Okay, thanks everyone for your photos. It's going to be a hard choice as I like both the smoked and the red and I think either will look good with black.

So what did you end up getting?

I'm still waiting for a reply from Dante@HIDguys - who intially said they did'nt send out the resistor packs as a fix, only the info on how to fix the lights, when I said several members on this forum had gotten theirs for free, he said he'd look into it, but I have not heard from him in ages...

LED tail lights usually require that you install resistors since they require so little power. This can often have unusual side effects on your vehicle :)

But for you it sounds like you have wired something slightly wrong and have blown a fuse while connecting the new lights, since the error is still there when you hook up your OEM lights.

You may not need a resistor. Install the lights and if they work correctly and your cruise control still works, you should be good to go...

Nothing yet. I'm also looking at this set of taillights.
http://www.customstreetdesigns.com/5893-LED663.htm

These have individually replaceable LEDs and that means access to the back of the module so I might be able to convert them to light all LEDs for brakes and turns using the following module.

I just need to search out additional videos for the different taillights. I'm not an impulse buyer so this may take a while.
