Yeah this perfect for everyone who already has LED tails, and for those who don't have either... now it's time to get both!

If I didn't already have LEDs on my Jaos roof spoiler, I'd get it. About time someone made some to replace the OEM light. I've had my LED 3rd for several years.

Alright, someone go ahead and buy one of these and let know if it's worth the $$. I'd like to upgrade my third brake light to led.

Is there any sealing area on those? I don't see anything preventing water or other crap from getting in there, or maybe I am just blind. Someone buy these so we can get some insight.

Can I ask in all sincerity what the benefits are for this? I at least understand with the HID's up front that they're brighter so that you can see better. What do these do?

Cack, IMO this mod has no real benefit...it's purely for looks. Personally, I'd like to have one to match my LED tails

I like the LEDs as it has be documented that people following have a quicker reaction time to brake as they illuminate quicker and are brighter

Exactly, LED's are way brighter and you can see them a lot easier, therefor they are much safer than tail lights using incandescent bulbs. Of course it's for looks, but also for safety as well.

That's what I understand as well. A split second sooner reaction time might not seem like much, but it can translate into many feet of earlier stopping distance for that driver behind you.

Off subject, but I was a bit surprised that Honda opted for LED tails in their '06 Accords, but then recently changed them back to halogen for '09s?

Gotcha. I am mostly interested in running some LED's to my truck bed for light. Just wanted to see if there were any other benefits to LED's.

Is this a study that was done? Link?
