Brought mines on ebay for $232.00 about 2 months ago, one of the best deal for Eagle Eyes. I went with the red and all four are the same brightness. I love em.

All, My problems with lights being of slightly different brightness resolve. Thanks to ncvette_1FUNRIDE recommendation I paired up the "1's" on one side and "2's" on one side of my Eagle Eyes LED lights . All is now well. Brightness discrepancy resolved.. Love them
Next Step: Find a good 3 LED Brake Light Replacement...Any recommendations from fellow enthusiasts ?

Thanks Randy, that did the trick. Funny thing is, mine even have "L" and "R" embedded in the plastic. I never saw that during installation.
I knew with a name like Randy you would be a very cool individual.
Thank you sir.
P.S. VENDORS, just because your Chinese manufacturers are too cheap to include installation instructions doesn't mean that you can't do a little write up, or FAQ's sheet to help out your customers fully enjoy thier new products.

I have a vendor experimenting with a 3rd brake light that I sent him to try and install the SMD lights to match my side marker lights. I'll have it color matched(ghosted) to the spoiler as well. I hope it works out.

Thats correct but the 2 L's and the 2 R's have to be on a certain order as well. I think that is where the paper " 1 " and " 2 " labels come in to play. I'm pretty sure that I put my " 1's " on the outside corners. One of each side is at more of an anle because of the curvature of the back end of the car.

The angle of each side pair is the same.
The 1's go on one side, the 2's go on the other side.
I have installed several sets of these lights.

That is incorrect. Each pair (marked with a '1' and '2') are OK on either the inner hole or the outer hole of a side. They only have to be on the correct side of the car.
The angle of each side pair is the same.
The 1's go on one side, the 2's go on the other side.

When I bought my first set of LED tail lights 3 years ago, they were a fairly new item. My left sides had the same numbers on them (can't remember which side was 1's and which side was 2's) and my right sides had the same numbers.
Think about it, do you think GM would have 4 different tail lights?
If you go to a GM parts vendor, they only list 2 different tail light assemblies, a RIGHT and a LEFT.
EDIT: Took this photo of a set I have waiting to tint.
Rights are on the left and Lefts are on the right.

I plan to use VHT Nite Shades to lightly tint a set. I'm looking for a 'Cherry' red color.
ALSO, these lights are very bright, especially at night. A light tinting will cut down on blinding the driver directly behind me at a stop light at night.
I bought a set of tinted ones from JW Motoring (see below) and even though those were 'lightly' tinted, they were a little darker than I was looking for. Thus, I will try to do some myself. (great vendor though)

I have one set that I plan on keeping the original red so that when inspection time comes, IF I have a problem getting my car to pass with 'lightly' tinted LED tail lights, I will be able to swap them out, back to the red ones if needed.

I also have my own custom red set coming out that is a tad darker than the way they come from the factory. I just finished a set yesterday and will be posting those soon.
