That's Hot, I know how it feels! It was amazing when I put my halo lights and euro brake lights in my Acura Integra felt like I had the most exotic car on the block!!
The Expert Gamer hey thanks I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot 🤙🏼 my brother always tells me “don’t forget us when you become famous” and that shit makes me laugh lol.
Great video! I really wanted these exact ones but was on the fence about it until I saw this. Thank you for the info in the description as well. Super excited to get them installed! Thank you!
According 2mE do it man it’s amazing. I get so many compliments it’s crazy. I took it to the Honda dealer and they said it’s so sick. Plus I have a dash cam literally four techs were talking about it lol and looking at it
I just ordered mine yesterday. I ordered the red because the smoked will not look good on mine. I also ordered the sequential lights for the bumper which I have not installed yet because I want to do all of them at once. Once that's finished I'll get the sequential lights for the mirrors and fog lamps.
Might just be me but I'm not a fan of the start up automation and all that when they turn on. That would get annoying to me real fast. They look really good once they are just on tho.
It’s a thing that a lot of new luxury cars are having standard on their lights now. Go look at the brand new 2020 Audi rs7 the headlights and taillights do it
Still looks like a lobster claw and that's why I'm leasing my 2019 in hopes of the taillights being nice looking again in 2022 like my 2017 Accord I had!
this is better than the other aftermarket taillight ive seen (the one with the Y shaped lights) but honestly its a bit over the top. i don't like how the actual brake lights are the smallest lights on the housings. They should have mimicked the OEM touring lights by having the top bar light up only. startup routine is a bit cheesy too but i think theyre still pretty cool
I like that it covers the strip on the trunk door like the touring version but it would be a while before I can get used to the start up. I wonder if you can disable it
Billy Dillard thank you. I appreciate it. Still working on my editing. Got much better than before I am glad. But I am still learning to be able to upload good quality videos. 🤙🏼
I got these about a month ago and it looks like my left reverse light isn’t working for whatever reason like yours wasn’t? Everything is hooked up properly though, I think...
Looks great man. Just curious I’ve seen some video and especially for the smoked ones how is the light displayed when the sun is directly hitting the taillights is it very noticeable for drivers behind you to see? Thanks
Yes they are great. They are just like then stock. The brake light is LED so it’s bright and people behind you will see you. Trust I was worried about all that cuz I drive 60 miles back and fourth to work and I was kinda worried and scared if they aren’t gonna he strong. The brightness of them is perfect in the day time and night. At night they aren’t too bright and won’t bother people. They are just perfect!
Legend17 great to know thanks man that’s why I didn’t get the first generation after market taillights because I think the turn signal is a halogen and isn’t very noticeable when the sun is directly on it
Did the fancy running light animation (not the turn lights) work during the daytime if we keep the headlight in auto mode? Or Do we need to keep the head light or at least fog lights in On mode during the day time to get that that fancy light animation when you start or unlock the car?
chaitanya Moram it will happen every time you turn on the headlight. It doesn’t matter if the car if off or on or lock. As long it’s on auto or to the on position. It works every time you turn on the light.
Plz help me i installed same in my car initially it was work startup automation but afterwards it doesn’t work. I again turn on the car but still lights are same. My start up automation not working . Any suggestions
The yellow wire if for the brakes. If you don’t wire them it will look like just in the video. But if you do the it will be bigger brake light. Of course you have to.

Good video but seems to me that the brake lights are not working properly. I wouldn't trust AliExpress because if you encounter any problems such as an LED getting out of place or water is getting inside then good luck trying to contact the seller. Happened to me before, ans i'll never do it again. I would spend a few extra bucks and buy it from a local seller in US.
@@DoodleyDavid I have the black ones on my white car. Looks fine to me. I didn't go for the red cause it was looking a little too stock for me tbh.

Rick Frank omg the Avalon is amazing I see the outside but not the inside. I am pretty sure the Avalon is more comfortable. I would get the Avalon TRD if it was me cuz it looks sick man.

@@UCDzdqQ265pq8nDbRQkpwzrw It was nice video. Both the day & night shots look pretty cool. I am a bit worried if the lights are DOT complaint as they have flashing red lights.

Madhu VS they don’t flash. They just flash twice when you turn them on and they stop. Watch the video till the end and you will see what I am talking about.
Madhu VS I don’t believe they are DOT compliant. They would be stamped as DOT compliant if they were. Pretty sure the sequential turn signal doesn’t meet the requirement for 2,200 square millimeters in size.
I know what you mean. I like them too but I wanted to see how the 2nd version is. A lot of people have the 1st one so I wanted to do something different :).

I agree it’s kinda gimmicky
I like tetris so I like it! Yeah I do wish there was an option to turn it on and off but I love mines tho so I really don't have any complaints.
Hang Nguyen hahha. They are nice but yes I wish u could turn it on and off
It’s a thing that a lot of new luxury cars are having standard on their lights now. Go look at the brand new 2020 Audi rs7 the headlights and taillights do it
I wish they were not so dark but they look good. If they had a lighter shade I would love it
Tj Brown I agree too tbh
Yeah same here. I wish they would've just kept the outside more clear so that you could see in the inside more kinda how the telsas are now.
Hang Nguyen I agree man. At night while they are off. Omg they look amazing and they look great with the lights on.
Even the tint color of the Audi S5 are really nice. They are not too dark but are able to see the details.
Tj Brown yes I like the Audi tints. My friend has a 2017 a7 and I like the taillights.
Still looks like a lobster claw and that's why I'm leasing my 2019 in hopes of the taillights being nice looking again in 2022 like my 2017 Accord I had!
Albert Clark the version 1 looks less like a lobster. That’s what I got instead.
The new audis have the best illuminations. Some animarion without being overdone
Iron Shaft yes I agree
this is better than the other aftermarket taillight ive seen (the one with the Y shaped lights) but honestly its a bit over the top. i don't like how the actual brake lights are the smallest lights on the housings. They should have mimicked the OEM touring lights by having the top bar light up only. startup routine is a bit cheesy too but i think theyre still pretty cool
Garry Sarkisian there are more brake lights in the inner portion but you will need to do an extra step to fix it on non touring models.
Just gained a new subscriber! Love these!
TYREE ALEXANDER I appreciate it man :)
question, i only saw one reverse light working. is that normal? looks like the driver side did not work
nii abbey he said he forgot to connect it.
He forgot to flip the connection 180
How’ve these held up over time? They look great
I like that it covers the strip on the trunk door like the touring version but it would be a while before I can get used to the start up. I wonder if you can disable it
Mr Niz yes it would be nice if there is an on or off switch for that honestly.
Mine just got delivered, I'm using this in a bit to install mine. Where did you run/hide the yellow wire up to the trunk? - Thanks for the video 👊

No
After 3 years how are the lights holding up brother?
Looks really good I want them👍
I'm getting them
2020 update on how they held up and if you changed any bulbs?
d bourke can’t change anything. It’s closed. Andthey are led so they don’t really go out. No issues at all

I installed the same ones on my white accord about a month ago, it’s all over my IG lol. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

can i purchase individual parts ? i just need the cable that connects the inner and outer turn signals
I got these about a month ago and it looks like my left reverse light isn’t working for whatever reason like yours wasn’t? Everything is hooked up properly though, I think...

It was nice video. Both the day & night shots look pretty cool.

Can you please do follow up of night time driving and ask your friend or family members to take a video of how it looks for other drivers on the road ?
The reason I ask is if the animations are flashing red during a drive that might be a cause to get pulled over.
Thanks
Madhu VS they don’t flash. They just flash twice when you turn them on and they stop. Watch the video till the end and you will see what I am talking about.
Madhu VS I don’t believe they are DOT compliant. They would be stamped as DOT compliant if they were. Pretty sure the sequential turn signal doesn’t meet the requirement for 2,200 square millimeters in size.
Ghilliesuit35 do more research bud. Go see the new Avalon :)
Legend17 so you are saying they do say DOT compliant on them?
