Yeah like I always say it really sets out your car from just another "magna". Especially from 50 meters away it looks like a different car at night. Friend was driving my car and i was driving his and cruising behind my car, I noticed it looks scary from behind. Looks mean at night. Anyway not sure if you've seen a picture of mine but here it is anyway. And take some pics of your one for us to see.
Just a note that the sigma came stock with garnish lights or "rear fog lights" as they call it in the sigma owners manual.

I've got a spare grey garnish and some TS mock-light thingies (the non-lights surrounding the number plate...) that I intend messing around with, trying to come up with a true "TS" garnish, as there was never any difference in wagon garnishes, just the grey and the red.

Aj did your ks garnish come with the bulb holders? If not, just pocket some at a wreckers. You'll find them on all of the veradas.
Looking good perry how mad is that. I bet you've turned them on and walked 25 meters away from your car to see how they look at night haven't ya? Haha
Do they light up when you brake too? Or just as fog/tail lights when the parkers are on?

He said that he hooked up the one part (brake filament power I assume) to the spoiler light (high-mount brake I assume); 1st assumption + 2nd assumption = brighter when braking assumption
