C5 LED Taillights
I am ready to buy a set of LED Taillights for my 1999 Vette, I can't decide if I want the Regular LED's or The Modified HALO lights. I prefer the Modified HALO. Can anyone tell me are there problems with the Modified ? I understand you might get Hyper Flash but I plan on buying the LED Hyper Flash Bypass Harness just wondering if they are as reliable as the Regular.

Go with jwmotoring and get the modded. I bought mine from another vendor here, who swore a harness was not necessary. I had hyperflash, so he then changed his tune to say i needed his harness. Did not fix, and cust service went deaf. Jw's harness fixed all. Jw's price is a lot better too.

There are not now, nor have there been, any hyper-flash issues with these particular LED tail lights. There is a built in resistor on the back side of the housing that prevents it, and the internal modification that is performed to create the so-called "Halo" version does not change that.
IOW, "Halo" or not, no worries.

I got my LED tail lamps with the modded Halo from RadioFlyer and I've never had a problem with hyper-flash. The resistor is included in each housing so no extra harness is required.

As I said, depending on the particular product being installed here. If discrete LEDS get installed into each taillight, hyper-flash is a distinct likelihood.
