Re: LED Tail lights
I guess they are a chrome back ground with a clear lense some owners expressed a view that they looked better but I don`t think anyone has bought them.

Re: LED Tail lights
i love the black, it is the right kind of black, it really sucks the light in which gives a superb contrast when looking at the lights mega happy with them, and considering i though they were sh*t originally! you have Del to thank for talking me down hahahahaha

Re: LED Tail lights
One thing I have found with LED tail lights which are becoming more common is when you pull up behind a car at traffic lights and the driver has forgotten/doesn`t know how to use the handbrake so they sit with their foot on the brake and you have to sit with these really bright lights in your face.
Why is this is the handbrake a redundant piece of equipment now?

Re: LED Tail lights
With electronic hand brakes taking over, I'm not surprised that people choose not to use them.

Re: LED Tail lights
One thing that's occured to me regarding electronic handbrakes - and this is slightly off-topic,I know,sorry - but are driving schools going to start using cars with these to teach,or will they stick with 'manual' handbrakes I'm thinking it's kind of like passing the test in an auto..you can then only drive an auto..so if you learn and pass using a car with 'hill assist',you won't be able to drive a car with a regular handbrake

Having bought quite a bit of him lately, I’d say emailing him is a MUCH better option

Re: LED Tail lights
*Edited.
I’ve purchase some rear light gaskets for my R3 last Tuesday, still yet to receive them, have message about when to expect delivery but not having much luck so they must be very busy at the moment.

Re: LED Tail lights
Hey Guys
Been given a heads up here regarding lack of communication, Firstly we are really sorry if we have not got back to people, its never intentional.
we have been extremely busy and i will admit have struggles to get around to getting back to everyone. i know many we have missed some messages. We receive a lot of emails and messages from various communication avenues and its been difficult to get round to answering everything.
As for the smoked tail lights, we well a lot less of these than we do of the clear versions, as such we bring less of them in.
Goobie plese drop me a PM regarding your inquiry and i will get back to you there.
Regards

Re: LED Tail lights
Thanks Delanor, I expect I will need the resistor inline with the main brake LED's. The UK kitted Mazda speed uses the centre light as a fog light. Does anyone know if it would be better to go with 5 ohms per side to keep things balanced?
