Talking IPCW Black 3rd Brake Light replacement

Hi everyone,

I replaced my brake light with the IPCW LED3-420CB (Bermuda Black).

Got it on Ebay for 100$ (not cheap but I'm going for the all black look)

It arrived within a few days packaged like an action figure (my old light shown in the package here)

It was an extremely easy install, simply loosen the spare tire a little then unscrew the 4 screws on the back of the brake light arm.

Simply disconnect the light, swap the part, reconnect and screw back in. Takes about 5 minutes in all.

Here is the result:

I was hoping the LED backs would be black but overall it's pretty good looking.

My next step is getting the regular brake lights changed for these:

I've already replaced the turn signals and fender lights with the RECON smoked ones. I posted some pics here:

Looks very homemade. I would have just gotten it tinted and saved myself $95.

I had considered getting their Bermuda Black Tail Lights, but after my total disapointment with the Recon Smoked Turn signals I held off. It's hard to tell in the pic you took of it when not lit, but does it appear completely black when it's just sitting there or are the white led's visible?
