LED Tails

[3GFX]

Well, after an install which took 2 hours in total opposed to what should have been 20mins, I am extremly happy with my LED taillights. The brake and signal lamp housing took a total of 10 minutes to do, but the reverse housings were a royal pain.

First of all I must explain that it wasn\'t two hours of work, just 2 hours to complete. The foam had to crush into itself to allow me to tighten the assembly flush with the panels. And this was the main time factor. The way the reverse housings are held to the trunk make them extremely hard to line up on first try I had some bad gap variation. But after crushing the foam, and readjusting every 15 - 20 minutes, I got the entire assembly installed. And I must say it looks great.

Thanks again to Devin for the wonderful product, I will take more \"proffessional\" shots when my brother gets time to do another photo shoot, but if you want the larger size/better quality photos below, let me know.


PS Word of warning!!! The turn signal bulbs (7440) are clear. NO ONE and I mean no one carries amber blinking (aftermarket or oem) bulbs. Contact devin for them, or ebay (which I\'m doing right now ;))

PPS Mazda, please redesign the way the reverse housings are held in place. Plastic clips holding the edge of the panel will not do. The outter housings bolt to the unibody, why can these?

Lights look great on black, have the same ones...fyi i got my bulbs from www.silverbulbs.com. They are the chrome covered to hide the amber, because i wanted to keep the effect. They were cheap and they look great.....

Looks great on the black, great work. You are right the reverse can be a PITA to install, there are a few tricks to it though :p
