Relax... there is nothing, absolutely nothing that can be done to a POS ricer that would make it cooler than a p-car... let 'em think what they want - you can remind them that the reason they're driving a POS ricer like that all tricked out is because they couldn't afford a Porsche of any flavor...

A p-car with the all clear taillights IS a ricer.. And that is what I am talking about..

Tucker, I have already asked the manufacturer to make one for our cars but haven't heard back. Rest assured I will let everyone know if they decide to make one.

Z, greeting from the space city (Houston ), I don't see a problem for us to ship the lights across the ocean and have done that before with our kits. The brake lights and turn signals work as OEM. We were just trying to take pics of the lights lit up. Great idea on youtube, I'll try to get one up sometime this week.

We don't have the red/clear in stock just yet. We will hopefully have the shipment cleared from customs this week and I'll take pics and videos

Ok, If we get 20+ I'm in with that new price you haven't gotten around to posting yet
20+ would be great I can lower the price if you all decide to pick up After shipping, if I lower the price anymore, I'd be giving these away at cost

If an LED goes out, what are the options (& cost) to fix it? Do you have to buy an entirely new assembly?
A great and valid question and one that I personally don't know the answer to. Of course, we will pass on whatever warranty the manufacturer offers. I will ask and get back to you. Rest assured, I will post this info in the GB thread.

... you know, when I was told we bought the all-clear ones (We had to buy all three), I asked the owner of PP... "do you think you can return the all clears?" With that said, who am I to determine what people want so I am just offering all options available to the public... please don't shoot the messenger

I'm not a fan of black tail lights but i think the all clear would actually be the perfect lights to get painted black. Black tail lights tend to end up with this brownish red tint still and maybe using these they would be solid black like the novitec ferrari lights

Ok Edwin, I will keep an eye on all this including the answer to pilots question (that is a great question!).
thx

Yeah...+1 frog

Going all clear will no doubt ruin the look of any Porsche, BMW, MB, Audi, etc...
Goes on a 911 like fuzzy dice and curb feelers on a lexus

To each their own, no insults intended, just saying

I'm interested as well if they're truly 'plug n play' without adding resistor modules or causing issues with the existing systems functionality.

I second the request for adding a Youtube video about them, including installation and normal operation of all functions.

Please let me know if a GB starts.

Safe to assume that these meet the DOT taillight brightness standard, whatever the hell that is?

There is no need to add resistors. I will post videos as soon as I can.

As a disclaimer with all aftermarket lights, these lights are for off-road use only. I do not know if they meet the Department of Transportation guidelines.

Ok, in light of all the interest for these LED lights, I'd like to propose this: If a seasoned (over one year membership) 6speed member would like to come to our shop and test fit the lights, plug it up, take pics and a video, and post up their objective opinion, please pm me. In return, when the shipment comes in, I will give you a discount but you will have to go pick up the lights from the shop. The shop is in Harbour City, CA.

What do you all think about that? I think that's a fair proposal... that way everyone knows what the product offers and get it from a non-Precision person.

Edwin
