Before I got used to the look, the Bermuda Blacks almost gave the impression of being spider/bug eyes :O Kinda creepy lol

Ok, I got the last pair. They look good.
last question though...
Are the front and rear blinkers linked together as far as bulb out warning?
If so, does this mean that the front blinkers will accept any LEDs now that the ipcw prevent hyperflash, or are they separate?

I havent tried it, but they are all on separate circuits direct to the computer. If you ever try to reset the tire pressure sensors, the front and rear light up independently. I would guess load resistors are still required if not built into the bulb (spiderlights are often canbus compatible). If it wasnt cold enough to lose fingers, Id go out and try mine.

Oh ok. I don’t have a model with tire pressure sensors, but it’s probably the same. Any one know of a good pair of LEDs that will work in the front with internal resistance? So far I have heard spider LEDs.

The IPCW's are plug and play. I have had them in over a year no hyperflash no issue just awesome lighting and confused tailgaters. You will have some inattentive drivers look at your rear and only see black, and kind of "panick stop" when they magically light uop bright red. The running LED ring lights are very bright by themselves, but the actually brake lights are VERY bright, some early morning commuters dislike sitting behind me at stop lights before dawn. I had an irrational fear of police thinking I have blacked out my tail lights too, but so far I haven't had an issue. In fact, they probably appreciate their clarity and brightness.

One thing to be aware of is that it is possible to plug the LED's in backwards, so just make sure you check their function after install, before patching everything up. I also had to kind of spread the contact apart on one of the plugs because it would refuse to plug into the socket at first.


I have to say besides the TTR Sway Bar, the IPCW lights are thebest mod on Gregg so far.

How do the rears look Gio, or rather where's the pic? Did you find a pair of led's that don't require external resistors?

The IPCW Bermuda or ruby red LED tails don’t require a resistor
