Default Which LED Tails?

Those that have led tails, which brand would you recomend? Price not so much of a consideration, but quality more so. I'm getting tired of being harrased for my blacked out stocks. Its for an 03 GS300 if it matters. Thanks

Nicest LED Tails IMO. If I had to do it over again, I'd get those in a heartbeat

Since when? And how many have problems? 1 out of the thousands sold? Cant base the quality of one of the best tails sold on just a couple instances... I've had mine for a couple years already with no problems.

You send them whatever tails you have factory or aftermarket and tell them what you want and how you want it and they'll do it

One guy that I know has it and when he hooked up the resistors for the inner tails it was soo hot it blew out a component that is located in the back of the trunk which i dont know what its called. I'm saying this from a guy that owns one.

they're not really making them anymore. any depo tails you see popping up would be leftover or returns from before.
