I could be wrong, but just make sure it doesn't screw around with your braking system! Something to with voltage change when changing from standard globes to leds! Can't remember where I read it! Could be wrong though!

However IMO braking systems are not be screwed with so worthwhile checking out! :beerchug::beerchug: Not a big fan of the look myself. I like leds but these look like Expensive Daewoo leds in the rear tail lights!

I think you will find these are not ADR approved therefore will void your insurance

not a big fan of aftermarket tail ights- some dont look too bad, but I wonder if some people think "it's not standard so it must be cool" F A I L :beerchug:

I love leds! Full stop! However I haven't seen any rear tail lights that say "Yes that looks right!" I'm still looking and I want to make sure that it doesn't mess with me brake systems! :beerchug:

I believe they will work fine braking wise, but you won't be able to use cruise control because in monitors the brake light circuit and there's not enough resistance so it will never engage.

+ the fact those look puss :bangcomputer:

Some of the HSV's have LED taillights, and they look tough, I think the latest GTO has them.

But these jobbies from Ebay look terrible.

Changing to LED globes will stop the traction control, ABS and criuse control from working, unless you put a resistor inline to create enough draw to satisfy the ECU.
