Ok, I got word back from the manufacturer about the warranty. There will be a 6 month warranty and it will be exchange only. If a led on the right side goes out within six months, please let me know and if we have one in stock, we'll send you the side that has an issue. If we don't have one in stock, we'll order it and when it comes in, we'll switch them out. Buyer pays shipping on return items.

I think that's all the "open items" out there. It seems that there are a lot of interest on the lights and people want to know what the price is so here's a prelim GB list. Please only put your name down if you are 95% sure that you are going to purchase and you are agreeable to the terms of the GB.

Here are the terms again:

Features:

- LED for brake lights and turn signals
- Plug and play
- Excellent fitment
- retains fog light capability
- Warranty: 6 months exchange - buyer pays for shipping
- Available in: red/smoked, red/clear and all clear
- **currently only available for 996 narrow bodies

D
isclaimer:
- These lights are for off-road use only
- We are not responsible for any electrical issues that may arise

Prelim GB info for all to consider (I will host the real GB once the shipment comes in)

If paying via paypal, please add 2.9% or I can take money order/wire transfer.

1- 5 sets - $650 shipped
6 - 10 sets - $610 shipped
10+ sets - $575 shipped
Availability for pick up:
$550 cash after 10 confirmed buyers (deposit collected) for local guys

Prelim GB (Please pick: red/smoked, red/clear, all clear)
1.

Do they have LED's for when I turn on the lights? or what happens when I have the lights on at night and then apply the brakes?
A night show would be awesome....

JP,

They use the same harness as the OEM so when you turn on the lights, it will light up and when you hit the brakes, the led's would be brighter. I am still trying to find someone that can take a video. anyone?

I see the legal disclaimer but does these lights trigger something on the computer error message or something? What electrical issues could arise? Is there anyone running this on their car already, any issues? Anybody is welcome to chime in.

I am interested but I want to see the red/clear before I decide which one to get. So I'm waiting to pull the trigger until I see both red/smoked or red/clear.

The disclaimer is just the standard verbage I've seen on aftermarket lights. OrangeC2 tried these on and no error message was found (since it plugs into the stock harness, I dont' see how it can mess things up). Just a extra tidbit of info, the manufacturer of these lights also make others LED tailights for other cars so they are not new in this market. No one is running these in their cars as the lights haven't hit the market yet.

No problem, I will post pics once the shipment comes in.

Thanks for the answer... so with lights on: LED's are on. with lights AND brakes: LED's are on and brighter.
Thanks again!
