IPCW Tail Lights
I've been considering IPCW tail lights for a while now. I have a few questions: Those of you who do have them, do you feel they were worth the money? Where did you get them from? Would you do it again if you were to get another HHR? How difficult are they to install? What is the flash rate like on the blinkers? Is it about the same as stock blinkers? They don't blink really fast or anything right? Since they are like $200-$300, I would hate to spend the money on them and be disappointed. I do like the way LEDs in general look. I used to have LED bulbs, and I liked the way those looked, except I had to remove them because I screwed up the wiring and caused electrical problems because I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to wiring/electrical stuff. :lol: Share your thoughts....
Thanks, Tyler |
Love em. My favorite mod so far, worth the money for me. Its all about personal taste though.
Functionally, they are great, and install isnt too difficult. If you can take off the stock light housings, the LED ones install the same way and just plug in to factory bulb sockets. |
I got mine from Maggie at Race and Street. Install was plug and play. You will be VERY happy with how bright the led reverse lights are!!! Waaaaayy brighter than stock.

Get em!
I bought mine on eBay and had the dealer install them. They are much better. They look modern, they can be seen from farther away, and they blink at normal rates. My problem has been getting LEDs for the high-mount 3rd brake light to work properly because I feel that the regular bulbs there look weird with LEDs in back everywhere else.

Got mine from Race&Street too.
Rate is about the same as stock. The thing I like most about them is that the top and bottom set light up when driving. Much easier for the other morons to see you. Plus they look cool as hell. |

Always wondered about that. Are there any wiring changes needed to have the lowers lit as running lights ? |

Thank you Sir, that makes sense..

Yeah they are way nicer... and I do think they are one of the best bang for your buck mods.
I agree the double running lights are super cool http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ASLEDs019a.jpg The reverse lights are way brighter http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ASLEDs021a.jpg I also bought from Race And Street. They were also the cheapest. No blinker change, they have a built in resistor so they don't blink faster. Install is EASY! Go thru here http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs003.jpg Each light housing is covered with a plastic cup which is secured with 3 nuts shown here, remove those nuts http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs005.jpg unplug the lights & Remove the plastic cups and pull the light housing from the 1/4 panel http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs008.jpghttp://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs009.jpg here you can see the stock lights and the plastic cups http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs012.jpg Reinstall the IPCW lights and plug in to the stock harness. Also you can see the small wire in the pic. That is the wire that plugs into the lower light that gives you the cool double running light rings http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs015.jpg They are so cool http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...RASLEDs016.jpg |
