Wow! that is a great price. I have watching these on eBay for a while and nothing came close to that price. Very tempting.
damn...very tempting to get one at that price too...or maybe I should wait till someone design one w/bulit in resistors or something..

Getting a pair of resistors and installing them is easy. I don't think you need to wait for someone to come up with one with built-in resistors, which I doubt would happen anyway. I mean this is built by a factory (who doesn't read the forums, much less, understand the english language very well) and distributed through various mediums, not an enthusiast working out of a garage who can make an instant upgrade to his product due to feedbacks from fellow forum members.

I have had my LED lights for almost a year now i think. Mine plugged right in and everything worked fine. I have a 99 cab. They update the car and are super bright compared to OEM. I too paid $500 and wish i found them for $250 haha but at either price it's a great buy.

I just ordered them off Amazon -- got next day delivery for 3.99 so I'm supposed to have them tomorrow.

I've got an '03 C2 Silver with Black rims -- and ordered the smoke. Should look pretty awesome. I also ordered the 3rd brake light -- that will take some time to get here ......

I just ordered a pair too.... couldn't hold back. I'll report on the plug and play thing, but I'm pretty optimistic that they will be.

Thanks, I saw that but I was wondering the brightness of these during the daytime and compared side by side to an OEM LED Tail light(Porsche or non Porsche).

Amazon has the ones from Redlines which are 229 or so and the ones from Spyder for 500+. I wonder what the difference is?

got mine from Amazon today -- both lights have broken lenses. So I'm not even attempting to install them.

they do look like plug and play -- as they both have a resistor "looking" box mounted to the back of the case.

item will be shipped back today -- and looks like I'll be waiting a few weeks for a replacement.

They do not have these for the Turbo's. Your lights are not the same as ours.
