I usually hate these types of lights. But the smoked version might match up nicely with a set of black pearl badges.

I don't know why anyone is surprised. I remember I wrote in a post a couple years ago that I spoke to guy at Dub that worked for APC and he told me that the market for alteza tails was coming. he basically told me that in a year or so we would start to see different versions of taillights for our model, it started with the Wise/quest led lights last year and now the market has come full circle for our model. All these lights are coming from taiwan where apc gets thier stuff, just cause a big time company like JP or Wise rebadges it doesn't make them different. I think to myself that if Junction produce took these lights and put their name on them we start to see them in VIP magazines. Just cause they are not Named Wise or JP doesn't make them different ? Does it?

EXACTLY -

Double the prices, slap a logo on it, and throw it in a few magazines and some of the people who don't like them will start coming around...

I'm actually somewhat interested in buying that smoked set. If I drove a black GS, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Alpine silver... hmmmmmmmmmm- might be a little too much contrast for me. What these guys need to do is also sell the inner trunk lights... HELLOOOOOOOOO MCFLY!!!

Thats the one thing I HATE about the used luxury car market, the price comes down so people that really are more geared toward a lesser car creep in and then buy stuff like this! lol

I really cant believe what I'm seeing!
