Alright. First impressions? I love em!!! They are really bright and they look great. I thought I'd have that ABS light issue, but it never came on. So, now I have an extra set of resistors for my front turn signals

As for the new LED bulbs, they are hella bright as well! The design of them makes it so that it really fills out the reflector and the lens and it's bright from every angle. The turn signal bulb is actually longer than a normal bulb, so you can see it better from the side. The reverse lights are pretty bright too. Although, this was all after the sun had gone down tonight. Tomorrow will tell if they'll pass the daylight test.

So far I'm very impressed with my new purchase. I'll be sure to get some pics for ya'll and maybe a movie or two of the turn signals and such.

This is a mod that truly is an upgrade in looks and safety but I'm going to have to wait a bit longer for them since a T-belt/water pump job was needed plus my stock speakers have been bugging me so I upgraded those so maybe the LEDs up next.

We've pretty much determined the ABS issue only happens to people who have LED tails and LED third brake lights. If your 3rd brake light is not LED, then you should be fine.

Unsolicited music on web sites is a complete turn off.

Haha yeah, I'd have to agree with you, LED tails are definitely a turn on.

Has anyone had any issues with their tail lights? I just noticed tonight that the first vertical row of LEDs on my left tail light is not lighting up. So only 12 of the 16 LEDs are lighting up. I'm not quite sure what to do... what kind of warranty do these have? It's probably just a loose electrical connection, but I would rather have the warranty cover it than open it up myself. Suggestions/help?

I have yet to experience issues with my LED tails. Sucks to hear you're having problems.

Did you purchase them from Burtman? If so, I'd email/call him. He takes good care of his customers.

I would contact whoever you bought them from and let them know of this issue.
