Nope. It's one single bulb. There are just two types of LEDs on the bulb, one set of white, one set of yellow. They are designed to use one strand for the constant, and the other for the flashing. The constant (white) does not illuminate when the flashing (yellow) is activated.

Next get rid of those horrific OEM taillights and get those (I believe they are LED) ones that are split red/clear horizontal!

I do plan on getting the SuperLux taillights. They look unbelievable!! But people have had sooo many problems with them leaking and LEDs burning out. I'm very cautious considering they're $400 and several have failed! But I will probably still get them in a few months since they're so damn sexy.

Yes those are the ones, I've only seen a picture of them on not lit up. Now that I see the LEDs inside, they look kinda ugly actually. (Why is that random LED look so popular?) What happened to just a smooth, solid red glow?
Oh and if it makes you feel any better, I looked at aftermarket taillights for the family car (2006.5 Kia Optima) and they are just under $1,000 shipped! Yes, that is 1/10th the value of the car..

Here is a better picture.
and the results of condensation/moisture getting into the housing:

Paul,
Can you confirm that? Would love to get a set for my clear corners if you have them. smile.gif
Do you need the relay, or will they flash like strobe lights without it? laugh.gif

I'm sure they'll flash like strobes. You need a new relay or use resistors to make 'em normal.
For Tiburon turn signals, Diode Dynamics has 1156 bulbs on their website but it IS NOT dual color: http://www.diodedynamics.com/catalog/produ...products_id=237
