::: driving down the street :::
"Drats, that light just turned yellow.I hate red lights... wait, whats this in front of me? Green light? OK!"

::: filing the accident report :::
"I don't know officer. I saw the light changing, then all of a sudden there was this bright green light in front of me. I thought it was a subliminal message to go."


I do like the way the green looks though.
Has anyone tried to make a scanning TBL yet?

Thanks, and thank you again... yeah, it was a lot faster than I expected.

Plus, that was my first time in rush hour traffic, so I was able to "show it off" immediately after install! haha

looks like the same but the oem tbl has silver trimming around the housing. where vrd looks clear which will allow the car's color to shine through. some may like it.

and you'd still rock it huh? lol! hey, i see that you have VRD Fog lights 3000k HID, can you post a pic of the light output on the road? please?

anyways, it looks like the VRD ones actually lights up the whole thing other than leaving those two gaps on each side.... no?

oh, and can i get a pm for the price for the DIY kit?

and i still need to get the price for those VRD ones too.....

need to decide which to get..... =[

the difference is that you do your own you know the quality and you will satisfy your own needs and wants...something else you pay more and quality is uninsurable 100%. plus OEM housing looks better..

It was only a matter of time before some company finally got around to doing a full 3rd brake light for the tc. You'll note however, it is APRIL 2007! The tc came out (phsyically) in about SEPTEMBER 2004. So..... 2 years, 7 months later, the aftermarket finally catches up.

Yeah, way to be responsive to the market. Jeez.

Well, who knows how they'll price it. Considering it's probably made in China, it might cost pretty close to the current standard light. It looks like they have the LED's at the very end too. Well, good for them.

Hopefully, Alan hasn't bought too big of a pile of LED arrays.
