I left the dust caps off too instead of drilling them to pass the wires through. I'll probably just drill them and put a grommet in. I want everything to look stock.
Sure, any time. Here is the link to the Combo Kit I got for the 3rd Brake lights on Ebay for $220 (Trunk 3rd brake light, Wing 3rd brake light, Resistors and Clips and LED License Plate Bulbs).

You might want to read this thread for the side markers.

One of my lights suffered a crack from UPS shipping. David was great and got the issue resolved. Love these lights and thank you to Revolution Motorsports for great customer service.

Finally!!!

After almost two months, I finally received my Dectane tail lights from Orange Tuning. There was some issue with USPS holding the package and blaming DHL!
Unfortunately, Frank wasn't as helpful with this issue as I expected, but all that matters is that the lights are installed. It was worth the wait!
Here are some pics:

Those are the smoked version. Pics were taken at noon under direct sunlight, maybe that's why they look clear. I'll post more pics taken in the garage just for comparison.

Not really my cup of tea on the clears and also don't like the fact that the leds aren't all angled to the rear as it makes the ends of the taillights look dim or not even on when looking directly from the rear. Yes I'm nit picking and OCD. Just my $.02

Did any of you had to put resistors with all tail lights and 3rd brake light? if so, did you use them for the tail lights? I am using resistors on another car and they get really hot! wonder how you installed them if so...

Thanks!

These LED taillights come with the resistors installed already. Just plug and play with no errors.

The ends of the taillights do not light up with the brake. The are all on with the regular lights (like a rectangular). When the brakes are pressed, only the three sides on the lights light up, the one side that does not light up is the end one which you mentioned (its like a right angled "C"). You have to see these in person to really appreciate how good they look.

Thanks Zeeeeeee, so the usage of the LED 3rd brake light will not require the resistor...
Any update on your lights project? I'm looking forward to it, specially on the installation of the HID kits on your headlights...

Cheers,

No, I have the 3rd LED Trunk Brake light as well the 3rd LED Wing Brake light. They do not have resistors and work fine. The LED tail lights have resistors already attached to the backside and are pre-wired. No issues.

Not yet, havent had time. Been extremely busy. Goal is to do it the first week of October otherwise the next available weekend I have is the first week of November. Hopefully, I can get it done in October. Ill keep you posted.
