Hey James, if you just ordered the light, you will be receiving one of the Rev 2 lights and receive the Instruction PDF on Monday or Tuesday. The first batch of Rev 2 RAL have shipped today! Woot!!

Ugh want so bad! How easy are these to install? Do you run the wiring connection off the tail lights?

I ended up painting the aluminum rotor accent black. Looked to busy in silver with the fake mesh cut out of my bumper. I'll post updated photos soon.

Also, install was a breeze.

Hey 9K,
The new install is essentially the same, the gray wire is the only new addition... So, black to black, blue to red/black, and gray to yellow/black. If you still need a copy simply email lebren@gmail.com and I can get a copy of the new or old instructions emailed to ya.

Flyinglizard, the contrast with the white blows my mind, maybe the new RAL is too bright... I might possibly have to tone it down a little

Brilliantblackrx8, she looks great! What exhaust are you rockin?

Before I forget, Please please P L E A S E anyone about to install these don't plug it into your 120V outlet! These are tested before shipping!


Warm regards,
Eren DuPee

Scratch that last one, these will be shipping in the future with bullet style terminal that 1) is not possible to plug into an outlet and 2) slides into a protective encasing to prevent any potential for shorting when installed. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Erin, it's a Greddy EVOTT, It's suppose to be the last one sold in the US, some dude bought out the rest of the lot last year for his business in the Euro market. It's a great low tone, and quality is top notch.

flyinlizard, it looks better with the black painted accent. Your car is simple yet very clean. Judging by your setup, I bet it handles really well

ANYONE HAVE PROBLEM ON THE WIRING tTHING. SEEMS LIKE MINE CAN ONLY RUN EITHER DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OR BRAKE LIGHT.
It has only 1 level of brightness. When i turn on the light, it will not be on. Unless i press the brake.

Good morning James25520,
I understand the frustration and think I have a solution to your concern. The way the light works is this:
Blue wire ---> Black/Red,
Gray Wire --->Black/Yellow
Black--->Black
First, turn on the running lights. Second, hit the brakes. The light gets brighter when the brakes are applied only when the running lights are on first, this is important.
There exist LED's with 2 dice internally that will run independently but are very expensive and not bright enough. You'll notice on all the vehicles that run LED's for tails none of them use the same LED's for both purposes for this very reason. Double check your wiring, and please let me know if the problem persists either here or via email: lebren@gmail.com

thank you for your reply, I actually did the same thing that the instruction ask me to do. I will take a picture for you.
It's like when i can 3 wires hook up, the light cannot be turn on at any moment.
but but when i hook only 2 of them, it works either on daytime running mode or brake mode.
not sure what is the problem.
Thank you again.
