How did you find the overall quality and fitting. Their pics on eBay look like the outter edges don't line up well with the panels?Quote:

Overall not bad! Do the lights go through an initialisation phase every time you start the car? Seen some vids where on start up one or more the lights are slow to light up.
Thanks for the feedback PhazeD - good info and pics for all.
Not that I've noticed. Although the only way i saw it was in the reflection when i first started it up after the install. I reverse parked at my office where there's glass so that I could see it.Quote:

Hi all, I know this topic has been done to death but I figured I'd put my 2 cents in. I had been eyeing off installing R Line LED tail lights for ages, however this week I took the plunge and ordered a set from Euro Car Upgrades (JKU.com.au) as they stocked genuine OEM retrofit parts. I was really pleased with the customer service, the expedient shipping (QLD to NSW) and fast installation and coding service offered.
Just wanted to share my results with everyone, I am really happy with how it turned out :)

There's no initialisation for the LEDs - they're off, or they're on (although they still fade out in steps when you enable Coming Home lights). What you may have seen on videos is the 'LED effect', where the frequency and timing of the LEDs doesn't match up with the frame rate of the camera filming them, and they appear to be not illuminated, or to flicker.Quote:

It flickers like this when the ignition switch is turned regardless of whether the headlight switch is in the off position or otherwise.Quote:
