Yep, heard of them. In fact I had one of their Millenium Yellow 44 Led's installed for about a year until GM released the Z06 spoiler. Good product & very good customer service.

i've got the 44 LED third brake light kit from then in the black lens material...it took about 10 min to install, looks/functions great, and didn't cost too much...plus, i like how the black looks on the orange, and one of the other people on here who got it with a messed up LED got a whole new unit shipped to him free of charge....from what i understand they are great to work with! here are some pics of mine:

I got mine last week in machine silver. Definite upgrade from oem. Easy install. Lloyd is great and his customer service is excellent. He was offering a 15% discount and free shipping last month. You won't be sorry. Give him a call.

I have their 44 LED body colored rear brake light/spoiler. The color match is perfect, the install is easy and it looks and works great.


What's not to like.

But is it visible in noon day sunlight?
The only issue with these replacements has been that they are usually too dim to be seen in sunlight.

I'd love to see if anyone has pics with the brake light ON in sunlight, compared to the stock light.

many previous complaints about that problem. maybe it's been resolved, but don't know.

Pipedreams is highly regarded as making quality merchandise and giving great service - those things are not in question at all.

it is exactly as visible as the rear breaklights are...they are a near perfect match in brightness

Ive heard that once you are off axis (instead of right behind, up higher like in an SUV) the lack of brightness is even worse. Im still waiting to see one in person to see for myself.
