Default Tail Lights-What's YOUR opinion on these?

I've seen quite a few different styles of LED tail lights and most are gay and very cheap looking with NO creativity... However there IS one set I've seen that have the same look as OEM, but are hard to get a hold of... Anyways, saw these and if I can get my 2 week old stockers sold soon, I'll be getting them. ok, now heres the pic, what do you think?:

I like those over just about every other led tail I've seen. I wouldn't have taken the amber out of my 99 tail lamps. where did you find them?

I looked at these as well. The 118 LEDs sound great but not sure about the brightness or quality. I haven't been able to find any reviews on them, and at $500, too risky to do on ebay with no refund.

i'd think twice about what you just said. His car's a 98, buying a set of 01+ taillights, which are now deprecated stock, actually costs close to what you would pay for 2 sets of LED tails on ebay.

and besides, this is a repost. Multiple repost. USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.

You can go to their online store.. but, dont remember them saying no refunds... However, all my VIP stuff and/or upgrades and have NEVER had a problem with them, I buy direct from them instead of ebay. Everything I've gotten from them have been great quality. Oh yea, and they basicly overnight their stuff. Not sure if I get them that quick because I'm in Cali, but I get everything VERY quickly...

This is a repost though. There was a thread about trying to get a group buy on these. I forget which company makes these lights.

DUDE! If you can find me one.... send it my way! All I do is browse ebay when I'm bored, and I find NOTHING! The one I mentioned in the original post is close to stock (but led) but doesnt have enough led's and looks gay. looks like 2 sets of squares! I really dont like it.. HONESTLY, if you find it let me know.

you know what man, i just have to laugh. there's an entire thread (maybe sticky? can't remember) called "official aftermarket headlight/taillight" something or other like that. if you keep posting things like this there are plenty of long term members who won't be nearly as nice to you as i was.

EWE!! NO!!!!! LoL... those ones with the circles are DISGUSTING!!! Yea, Ive seen those... but they dont have the shape I want (as I stated earlier) the FIRST ones are perfect, but in style, but the led formation is ugly,IMO... I dont like how the led's are "squared" looks pretty cheap to me. the other I dont like the huge chrome piece on the bottom. The one that is smoke and red is perfect, but I dont want the smoke, I want clear/chrome. when they first came out, they were available, but they went pretty quick. If all else fails, I'll get the Junction produce ones, but $800..... damn!
