    Sorry. Forgot to add Amazon link...
    https://www.amazon.com/Tail-Module-...de+dynamics&qid=1563325222&s=gateway&sr=8-31#
    Screenshot_20190716-210043_Chrome.jpg
    Was pretty straight forward. Plug module inline between the factory harness and the taillight... jump black wire to green wire of module harness with supplied tap.. then remove amber signal light and replace with good 7440 white led bulbs. I'll see if I have link to those as well..
    Here's the link for leds...

    Maybe a total half hour install time...

    Tried to install my ARB compressor this weekend, turned out to be a bad wire harness and pressure switch. Just my luck. Emailed ARB about warranty just waiting now.

    Any idea why it says 2014-2017?
    Are the connectors different?
    Someone had that problem with the 3rd brake light.
    Thanks for the follow up!
    Much appreciated.

    I cut it just short of the grooves on the insides. Thus, if you can see above the car, you can see the gray on the inside of the grooves of the rail. I don’t have crossbars at the moment.

    I changed some lights, tires and tinted windows...mind blowing huh

    yeah just goes over the outside of the lights, provides some protection against rocks and scratches (they also have it in clear) and changes the color of the light. I was going this route since the led's are white.

    this is how it looked on the previous set of fogs:

    Hey Dan I think Jennifer @Strandskov is talking about these fog bulbs which are amber. They change the color and work very well.

    Okay I changed the entire housing out to the morimotos and you cannot change the LED in them, they are a sealed projector foglight so unfortunately if I want a color change this is the only option for me. If I retained the stock foglight housing I could have just put that in there, but it feels like these throw much better and have a sharper cutoff now. Ultimately yes the film does essentially the same as swapping for a colored bulb however I prefer the entire face being yellow even when its not on though.

    I need to do on-board air and I have also been seeing more and more issues with the ARB stuff. I am almost considering something like Power Tank now because of some compressor failures and quality control issues I've been seeing. I definitely still prefer an on-board compressor but a little doubt is creeping in.

    I emailed ARB with the issues and they responded the next day and said they are mailing out replacement parts. So I get mass produced things are bound to have issues, but at least they have great customer service.

    After years of aftermarket usage & purchasing. I have heard nothing but great things about ARB. They aren't cheap. Nothing good is.
    If they found a flaw & are progressively helping to fix it.
    That is a true 5* company to me.
    I wish I could fit their fridge/freezer in the T4R but the GSD dog would be pissed! Lol This is my area.
    We don't have kids. Maybe I should rip our the 60% rear seat & make a storage bin & shelf for it. Then I could get divorced and never see it!
    Maybe someday...

    You can always build your own CO2 solution. Half the price of the power tanks. Downside is you can run out. I'm starting with a 5# tank (already had from home brewing)
