Very interested to see how they turn out. Always wanted LED tail lights but they dont make em for flaresides. An LED bulb just isn't bright enough for brake lights.

personally I'd just stick with what TRS has to offer.....I've seen, heard, and read of a lot of horror stories with Oracle halo's.....especially the kits for the camaros and chargers....
As with any halos, there is always a risk of one failing. I would not recommend any surface mounted halos for that reason. If they're behind the shroud, you can simply disconnect them and forget they were there. That's not true with surface mounted halos since they're clearly visible even when off.
It is up to the buyer to decide what they want. I can only give my advice.

Haha, I'm just figuring out some sort of design right now. Never did care for buying aftermarket tail lights. I'll also be able to paint parts of it to make them look like Harley tails without reducing the output. More to come!
Thanks for the info. This set seems to be good from what I can see. They offer a lifetime warranty on their lights, but that's only as good as the company backing it.

pretty much Oracle gets them from the same manufacture as TRS does.....I can't find the thread on hidplanet right now....but Oracle seems to be made to a different spec over the TRS ones...that thread showed a side by side camparison of both, but that thread was 2 years ago and everything is different now....

What happened to "I like my crazy pnp HIDs?" 
What do you use to seal these back up, Saleen? I may have to crack mine open to take care of an issue.
