UPDATE:
Went to two places yesterday to find a replacement flasher....Schucks had one, but i installed it and it flashed FASTER! Went to AutoZone and picked up a Tridon/Stant Electronic EP27 flasher for about $12. Works flawlessly. I think on the first flash of a signal, it 'holds' the light a little longer than normal, then blinks normally.
so yea...i got the flasher problem figured out.

the third light that you "modded" into the taillight, underneath the reverse light. Basically do you think you could fit the L1224R into it? (instead of the 906 or whatever size bulb you stuck in there?)
sorry if I'm still being vague

looks wicked pissa. when i was watching your video u posted i noticed your driver side light illuminates befor your passenger side. im not sure if i was seeing something but towards the end of the video they finally seemed to sync with one another.
Big safety advantage ftw!
None of the pics or videos can really capture the color difference.

If you read the posted PDF, there is a 24' distance at travel speed between the time it takes for the LED to reach full brightness, compared to the incandescent bulb. More than 1 car length can make a huge difference.

Yea...i suppose it'll fit. But i eliminated that mod when i went to LED. I just didn't dig the 'weirdness' of it being a back lighted reflector.

Yea....the pics really suck. IT's sooooo dang hard to compare the stock color vs. LED color. Also the brightness...so hard to shoot that with a cheapo camera. lol. In person, and trevor can confirm this, these LEDs are incredible.
THANK YOU! I'm really surprized i havn't gotten any 'LED haters' like in Jp7's thread for this mod! lol.

Oh yeah...why bother with projectors and the effort if you are not going to have high beams for the occasional ******** you flashes his highbeams not knowing what real headlights look like, OR the jack@ss who has some big super duty lifter 12" on 38s with 10,000K HIDs in stock housings broadcasting blue light everywhere like an idiot. I flash those fools with the low beam only HIDs....IF he flashes still. I blow by with my train horns on....Either way, my little ranger always wins that battle. :)
Sorry they are the Infiniti M45 projectors with the lil plastic things that go around the outside to let some the light out that look like lil leds.
I cant find any good pics to show it.
