pics please
 
When you have a moment, I would love to see how they look.

I'll try to post pics before I travel next week. The look great and fit like OEM. Their site does have good pics too both day and night, Carlightpro.com. For the price I am happy with them and I did not have to hassle with having someone in Europe buy them and ship them. Plus if there are any issues CLP is right here and Sascha was great to work with.

After installation, did you have any warning lights on the dash show up or did the new lights throw a code? Some other owners that did this mod have talked about this problem. I checked out the website and they look really nice. Would appreciate more feedback on this if you have the time:)

I've had mine in for a week and a half, absolutely no warning lights. True plug and play.

I put one in last night in 15 minutes and the other today. I drove around and so far no CEL's. They now come with 2 additional resistors and supposedly will not throw CEL's. So far so good.

Lights from CLP come with resistors mounted in a small black box in the back of the lights. The box will rub against the paint slightly (behind the tail light housing.) After time, this wear's the paint (which is thinner in this area as it is not exposed. There is a potential that this could be a problem. A solution is to cover the area with PPF which is fairly durable and heat resistant.

Thats a good point Bob, I think I am going to tape (electrical) the resistors themselves.

There are resistors attached to the back of the light that are not rubbing that I can tell. The 2 additional resistors are loose but have 2 faced tape so you can bond them in the housing, I can't really see a problem but I may not have noticed.
