430 Any one order or have the Morimoto Tail Lights?

I'm in Somerset, but no biggie, I can get to Middlesex or Monmouth

 

Got mine installed this past week. I like the reverse light and the overall look when off. I do have to say though, the glow of the PB Engineering lights was much nicer as it was more diffused. The hardest part was finding some steel to stick the magnetic circuit board and heat sink.

I had mine out last night, and the way the PB lights look at night, not sure if it can be any better, the halo glow is awesome.

They look OK though and better than stock.

 

Joe r u saying the halo glow isn't that good?

 

For comparison!

No, it’s very bright and looks great. Don’t get me wrong, it’s well designed and looks good. I just think the diffused glow of the PB lights (even though not as bright), was a nicer look. Strictly aesthetically speaking.

I'll admit, I didn't read the instructions I did position the driver's side as pictured, but used the lower mounting bracket in that passenger side picture instead. Something about placing a strong magnet on something that flows fluid turned me off. Probably just me being paranoid, but I didn't want it to collect and fine particles there and then let them all go at once if I ever removed the magnet.

 

So I missed that part. What is the magnet for

 

There's a small board with heat sink for each light (similar to PB engineering and Scud Ing Swiss but they don't have the heat sink). Since it's pretty substantial, they put a magnet on it so you can mount it easy without drilling or modifying anything.. Also, the lights use thumb screws for the installation which made it about 50x easier than the others.

 

The more I see these style of lights on F8’s and 812’s. The more I want them. Would really update the look of my 360 with a stock look. Anyone have any insecticide for this mod bug? lol

 

There is no known cure. There are weekly meetings you can attend

 

I just ordered a set in "smoke" version to replace the black Novitec tail lights. The brake light in the engine hood is the latest version of Novitec, in black. I think the Morimoto lights match better with the brake light.

If I had a 430 it would a no brainer . Look stock, look great. Great choice.
I have a 360 and agree the appearance doesn’t do it for me. I’ve done LEDs on my Corvette and the manufacturer gave an option of “ red” or “ backed our” . On the 360 the Morimotos look like the black out option on Corvettes .
Too bad I really wanted them , but the cosmetics don’t do it for me. Fcat saved me from making a poor choice.

 

Couldn't resist myself, my order is placed. Hard to beat 10% off plus free shipping.

 

Some recent shots…

TUT TUT - I see they have just put the lights up by another $100 to $1400 which counteracts there 4th of July offer!

 

Not sure what site you looked at but Thelightinguru and Morimoto still has them at $1300 ans sale still on till tomorrow

 

Ah, I refreshed the screen and it added the Euro harness!

Being a UK car do I need that?

 

I think so, but not 100% sure.

 

Has anyone received a set of smoked tails yet?

 

Anyone who swapped to these looking to sell their old lights? I need an inner OEM taillight for a 430.
