Default Question on led tail lights

I am looking to put on some led tail lights on my h3. I saw the set on eBay I like but I don't know how good they are. Also it is saying they fit the 05-08 models, did they change the tail lights of the h3 in 2009 and 2010? Has anyone tried these or know anyone who has? Here is a link to the set I was interested in. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT I also know about the other euro style led lights with the leds in a straight line down and big light at bottom but I don't really like that design and its more money. Thanks in advance.

I have those, well i opted for the black and then had them painted with a clear/black mixture. They are still bright, and work great. They have held up off road and not failed.

Now, for fitment.......IT SUCKED

I had to trim a chunk of plastic from the drivers side light. It was easy to do with a dremel tool. But it took some patients and many "test fits". I had to shim one of the mounting studs with a few washers to make the light housing sit perfect. In the end i liked the finished product. I think a few on this site have seen my truck in person.

It really depends on what you like.

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it, I see the tail lights in your album they look really good I think im gonna get them in next few days. What did you do to your rims? They look pretty sweet did you spray them a gun metal or something?

I have the IPCW Ruby Reds. Installed over a year, perfect fit, plug and play, no problems yet.

Yeah I got a h3 rim off ebay for 35 dollars shipped and I am planning to do some paint tests on it. You confirmed for me about spraying my rims now I will probably make that my next project next time its warm for few days here.
