Installed mine too!
LED sidemarkers are really cool, even if probably they are too bright at night. I was checking other cars and no one has illuminated sidemarkers.. mmm..
However, I need to complain with [MENTION=9987]Diode Dynamics[/MENTION] for the sh*tty quick splice connectors!! Guys, have you tried these before sending us?? I can't remember to have seen such a poor quality in a long time. The internal blades don't peel the wire properly, and the spade connector is very loose when inserted.
At first I had to re-open these stupid connectors because of faulty contacts, then I had to cover with electrical tape all this 'system' to avoid the wires falling down.
Yes, the sidemarkers work very well, they are great, but.. you always refers to quality, quality controls, quality materials.. Well I can say that the connectors you put in this are NOT quality at all. In the next few days I will remove again the license plate light to fix it in some other way.
Hopefully mine have a straight lines:
Removing light, very easy
Very poor quick splice connectors
I haven't a picture of those covered with electrical tape because I was a bit upset!
Job done
However I'm a bit worried about night brightness.. maybe too much
I'm wondering if I could use a potentiometer to lower the voltage and have them a dim a bit..
[MENTION=12253]papinist[/MENTION] any chance that you upload the photos again, so that they show up. I am about to install the side markers and I always refer to your very useful and detailed posts for instructions.
One suggestion to those who will install those side markers. As I did with my front tribar led boards, I am not going to use the T-Tap connectors as they will fail sooner or later. Instead I will splice the wires and use Scotch 23 self fusing tape to cover everything, so that the connections are strong, as well as water and heat resistent.
