just got mine too

ProfessorDave · 11-29-2010, 04:05 PM

Thanks for the pics! A correction and question:
I am fairly certain that the Orange wire is REVERSE in the taillight harness. Green is Brake.

How is the light mounted to the Z? Are we going to be using the old black plastic frame? Double sided tape?

kenchan · 11-29-2010, 04:09 PM

yah, that housing looks very thin vs the oem fog lamp?

Not sure but I think we gonna reusing the old frame. The kit coming with double side tape.

Apparently the EVO R product development team LOVE'S double sided tape.

It's the NEW duct tape, fix all cure all mount all.

ProfessorDave · 11-29-2010, 05:48 PM

You can bet I'll be modifying THAT! Double sided tape is for trim. Screws are for foglights!

TipsZ · 11-29-2010, 05:49 PM

I have not made it home yet, but my wife told me earlier that a package from Taiwan arrived today. However, has anyone made a definitive choice as to whether we should somehow reuse the OEM housing with this?

ProfessorDave · 11-29-2010, 05:56 PM

TipZ, although I haven't received mine yet, the pics looks like we are to use double sided tape to stick the light to the valance. I'm sure we can come up with something better re-using the stock backing bracket and some long screws. I feel a Macgyver/Macgruber moment coming on...

I am liking this little product big time, plus I am a light whore lol so love seeing lights everywhere.

ProfessorDave · 11-29-2010, 07:07 PM

Um, Chris, you're not supposed to admit to being a light whore. You're supposed to act with indifference. Like, "that's a nice light, I guess."

shaun66 · 11-29-2010, 07:18 PM

So if you wired it with instructions provided by EVO-R, it will flash only when braking right?

ProfessorDave · 11-29-2010, 08:00 PM

If you follow those instructions, it will only flash in reverse.

atl370z · 11-29-2010, 08:06 PM

I wonder if EVO R does local pick up in Taiwan?

chuckd05 · 12-01-2010, 09:59 PM

What color is the reverse wire ? I want it to flash when in reverse but stay on when I hit the brake...
