Question After burn Taillights!!

I bought some afterburn taillights from AAC Style. All I need to do is get them installed, but theres the problem, very one keeps quoting me 400 to install them saying that its a "headache and I'm gonna be coming back to put more glue on the light" im guessing because it falls off?

Does anybody know a good place to get them installed in Southern California? If so please tell me where?

Thanks!!

Afterburner Tail Lights

I also am ordering the afterburner kit. I have no problem with the installation of the led's. the cutting, sealing etc: My only question is where do I hook up the wires. I dont wanna mess around for hours trying to figure out the correct wiring. Any help would be appreciated.

the other is CCFL, mine are CCFL, they are a glowing tube, where as SMD's are LEDs. SMD's produce a harder more defined light.

When you buy the afterburner kit it comes with wiring instructions. Its very easy, just tapping into two wires for each side.

Don't you have to cut a wire on the tail light plug to get rid of the running light? That is one of the biggest reasons I haven't done them. I don't want to cut the wire in case I ever wanted to go back to stock.

You just cut a prong on the bulb, not the wiring. If anything you'd just replace the bulb.

correct, just cutting one of the grounds on the bulb. That and they are halogen bulbs so wouldn't even be expensive to replace.
