If I got the Spec-D I would not go smoked or clear but red/clear. The only thing I didn’t love about the VIPMotoZ is the large fog light square.

do you have a video of the VIPMotoZ with them lit up, turn signals, etc.

also, I was looking for the same light bar turn signals. Where did you get them. And do the signals blink or are they the sequential ones. I’d like a set of those but I think I would opt for the non-sequential turn signal. I did find a set at extrememotorcars of the turn signal with the light bar as a rectangle/oval with the flasher in the center but if I swap the headlights for oval LEDs I would prefer the straight bar like you have.

lastly, are those turn signal lights drl or do you have to turn them on? Straight plug and play or special wiring?


thanks thanks thanks.

That's the tail setup I have now. Red/clear. I love how they look!!!

The DRL turn signals came back in stock and were plug and play, However, If you want to run them as true DRL, you need to modify the light switch.
The diode light switch mod is an easy mod and took less than 10 min to complete.

Do you have a link on the light source. Or name. Who did you get them through. I found the vipmotoz tail lights. But wasn’t sure on the turn signals you and oronymo have, where to get those. If you have a vendor you used, let me know. You said the wiring for DRL was easy. What lights up. The bar, or the leds below?

The rear lights are sequential (not my favorite, but they work). The front lights are not sequential, although I think you can find them with sequential. The front lights are not DRLs - although there are several hacks out there for how to make that work (splicing wires, adding a harness, recoding the ecu, etc etc). I personally just wanted to keep it simple and easy to remove and have full control. I usually drive with parking lights on - which just lights up the thing white strip in the front. If it's dawn/dusk i'll turn on the fogs which are really more like DRLs than true fogs (they illuminate ahead rather than down).
Note: the video makes the light seem darker than it really is.

I recommend delreycustoms for the front LEDs. https://delreycustoms.myshopify.com/...running-lights

Thanks and thanks. I didn't realize at first you had the rears too in a separate vid. Awesome. I'll definitely get the VIPMotoZ.

As for the front signal lights, Xtrememotorcars has them as well, $375. I think the Delray is $500 and I am guessing they are the same part. They also have the but sequential, with both the top and bottom lighting for signal and fog, for $495. And they have one that is the tube around the outside and the signal in the center. http://www.vendio.com/stores/www.xtr...t/lid=48918339

Are they a reputable vendor. That I don't know.

I think I like the ones you have, but wouldn't mind them at $375 if the quality is the same.

Damn! I paid less than half for mine. Funny enough, if you take the part number, they are all the same, Some just charge double / triple.

The mod will light the fog lights up as DRL (like in my picture) when you leave the light switch at "home"

I bought my DRL's here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-2004-20.../311439013496?
if you google the Manufacturer Part Number (4-SB-PSH997L-CC) you will find the same DRL's in all price regions between ~220 - 700 Dollar.

This is a trick question. The answer is there are none, they all look terrible.

FYI, I'm looking at selling my LED tail lights and front fogs (switching things up for something different). They're in like-new condition. VIP Motoz clear (non-tinted) red tail lights with smooth lightbar style running light. Front led fog/running lights/turn signal. See my other posts.

PM me if interested.
