Not yet. I think I am going to send halogens off for a HID retro. I may change my mind tomorrow.

Just to add - had 2 people pm me the same question. The load resistors are a must. You get the hyperflash without them. Don't use the ebay specials though, I've had terrible luck with them. I also highly recommend screwing them to metal/aluminum for heat containment purposes.

Last thing to add here:

Here's some pics of the back of the taillight before (with the hole for the BLIS module) and then showing what I did to seal the hole up.

Yup. First thing I peeled off. I'd prefer the LED tails without blindspot but they are outrageously expensive.

So your taillights had the spot for the blis module but the lights you bought didn't come with the module just the hole for the blis?
