Does anyone know if the smoked ones have an actual smoked lens, or is the housing inside the taillight smoked?

Josh i got one question for you. When you have the giac x ecu set on the pump performance mode, and you floor the car from like 40. Does your tranny when it shifts kinda stall for a second and then kick in or does it shift smoothly???

I heard its a common problem and that you need a tip chip which im looking into getting. Just wanted to see if you were experiencing the same problem since you have a tip also.
What gear are you in? Mine does not do that. If I am in 3rd at about 30 mph or so and floor it it will do that but thats just because the gearing is wrong so it slips a bit to let it catch up then grabs all the way. It did that before i got it chipped as well. And I can't change my settings. It's performance mode all the time. Can you change it on yours? If so how do you do that??? Maybe i can and just don't know how. LOL

yeah i got a 5 program giac x chip. i have pump performance, stock,valet, kill and race mode. I switch it with the giac flashloader software for the comp and a usb cable that hooks up to the car. Im cruising like 40 in 5th gear and then when i use the kick down featre only when it shifts from like 2-3 it like slips for a second and then catches on.

do you have that problem?

Oh yeah if it's hesitating during a WOT it takes about 1 sec to shift. Thats normal. If you have a Tip Chip it cuts that down to about .3 of a sec. Are you driving in auto or in Tip mode?

I don't drive in auto EVER! Unless i am on cruise control on the freeway. What you are probably getting is gear hunting which is a normal thing when in auto. Try switching to TIP mode and I will bet your problem will be gone.

Looks good!!

were the LED lights a direct replacement? Did you have to use resistors or anything to get the LEDs to work? did the stock plugs fit?
