I have them. They're a little bit darker then the OEM taillights. Darker then OEM, but not as dark as the Harleys. It's hardly noticeable and looks good I think.

Awesome, could you please post some day and night shot when you have a chance? Also it say something about a celis parking light, what would that be? Do the led's only come on when you brake or when the parking lights are on also?
thanks

Those look great! Where do you get them and how much? Are the LED's used as running lights or only for the brakes?

I posted pics in my New LEDs thread. Just search for it. I have some day time pics that I'll post either tonight or tomorrow.

The celis parking light is the light that comes on at the bottom for your running lights. The upper LED array just does turn/brake.

However, I'm working on rewiring them so the LEDs and celis lights all do the same thing.

A celis light is just a tube that has LEDs evenly spaced and modulated so they give extremely uniform light output. The are very common in BMWs.

The Hella brake light has three of them at the bottom.

Also, as in my thread, you'll see that you need to trim a bracket behind the brake lights to get these to fit.

So um yeah...are you on drugs or something?

First off they're taillights. Second, I did a post on these already with tons of pictures in my gallery. You already posted their and shared your incredibly insightful post of "nice tumor".

Once again you must have misread, because Hella does not have a set of headlights. I think most would also agree the Hella taillights don't have a tumor but only a slight bump, nothing like the APCs. But then again you don't have a set so I wouldn't expect you to have full subject matter knowledge. To each his own.

I don't want to start anything but I think Hella has headlights...

I like the headlights, but don't like the grill lights...

Edited to add: Looks like Redneck beat me
