First things first. I give HUGE props to DT_MOTO, place I got my Spyder LED tails and eBay vendor Nick suggested. Like I said, I had one that held water and talked to them on phone today after several emails. They are mailing me a brand new driver's side light to replace the one with water. Can't say enough great things about them because they are doing this without me sending old one back prior to sending out new one and they don't even require me to ever send it back. No money out of my pocket for a bunk taillight. I'll be cracking open the bad tail light when all is good, just out of curiosity sake.
Next, I got the new Samsung LED board. Just did a trial fit of a map light and was disappointed it wasn't a whiter color, but was like the SMD colored (slight purplish tint). Seeing both side-by-side, the new ones are easily brighter. So now I'm at a dilemma... Keep the nice pure white light or go with a little color hue but be even brighter?! I'm waiting till dark to make my decision and will update afterwards with pictures. I'm 50/50 on it now.
Hell of an idea there and definitely not a re-post. Thanks for the info! I assume this only works for replacing front OR rear though, right? Where do they hide this bulb as to not keep light from seeping out?
