Have not set a price, it will be up next week going to install the tail lights in 30 min.

For anyone interested in LED reverse lights Iinstalled the Gen5diy.com harnesses last night. It was really easy and the instructions have the resistors secured to the vehicle, which I like. Clean install, very easy. Did have to buy a 5 dollar rivet gun from harbor freight... no biggie. Harness was OEM quality, plug and play with no modifications (other than riveting the resistors).

Just did the install on the shop car for the LED RS reverse lamps. Check it out, works great. About a 30 minute install

Can you post pictures of your install? I cant picture in my head thow this would work

It is not too difficult. IMO the hardest part was the LED bulbs I got were somewhat long and where the light socket is located is quite limited room to work with so mine BARELY fit. You only need 1 harness to be installed on 1 side only and that will take care of both sides. So the harness on 1 side plugs into the factory harness (where you would normally put in the bulb) and then you new LED bulb plugs into the new harness which you will push into the socket. The other side all you do is replace your factory bulb with an led bulb. The harness on the 1 side will prevent the "afterglow" effect. That's it.

Oh I got that part. I was asking about the Phillips canceler

I got the philips canceller and it looked much easier then modifying the adapter with a dremel. It just tapped the wires really easily. Here's the links to the canceller and lights I used. Super simple install.

Does the canceller just go on the rivers side?

You only need one. I put it on the driver's side but I don't think it matters.

Oh ok sorry I did not get that canceller. I got another harness......http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...ilpage_o01_s00

I can verify it works to prevent the afterglow effect

Great write up sludge great video just ordered the parts you suggested thank you.

[chris227]

I had to use 1 on each side, had a few packs of 2 resistor lying around 25w. tried 3 different ones on the drivers side and in the end, just put one on the other side as well and everything was good. would not work with only one on mine. weird. gotta do the front next.

Thanks to Kashi, I swapped my reverse lights and crafted a quick and dirty guide with my GoPro. Overall this swap isn't that simple if you want to avoid the glowing LEDS of death. You will need a harness with an inline resistor on one side to eliminate the glow.

I have listed both the lights and the harness I used below the video.

Thanks for making this video. I changed my reverse lights today and used your video for reference. I got lazy and used the harness and lights from Gen5DIY. Other then having a hard time getting the OEM wiring harness apart, this went easy.
