Granted it would be slight, ever wonder why Semi have all led lights............MPG and longer bulb life. Any drop in battery load is a good thing

yeah but at the same time, instead of 2 plain bulbs there are like 50 LED ones, so I would think any "HP gain" would be pretty non existent.

Um ok.......

Guess you don't know how LED'S work ???

Benefits of LED Lights:

Longer Life

Lower Power Requirements

Less Heat Output

Deep Saturated Color w/o filters

I know perfectly well how LEDs work, thanks though. Saying I'm going to gain an icrement of HP from putting in LED bulbs is absurd however lol.

R Model 07, how are yours doing so far? My pass side rear taillight has been acting stupid since I put these in. They sometimes work great and then sometimes they won't blink at all and my blinker blinks really fast. And I was told my pass taillight doesn't work all the time either when I hit the brakes. I havent discovered if it is the sequential taillight kit that is doing it(yes I've rehooked the wiring up twice now and it still does it) or the actual module on the lights is failling. My driver side light does it once in a blue moon but for the most part it seems to be ok. I'm thinking about throwing the stocker back in and seeing if that solves the problem.

I'm not having any problems that I'm aware of with the tails. I never bothered with installing the modules, they worked fine without them. Anyway, yeah, I'd try the stock harnesses. I have the CDC harness, btw. I seem to recall yours was a different brand?

In the meantime, the CDC panel peeled off on the passenger side edge. It's curve didn't match the trunklid's out of the box, and I may end up having to take a heatgun to it or something. I'd like to just get rid of it completely and have the holes (keyhole included) filled, but don't want to spend the money on that right now. My girlfriend thinks it looks kind of cheap anyway

yeah my panel is doing the same thing haha. I love how everyone swears by this 3M tape stuff but I've had no luck with it. Oh well. I may try disconnecting those modules.
