Can you confirm that these fully work as described? Turn signals, brake lights, and tail lights?Mine came from AliExpress today - Install was pretty easy - I used some thin wire to fish from the bottom up, and I did enlarge large the middle hole but a little with a drill bit. I did not remove the bumper and I did not need to get my hand down there. I did remove the taillights and the 10MM bolt on the bumper to have some room to work. Overall I am real pleased with them, glad I did not pay the RPM tax (RPM wants $225 and these were $66 shipped for the same item).
As an added bonus I was able to transfer my Lamin-X smoked covers that have been installed for 4 months over - no problem - that stuff is awesome.
I hooked up one of these and can confirm that these sequential light kits are NOT 100% fully functional, when installed in U.S. built Model 3's. This is because the Model 3's built in Europe/China have a slightly different wiring for the tail lights than U.S. built Model 3's.Can you confirm that these fully work as described?

Do you have a video of how these look in motion? Does it have the sequential effect like the fishbone ones?I hooked up one of these and can confirm that these sequential light kits are NOT 100% fully functional, when installed in U.S. built Model 3's. This is because the Model 3's built in Europe/China have a slightly different wiring for the tail lights than U.S. built Model 3's.
So, here is what happens when you install/operate one of these kits:
1. Turn signal light on the reflector works perfectly
2. Emergency/Hazard light on the reflector works perfectly
3. Parking/head light on the reflector works perfectly
4. Brake lights on the reflector do NOT work/stay on. When you step on the brakes (or take your foot off the accelerator pedal to slow down), the reflector flashes once and then turns/stays off. This is due to the slight differences in how U.S. built Model 3's are wired vs European/China built Model 3's. All these kits are built & designed for European spec vehicles. There is a work-around to make the brake light function work properly, but it requires unplugging one of the two connectors supplied with this kit (I believe it is the connector with the blue and yellow wires, that you would unplug). When you unplug this connector, the brake lights on the reflector will work properly BUT you loose the turn signal function. So, you have to make a choice and decide which functionality is more important to you... the cool turn signal function or the brake light function on the reflector.
Personally, I wanted to have something with full functionality. So, I removed/returned my sequential reflector light kit. I bought the kit from Amazon with one day delivery and free returns, so zero risk to try/test out for myself to see if I like it.
However, I recently changed my mind and decided I can live without the brake light functionality, because having the cool sequential turn signal (and park/driving light functionality) outweigh not having the brake lights turn on (on the reflector). So, I have re-ordered the kit, this time from AliExpress (for $58 delivered). Also, the one I installed and re-purchased is not the fishbone pattern like what most everyone has. Rather, it has a more solid LED pattern, which I think looks much better (and is a better match to the existing OEM tail lights). See below.

Sorry. No video. However, from what I saw/observed, I think the sequential effect on the solid LED reflectors looks much better than the fishbone ones. The motion across the solid LED pattern looks more "natural" & smooth, like they were originally designed/installed on the vehicle by Tesla. By contrast, the fishbone pattern/motion effect looks more "aftermarket"... like you're trying to copy something else that just wasn't meant to be with the vehicle. It's totally personal preference, of course...Do you have a video of how these look in motion? Does it have the sequential effect like the fishbone ones?
Nice! Yea I agree that the fishbone do look a bit out of place.Sorry. No video.

Mind sharing the link? I wanna check it out.
Thanks. I wish there was a video showing off the turn signal blinking. That's mostly what I'm interested in. I'll message the seller to see if he has a clip.Sure, this is the one that I have on order. Looks like there no less than 50 other vendors on AliExpress, who are offering/selling this exact same product.
Prices seem to be all over the place.

That one definitely does not blink. It only lights up when you turn on your head/parking lights and/or press the brake pedal. You can tell this one won't blink (no motion) because this kit lacks the separate wiring harness. Also, the length of this reflector is shorter (by about 10 mm) than the stock one that is currently on our vehicles. So, it won't be a perfect fit. I'd stay away from this one, if I were you.There's also these lights for $23. I like the way they look but I don't think they blink sequentially.

Hey there. Unfortunately, that particular seller sent me a message indicating they could not ship the item due to what they called an “unqualified product quality inspection”. Not sure what the heck that really means, but they suggested I cancel the order. So, I did just that by selecting that particular order on my AliExpress account and clicking the cancel request button. The Seller responded and indicated my credit card will be refunded in 3-7 days. I was going to order the same item from another seller on AliExpress, but remembered that I have some reward points/credit on Amazon. With the credit applied, my net price for this item on Amazon was just a little more than the typical price on AliExpress. I decided the slightly lower price on AliExpress was not worth the additional hassle/wait/risk. So, I went ahead and re-ordered from Amazon with next day delivery. The reflectors were delivered today. So, I’ll install them tonight!I just ordered from the same seller as you. Let me know how yours look like since you'll get it first
