Valenti's Installed! (Picture/Video HEAVY!)

Well, I got my Valenti tails from ModBargains yesterday, and installed them immediately. Here's some pictures of the process, and after photos.

Here's them out of the box:



Valenti VS Stock.



Fully installed.




Some glory shots...



Getting some love at the meet that took place later that night.


And lastly, a quick video I took after installation.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcT21GHGC3c"]Valenti Tail Lights - FRS/BRZ/GT86 - YouTube[/ame]

Pictures do these tail lights NO justice. All these were taken with an iPhone 5. You really need to see these in person to truly appreciate just how beautiful they are. The light output is amazing, the brakes are extremely bright, and the signal flash is just as bright. Installation was a breeze, if you have a deep socket, the 4 bolts needed per side will be off in a minute.

Thanks for checking 'em out, if you have any questions just shoot me a message or comment back here!

If the brake light tubes were red, I would be all over them! They actually look pretty damn good on whiteout, though!

Congrats on the lights! They do look nice!

Have you run into any problems with the signal lights? My right side has 3 LEDs not working when I use my turn signals. It's a bummer but I'll still leave it on my car.

Works fine for me as of right now, but they haven't even been on the car for 24 hours now. So I will keep you updated.

You're going to kill him?? nice looking lights!

No light looks good in pictures. Light output always looks orange, and over saturated. The reflective bits don't help either.

Got them from ModBargains.com. And sorry about that! The brakes are another LED strip under the tube, and are very bright!

They look great! But, as two others have said above, my right turn signal is jacked up. The last 3-5 LEDs that are a part of the downward arrow have gone out on me. Idk what to do
