Microimage RS Style Tail Lights?

OK after searching the forums for various combinations of micro image, microimage, tail lights, taillights, LED, RS, tails, I didn't find anything so I thought I would ask this here.

OK so I have the NET/VITS/RS badging on the way and spoiler on the way. Until I can save up to buy suspension the only thing left to do for a while is tails. The RS Style tail lights at Microimage seem like the best deal, but just need to be rewired. Does anyone have these installed? Are they happy with the brightness and build quality? Have any of the individual LED's burnt out? Have any of them gotten water in them? Microimage seems like they sell quality stuff, but I am hoping to get some feedback from folks here on these before I buy. Thank you,

- Jason

I have them installed, they are easy if you know how to solder. Make sure oyu heat srhink wrap the soldering points. The brightness is great. None of the LEDs haev burnt out yet. I've had them since.. January. They haven't gotten water in them, but the crack between them and the bumper collects water.. that's kind of irrelevant anyways.

+1^ I got these installed also. Easy to wire up, even for a novice. I have had mine also since november or december of last year. No issues yet. Led are bright and are still lasting. I love the way they look.

... Aaaaand ordered... I went ahead and got the fog light kit too, since you guys seem like you do your homework and don't sell crap.

So excited. I have never modified a car like this before, with badges, spoiler, fogs, tails. Going for a mild OEM'ish JDM look.

Yeah... ish... "Wild" is not really my style, but I respect the work that goes into it, no matter what the outcome. Besides I don't think I am "cool" enough for the more wild stuff. I am just too much of a dork. :p

I plan on posting a Youtube video of my experience from unpacking the tails, soldering the harness, to installing them. I am also going to see if I can buy a wiring harness for each tail from the dealership before cutting the harness off my current ones, so I can leave them in tact.
