I was just wondering if anyone on here has bought these lights??

If so do they work well ?? Or do you have to do some MOD. ??

I wonder if Garm can get these for me ??

Me personally i dont like led bulbs in our housing cause it dosnt illuminate the area even with the leds scattered around liek in the picture. If you look at true led tail lights they have many many many leds in a cluster to get the same effect one single regular bulb could illuminate because they only light in a strait beam pattern.

If you put those also in the turn signals you will get that fast blinking effect as if you had a burnt out bulb. Worthwhile leds would be the license plate light bulbs since they are pointed strait down anyways. Or dome light leds that come in a mini cluster. Or trunk leds. I have all of those installed already.

I know what you mean about the turn signals. I just wish they had some LED'S taillights for the Sedan. I know Garm has them but maybe I will get them when I get my tex return.. I do have the LED'S for the license plate.

I have those headlights (those in that pic is installed upside down, btw). They're bolt-on HID projectors.

Awesome mod. Garm is getting the G2 or G3 in stock (which are supposedly better than the G1, which I have and the one in that pic). It'll be like $120 more, so it's up to you if you want to spend that much. They're a great alternative to an actual retrofit, but don't expect to outshine most OEM projector HID's out there.

I'm pretty sure those are the RHD version. Just do the retrofit. It's a lot cheaper.

I think this style has no side turn signals, so it's illegal at least in California. Buyer's choice on that detail of course.

Garm have you seen the OEM with LED'S Tail light ?? It looks just like the OEM one just the Red part has LED'S. Can't find a pic. But i know Hella makes them.

This type of LED'S are called SMD I have them in my taillights, foglights, parking lights and license plate, they look great, SMD led’s spread the light at an angle of 180°.

^ it'll be far more cheaper to just buy the bolt-on projectors and DIY.
