IPCW Platinum Smoke tail install notes

[dheadv8q]

I installed these today on my late production 07. The instruction states that if installing on a post May 06 production date, to use the adaptor plugs. When I did, the turn signals didn't work. Troubleshooting revealed that my wiring (production date 5/17/07) was a combination setup. The 'upper' bulb plug uses the adaptor and the 'lower' bulb uses the Tahoe plug. The 'upper' plug operates the inner vertical LED strip, and the 'lower' plug operates the outer strip. I was surprised that only the inner vertical strip illuminates for braking.

Both are lit for running, and the outer blinks for turn/hazard. I verified this with their Tech help line.
I expect I will add one of the flexible Oznium LED light strips noted in the smoked tail thread.

I had fast blinking when I followed the directions. Then I did it right. The directions were wrong for my truck.

When I spoke with the guy at IPCW he was apologetic, and said it was really hard for them to figure out what GM is doing year over year...

I have the smoke IPCW tails and for the money I paid I'm not really impressed with them lately. I drove behind my truck today and they're not as bright as I was hoping. Definitely not as bright as other LED's I've seen on other tails. So I started looking into eBay today and found these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Anyone else seen these or have them installed? The picture works out well for me because I have a white Denali so I like the way they look. I also like the 3 rows of LED's rather than the 2 on the IPCW. Problem is you can never tell how bright they are in a picture. So I'm hoping someone here has them or has seen them and could possibly compare them to the IPCW for me.

Thanks.
