I kind of disagree... or maybe I'm giving in because no one seems to make what I really want (nor am I willing to shell out mega-bucks for someone to build something like this...)

Question for you 04procomp... out of the box, did you have hyper-flashing? or did that part simply fail later on?

Out of the box they worked fine...they worked for a good 4 months before I had hyper flashing on the left side.

Gotcha... thanks for the help bud. I think these just made my 'want' list.

One last request... can you get some night pics? Maybe standing back a little ways so we can see them just as running lights and then as brake lights?

Thanks again man... much appreciated!

Caving to the pressure huh? So if you like the APCs, why didn't you get them when they came out a long time ago? Keep in mind these LED taillights you see in this thread are not the ones with the smaller bulge that 04procomp showed earlier.

You could make the ones he showed earlier with the smaller bulge work by adding a PWM to the upper LED pattern.

Here is a diagram of a PWM from Lumileds....



Here is the PDF that it is from by Lumileds. Picture is referenced from page 30.

Special thanks to dmiller at hidplanet.com/forums for finding this PWM information.

This is a link to a pretty good thread on how to make a PWM.

Haha, well if I ever do make one, I'll make you a PWM set for free.

Time to go load the 87 oct max perf tune as I just finished the AF1 install!

Hate to bother you with this again... will you have a chance to do that any time soon?

Debating on if these make it to my 'wish list' for Christmas.
