They are the same lights sold by JP, Wise and atleast one other brand.
Who "makes" the tails? It is probably a 3rd party manufacturer.

I see. Thank you for the explanation. I see the price for the sets Carson is selling has come down
I may have to get a set.

Maybe a few quick sprays of a black paint and cleat coat will help match the glossy paint on the back panel, either way, I don't think that's a big deal.
On the other hand, does the JP tails also give a "bulb out" warning on your dash like the others?
I am still patiently waiting for mines to come in......

about the covers, today i actually took off my jp taillights. i noticed about those clips. the plastic on the jp led taillights are glossy like you said, the clips will fit but it will actually look pretty funny imho. nonetheless, the part is always covered so i do't think it's big deal
and for me? i still think the taillight "mod" that glen did makes them look better

Spray it on evenly. Since the paint is transparent, if you spray too long in any one area or if you coat more in one spot than another, there will be some variation.
I'd say coat evenly, take your time and give a good inspection between coats. You can always touch up if you catch it early on.

The hard part is making it trigger the warning light when the LED's burn out. It needs to send an open circuit signal to trigger.
