Default Looking For Tail Lights

Hey guys. I've seen some of your cars on the forum and noticed that your LED tails have a thinner clear strip at the bottom. Anybody care in helping me find some on like eBay or something. Thanks.

Ya the 01' tails look sweet. I've been on the search for the thin turn signal LED tails non smoked for some time now on ebay and nothing is coming up. They had the thin strip smoked ones on ebay last month, but it looks like even those are sold out now.

Thin strip led tails...


Best looking fat strip led tails, the LED pattern in these is less square then some of the other fat strip LED tails. Also these are being sold with the inners that have more of a round LED pattern using 15 LED's, much better looking when compared to the square 9-led pattern that the other sonar inner tails use...

Thanks. If I do go with the 01 tails, is there any way to clear out the amber on them?

facelift tails can not be cleared many guys have destroyed them trying.

older tails can be cleared.

best bet is to pick up a set of led's in the configuration you like and be happy as there are many mixed reviews of attempting to clear older style tails

Check the vendors, Luxury Mods has them. The thin stripped LED Tails are made by a company called INSURANCE. Luxurymod had a group buy for them for $400.

Thats the link. Seems like Insurance is a Taiwanese company.
