If the .001% of the time that they're on is during braking, I think your math is a bit dodgy. That would mean that you brake for only 6.336 inches or less per mile, although that could be the case on a long distance drive with no traffic.

If the .001% of the time that they're on is during turn signals, you would be wrong in my case. I'm in my late fifties and might have my turn signal on for 50 or 60 miles on a 100 mile trip.

Haha yeah. The GT3 suspension, swaybars and new drop links are going on when I feel like getting around to it...... I also just got done with exhaust and headers, and need to get the tips back on...... Whst a mess right now but it should look better once everything is back on lol.

The lights are a lot more subtle looking than people expect them to be. You hear LED and automatically think bling bling ricer, and that's not the case......

Thanks for the pics,

The fit and finish looks great. How does it compare when lit up at night to OEM?

They light up just fine, and the LEDs are super bright (not in a bad way). The smoked version isn't that dark, so it's not really a big deal..... I am definitely pleased with this mod. Hopefully i can get the car back on the road soon......
