Lol. I got the fabspeed cat bypass Thursday in mail. Hoping to have time tomorrow afternoon to install. Have to go for Sunday morning drive in the Jaguar early first, then see how the newborn is acting for the day, if alllllll goes well, I will put the pipes on. I gotta change her oil too. I took videos for everyone today, to let u hear how it sounds currently with fabspeed headers, super cup exhaust and cold air intake, and then gonna take more videos of how it sounds after cat bypass is added.

Just installed mine yesterday. Such a breeze and they work without messing with any resistors.

That's because the resistors are included with the Depo lights...look for a small rectangular box attached the the back of the fixture. Looks good!!

I replaced my side markers and changed them to the clear ones yesterday...first mod. I'm working my way around the car and will replace the tail lights with either Dectane or Depo. My question is with the brake lights...yes lights (plural). I have the aero package and so I have two brake lights...stupid I think.. What options exist for me to upgrade the brake lights to LED as well?

I replaced both mine with LED lights from Amazon. Quality product, no complaints so far.

Got it...Thanks. Do you know if this light will also fit the spoiler as well so I can just get two of them and both will fit?

Do you have LED tail lights too? And if so, did the addition of spoiler brake lights cause and errors. I think others have reported that they had to add resistors after adding the spoiler lights.

Cowboy - I can't quite put a finger on it, but somehow your car looks different now than it does in your avatar . . .

I guess ... Certainly on my non-aero car both are the same.

Nope, not yet. If I decide to go that route I'll give the Spyders a try, I prefer the design. But for now I'm happy with the ones I have; I went with the LED third brake lights purely because they were cheaper than OEM.

They did come with resistors, although I haven't needed to use them. But I've kept them in case I do at a later date - install looks pretty simple.
