or fleabay for price, whichever route you choose you'll need to get a hyperflash harness. Install is a 2 on a scale of 1-10.

I didn't buy my tail light set from Richard at CE, but I did buy the hyperflash harness and other things from him, and he is great to deal with.

The LED "Halo" is by far the coolest looking tail light and are the only tail lights i know of that are blackout-friendly (still easily visible with tinting)

....plus they can be modified any number of ways:

Can anyone explain to me why I get hyperflash on the hazards even WITH the flasher bypass harness installed? No hyperflash on the turn signals, just the hazards.

The hazzard switch and turn signal flasher use the same flasher to make the lights blink from the factory. The harness you installed is called a flasher bypass harness (when you use the turn signals you are bypassing the flasher that came with the car and using the electronic flasher that is came with it) so you get no hyperflash. But when you use the hazzards you are using the flasher that is built into the car so with the LED's you'll get hyperflash. If it really bothers you that much, you could remove the stock flasher (its a major job because its buried in the dash and hard to get to) and replace it with an electronic one (if they make one) and remove your bypass harness.

Hi All:
I got my LED's from Brian from F! performance. Great, Great service. He calls you personally and is right on the money. I had a hyper-flash issue, he gave a set of instructions to follow and the issue was gone.
Easy install, looks great. I have a set of Phantom taillight detail rings in my body color and it just blends together.
