I'm trying to remove the rear taillights. I removed the four bolts and the damn thing won't come out. Any tips? Looks like one has a black washer on it and I can't get the dang thing out!

Yes I did and I love it. I notice people behind me staring at my taillights now. I just hope the cops don't give me a hard time about them. I don't know the legality around them, but I know they aren't legal.

I have the CDC Sequentials and have not had a problem going on 1 year. I live in Cali and the cops are always looking for a reason to pull you over. Just drive reasonably and you will be fine.

Every time one of my friends follow me the first thing they want to talk about is the brake lights!!

Yea, the CDC Sequentials looked like a good kit, but I wanted the Chase patten.

Yes. They sequential out when you brake and then fade out when you let off. Did you get the kit where there is no sequential when you brake? Meter4it blinks FAST so the brake is practically immediate:

No, Mine are sequential when I break. They came with the car when I bought it so I am assuming that they are CDC (Because I have their side exhaust kit)? Maybe they are not... on to search and find out!

Nice!!!

Mine are much slower and one bulb goes completely out before the other lights up when on blinker. When you hit the brakes they light up one at a time and stay lit.

Yours look good! Congrats.
