| I also got one after I saw this post but I ran my wire through with the taillight wires so i dont need to drill and there isnt much chance for it to short out. i think the hole makes it look a bit better but more permanent. |

| Well I wired it all up ready to install and just about to drill the holes. I figured I'd test it just to make sure I had it wired right....and guess what.... the led strip was yellow, not red. I sent a message through Ebay to the seller and told them. Now I guess I just wait and see what they tell me. So now its gonna be another 2-3 weeks before I can get it all done. OWELL what can ya do. |

| Well my new and correct LED light finally came in. The weather here finally got a little better and we actully didnt have any rain today. So I installed the LED. I think it looks pretty good. The only thing I dont like is that Im not sure if the glue on the back of the LED is gonna hold. See what happens. Once I get her all cleaned up I will post a few pics. It was wasy to do it took about 20 minutes to get it all done from start to finish. Now to figure out this whole photobucket thing. Wish me luck Lattta |

| well what I do is open the pic in photobucket (don't copy the thumbnail the photo it needs to be the full size after you click the thumbnail), right click, click copy.......go back to the message, right click and paste. Your pic should appear in the message box.....then click preview post and see if it is there and then you can continue on with your message or post. Try that and see if it works.

| No the led strip only comes with about 3ft of wirind if that. So yu neeed to run a longer wire. As far as the polarity, it will only work one way. If the polarity is not right it wont work, then just switch the wires around. BTW im still working on getting those pic online. I have to wash my car first. I can see the critizism comming if my car is dirty. LOL Maybe I ll wash it this week and get them out. |

| hmmm. looks like a good job done, my personal opinion is that a fourth brake light is redundant. BUT that said it is done nicely and if u the driver likes it then ride on my friend ;-) |
