Those look pretty cool. You can/could also get an LED wafer that went behind the stock lense but I haven't seen those lately.

There's another thread here somewhere....somebody is-has already made them for the 69-70 Chargers as well....it's one big flat LED light panel that fits behind the lens. They are in the stage to make them for the 66-67 Chargers as well

Here is video of the 2nd Gen lights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDoKJ6AvGqM

Yep, and Autodynamics are making them too.

Received a message from the auction:
"No, we don't.

But before you say "forget it if I can't see them in action," please look at our feedback. Skim over the various feedback from LED tail/parking/backup lights we've sold. Hope that will provide you with some confidence.

If not, no hard feelings. We understand."

Forget it then  :rotz: I'm not gonna spend $140 on lights I havent seen in action, good feedback or not.

I think Norway Charger was the first one to do the LCD upgrade:

I'm more concerned with the "you may need to upgrade to an LCD flasher" why don't they know this by now?

Electronic flasher is only $10 at Schucks....I got them in most of my cars...nice steady flash with any load on the system...I don't have LED's in any of my cars...

I gambled and ordered these.   They got here today and I put in one side.  haven't tried the signals yet, I was just playing around with the brakes and park lights.  It's like looking into the sun.  The difference is huge!  

you can't even buy new replacement lenses for under 200.  for 150 you get these new lenses with LED's.  That's a pretty good deal in my book.

and the video. besides how bright they are, notice how much quicker they come on when my 5 year old puts his foot to the pedal!

I would be interested in seeing what the "light" difference is when the parking lights are on and then step on the brake.

it's huge.  cameras always do a lousy job (at least in my hands) of capturing the true effect of any lights, headlights, tailights....

These things are so bright

They sure don't look stock, but I'll take brighter and less delay time any day of the week.  it's packed out here in the metro NY area and everyone's in a big f'ing hurry.... the more visible I am the better.

Very nice I really like the brightness and the faster reaction time. I'd have to say though if I made the swap I would miss the slow dieing of those tail lamps but then again we never get to see them turn off anyway.

That guy should pay me. I just made his demonstration video for him.   :icon_smile_big:

They look really nice! maybe i'll buy a pair after all..
I don't see why he wouldnt make a vid or a picture of them in action, It would probably make them sell better.

I don't know how he's able to sell them for this price when lenses alone are 85 bucks more.  wasn't someone selling the LED wafers that go into the lenses for 450.00 a while back?

I think I actually like the lights.

those tail lights are pretty nice. some people just don't know how to do business. yea he's a good seller but with anything a demonstration seals the deal. i can only imagine how many sales he let slip because of not having a demonstration. anyone else do the light upgrade that norway charger did or have a demo of his lite up? i'd really like to see how his looks compaired to the ones in ebay ad.
