I've never yet seen blacked out LED's, but I'm tempted to buy a set and do our black out treatment to them

Yeah! Me too. And it's all your fault Barn! What's the big idea anyway, huh?

They're really nice lights. I'm concerned about how my Flash Sequencer would react to the LED's

sequentials will work but the lights will blink too fast to appreciate the sequential effect.

i had them prior to my LEDs and ended up taking them off and selling them.

Thanks for sharing your experience with sequentials and your LEDs. I've been considering going with sequentials with these LEDs.

Side by side comparison.

Just snapped these tonight. Sorry, no pics to compare with the brakes on - Vetterable was inside shooting pool, so I didn't have anyone to hold down the brakes on his car.

Default LED W/ Rear Tailight Sets ?

Im curious though I have been in the market for these exact tail lights with the Halo on the rims however I have Rear Tailight Sets and am hesitant to make the purchase not knowing how they would look.

Any thoughts or opinions?

There are lots of pictures, thoughts and opinions in this thread already. What else would you like to know?

In my opinion, the pictures of the lights "off" during daylight don't do justice to how good they really look. On the other hand, night time pictures of the lights while they are on are slightly over-exaggerated to the point where they almost appear like neon lights. That is not the case in person.

As someone else stated earlier, the standard running lights are about as bright as stock - maybe a little brighter - but the brake lights are super bright.

In my opinion, they really spruce up the back-end of the car. Just a little more eye-candy.

So are both of these the same as BarneePhife's set up?

Eckler's LED's

WCC's LED's

I'm pretty sure after looking at the two web sites above that you have found two different sets of lights. Look at the first row of LEDs..
the Ecklers set appears to have 5 LEDs. The WCC set appears to have 4. Barnee's lights in the pic above appear to have 5 and to my eye, look like the Ecklers lights.

One thing I can say for sure is that I saw Barnee's in person and they look GREAT.
