Offical New Rx8 LED Brake Light Group Buy

Finally i contact with Spyderauto about their LED brake light. I post up the brake light thread and people are interested with these new LED brake light.
On 12/11, i went to spyderauto for the test fit and took some picture of the fitment and light output. Everything came out great and i approved by Zoom44 for this group buy.
Pictures are below:
There are 3 choices (Clear, Red and Light Smoke Tinted)
Clear

Red

Light Smoke tinted

Back of the light

Picture of test fit:
Day Time( the first picture shows the black gap on the side but actually is not a gap, just the picture make us confuse, i explained on the bottom of first page)



Night time


Simple Installation Video will be upload once the youtube have fixed their problems.
FAQ:
1. Regarding the load resistor problem, Tamas has given a brief explanation below. "you only need the resistor if you replace both tail/brake lights and the third brake light with LEDs. If you have the LED 3rd brake light but keep the filament bulbs in the other two, then you won't have a problem."
2. Rubber gasket is included but by using your stock OEM rubber gasket will give a better fitment.
3. Red and black wires just have to splice it to the plug originally from the brake light. Red goes to the Black and Yellow wires, Black goes to the Black.
4. Buying a small connector plug for the wire is recommended, around 50 cents.
5. Everything is direct fit, no modification is needed for the fitment.

add shelldude assuming the alignment problem in the pictures is an optical illusion. Something doesn't look right...

That smoked one looks great. The asking price 51.50 isn't a bad price either.

I hate to pry... but did you take any pictures of the tinted lights day/night?

Looks like you only have pics of the clear installed... TIA

It looks like there's an alignment issue with the first daytime picture. Otherwise I'd be interested, but if the fitment isn't spot on I'll pass.

Pattern and overall look is great but it doesn't look flush. It looks sunk into the trunk.

Actually i would say that picture shows a bit off but it did came out pretty good on fitment, i would say if you are using the stock rubber gasket will be even better, i will try to install a different one tmr and take a close up picture. The paypal will be solve tmr. sorry for the delay.

Ross Dawg's got it... that's the one that got my attention. I'll have to pass if that's going to be "normal" fitment.

Regarding the fitment issue, i double check and make sure that is the picture's problem, let me explain how i said so. first, when we look at picture at that angle, we saw the clear plastic on the side and since inside is dark, it shows that there is a gap but actually there is no gap but the clear plastic in the side made us confuse. Picture below clearly shows the side is clear and when you put into the trunk it will cover up the light and looks black.

but if we look at the front picture, it will not be a problem and everything fit fine.

Hope this will answer you guys' question. Don't let the pictures confuse you or i might take that picture off if needed. thanks.

So saki, the one you have installed (and shown in the pictures) - is that the clear one or the smoked? Just asking because it seems it's the clear but you said you got the smoked.
The photo of the uninstalled smoked light seems to have a much darker tint than your installed pics would suggest.

those are the smoke tinted one, seems like under the sun it looks like clear. But the picture for the uninstall one is the one that i installed. maybe it is too bright to see the light tint. the camera setting might be an issue as well.
