I installed Type R LEDS rear turn signals and reverse lights. They are far better and brighter than the OEM filament bulbs, and nothing beats the crisp blink of LEDs.
Do you have a link to the product or a place to purchase?

Stopped for gas, they were out of premium so had to put some regular in there. :drool: It probably won't hurt it for now.
It's fine. The required fuel is actually Regular Unleaded; however, 91 Octane is recommended.

Looked at my FL5 today sitting under a cover and wondered when the road salt will finally be done in upstate NY. After a threat of snow this week, next week looks like it may serve up hope.

It's weird around Ohio, we have 87, 89 and 93 most stations. Some only have 87 regular and 91. 93 is usually $1.20 over regular. Gotta pay to play.

Got my main autoX wheels yesterday(BS legal spec, 18x9.5, ET53), while nothing is mounted I applied Gyeon Rim ceramic coat to it, the wheel is a matte/textured finish(BC Forged calls it shadow copper), it looks lighter in the picture than IRL. Its like a dark bronze color. Bathroom scale says its 18-18.5lb.

I did those lights as well a while back. Pretty easy install, I used which ever YT video I found and just followed that. Only hiccup was one of the turn signal when you push the LED "bulb" into its socket make sure it actually "clicks" in, otherwise it falls out...lol

For installation, do you just need to remove the plastic trim piece inside the hatch/behind the signals? I've had mine off for a month now while I've debated ordering these.
For the reverse lights yes behind the semi-square plastic panels on the inside of the hatch, easy install. The turn signals required a bit more - the removal of the plastic trim on the inboard side of each outer tailight. Then two screws are removed and the tailight is pulled out, harness unclipped for space etc. I'd highly recommend finding an instructional vid on YT so you know the orientation of the various clips etc. I watched this one:



Also shout out to @ram3noodles who told me about Type R LEDS, thanks bruh

Many thanks! I'll try to track down these LASFIT bulbs and hopefully I can get the hatch buttoned up again.

I left it off hoping the socket I dropped in there would magically fall out, but it appears it likes its new home. ?‍♂

Oh nooo, that's a bummer. Hopefully it'll at least stay quiet if it's going to live there! I'm sure the Lasfit are just as good as the Type R LEDS

Wherever it ended up, it's in there tight, because it isn't audible--I can only hear it rattling around in my soul, which is actually quite loud.
