later my graduate work in Engineering Math and Computer Systems. LEDs will fail though at a much lower rate than incandescent bulbs. When they fail in an array like these lights, they are difficult or impossible to replace unless they are accessible and you can match the impedance and get the right color. So far I have not heard back from AM as to whether or not these LEDs can be individually replaced when they do fail.
@ anyone who has these in their hands and has not yet installed them. Can you post some pictures of the wiring harness on them and also where the control module is located? I currently have Web-Electric sequentials on my '07 and I did the recommended mod to make them not sequence when you step on the brakes. I have seem these Gen5s in video and it is obvious that the control module is triggered by the brake light voltage. I'm trying to see if the trigger input is spliced into the brake wire before or after going into the control module. The mod I speak of requires tapping into the hot wires going to the front left and right turn signals and using those voltages as the trigger for the left and right rear modules respectively. No turn signal, no trigger, but the brake light voltage goes through the module and all lamps light as one.
TIA

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to pop in and give an update! We're bringing the Gen5 taillights in and shipping them out as fast as we possibly can get them. We have hundreds of inventory coming in over the next 4 weeks and that should catch everyone up.
We've already shipped out thousands and pretty much anyone who ordered them should have them now, except for the orders that were placed last week or this week.
Hope this helps! We really appreciate all of your patience.
