thanks man.. for the record and for people who only check the last couple posts in this thread, i didnt make the "rice" comment. i dont personally like any of the led version tails that are out, but thats as far as i went with talking about them. im not trying to criticize anybody that already has leds either. if someone asked ME if i liked them on their car, i would tell them no, because they asked for my opinion..but, i had no intention for this thread to turn into an "original jp or go home" type of thing... you can probably tell by the title of the thread when i made it i was just happy i got some new parts and was messing around posting up pics of a taped up box because i know it drives you kids nuts when people post teaser threads.

Guys lets please not trash and take Mikes thread off subject when the comment was made by another member not the thread starter. Lets get back on the real subject which is to be happy for Mike and say how pretty his new lights are

For the record Junction Produce Taillights are authentic Toyota parts that JP buys but pre-sealed/assembled. They Laser cut the orange out and insert a custom Euro clear lens where the Orange used to be. They had to fab up a Clear lens that is to exact spec of the orange they took out. They than seal the lights for the 1st time which is why their is no condensation or leaks with them, Sometimes when you unseal lights and than reseal them it can have small pockets where air/water can get in causing condesation. These are sealed/asembled for the 1st time after JP does their laser cutting as if toyota was sealing them for the time.

The product is not for everyone's budget. nothing wrong with getting lights that you like and are in your budget but we shouldn't jab Mike for getting what he wanted.

I liked LEDs from the first time I saw them and I still like them, but I don't like the fact that they are sold in every coner. Makes me wish I would have bought JPs since I paid a lot for my LEDs from carson before they hit ebay, oh well. However; I still like them, but I feel it's a less unique item now.
I am happy for members when they get what they want, even if I like it or not, it's your car and as long as you are happy, than that's all that matters.
I just feel like some members take there negativity the extra step for no reason.
upstate I will say it again, dope lights.

So do I, I got em everywhere front turns, rear turns, TAILS, front parking lights, door sills, ignition key ring, side markers... the only thing missing is the hight mount stop light (gonna wait to see if I can get a rear spoiler with a built in LED stop light...) went for that nice balanced look for the lighting, looks great, especially when it the lights shut off automatically; all at the same time with no delay like conventional bulbs.

you have the problem with the "fast blinker" since you're using those led bulbs? i wouldnt mind giving them a shot but i dont want the fast blink and also dont feel like having to mess around with adding resistors or whatever they say you need to do to make them blink "normal" again.

Its soo funny you say that. I couldn't the amount of de ja vu I was experiencing reading this thread.

Of course things are a little more aggressive nowadays, but still controversy.

Enjoy the new tails. I still remember the day bluelex got his, we were on the phone for like 2 hours talking about them and how nice they looked sitting on his kitchen table.
