Default exhaust plate light

There is a gentleman on ebay that sells led Exhaust plate lights for C5, He just started selling these lights and all his feed back is positive. Has anyone seen or bought one of these lights?

I bought one a month ago when he first started offering them. I like it, it gives a red glow in that area that isn't as sharp as a neon tube but just noticeable enough so that people behind you can see it and wonder what it is. The exhuast pipes and the plate reflect the light nicely.

the instructions were clear ( I'm not a mechanic but can use tools ) and I had it on in less than half an hour.

The hardest part was drilling the mounting holes in the bumper. The metal is tough to drill through and having to get under the car and do the drilling while on my back made it a little harder.

I'm pleased with the result and would recommend it.

No pics, sorry. I should post some some day.
I admit this mod may not be for everyone but I like it since it makes mine stand out from the rest a little bit.

$ 6.00. After I get and put it on I will take some photos and post

I am glad this topic came up. I saw this thing on E-Bay a while ago, and wanted to find out a little more before I bought one. I really wanted to see if he had them in blue.
