Default LED Tail Light Questions

Does anybody have the new LED tail lights? If so hows the fit? Do they flash like the factory tail lights? Where's the best and cheapest place to get these. Please post some pics! Thanks in advance!

Plug and play as far as fit goes, I don't know what you mean by flash like the factory lights, they work the same, e-bay is the cheapest place to get them:

Thanks for the reply! Sorry that wasn't too clear about the flash part. I was meaning do the turn signals flash like the factory ones? I've heard people say that they flash quicker when you install the LED's.

They look much better than the stock lights and they are a high quality product. Mine flash the same as the stock lights and boy do they look nice.

Took 10 minutes to install.

I think people who installed an after market sequential flashing system had issues, no problems with the factory flasher set up.

The problem everyone has with "quick flash" is when they just replace the rear bulbs with LED bulbs. The kits your speaking of have been engineered to eliminate this problem and are usually true P&P's. That's one of the reasons for the fairly high cost.
Several of us have the LED bulbs and have taken the necessary additional step of modifying the wiring slightly to eliminate "quick flash". Much cheaper, but a bit more involved. HTH

Do you remember who you bought them from on the 'bay? The change in blinking speed has me really curious. What would have made them slow down? Do the car "learn" flasher current too!!!??? Or did something fail that caused them to slow down? That really bothers me.
