Default Need opinions on tail lights
So I have been trying to figure out which tail lights to get, and have found two different iterations on ebay that I really like. I am still unsure on quality but have provided links to each specific set so if anyone knowledgeable would check the links and give me feedback on the quality or fitment I would greatly appreciate it!


I would get the inners to go with these:

Thank you very much!

I like the first set personally. Was gonna get them myself as well. I just wanted to make sure that the inners are the same. The first set is pricey but still better.

Check out this guy, he's cheaper in price .. a bit.

Thank you for the input! Are these all mostly made by the same company, but sold by different distributors? Or are they really all different, even if they look alike?

Thanks again.

The first set have the thick turn signal but they aren't the Sonars. They look cheapier than the Sonars because the turn signal is completely clear instead of wavy.

They are these ones. There used to be a lot of good deals for them on Ebay but lately they've been scarce. Maybe some will pop up in a few weeks.
