Nope, they're still on back order, however Taba has always had them, but he only sells them in sets of 4. http://www.jzsinternational.com/serv...ISTO-GS/Detail The last I heard (over a year ago) they're sold in bulk to suppliers like every quarter thus only making them available every 3 or 4 months; then they go fast

I have the "inferior" thin clear lens LED lights, and have seen the insurance tails in person. I like them a lot and they work very well.. There are differences is what I am trying to say..

im sure the expensive ones are better but id rather spend $130 than $600^ when the difference is not that great, i mean if clear altezza taillights were 130 bucks then yea but the ones on ebay dont look bad and for the 130 bucks one should be able to enjoy them without them looking cheap.

Its about being exclusive... You see everyone with the $130 ones, why would anyone want to copy the rest? Many have the insurance tails, but they are so spread out, you dont see them. I see the retarded ebay ones A LOT around town I'll say, I'll take the Sonars over those others any day!

they make rook the same, but the "$130" ones might flicker later on as it ages.

the insurance tail lamps made by depo has much better quality, and the more LEDs used. the biggest difference is when they are lit at night.

"its about being exclusive"... "why would anyone want to copy"... my opinion here is completely neutral (aka: do what you want with your car) but i still laughed a little after reading this. although a slightly higher price point than some of the other options, the "exclusive" Insurance or Sonar tails you mentioned are still a knock off/copy/spin off of the original JP (hand modified OEM) non-led units pictured below, if you wanna get technical... to each his own.

my tails/personal favorite available for the GS:


if anyone's interested in these hit Luis @ l-tunedparts.com, he'll hook it up: http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1800

I personally dont feel the JP tails. Its still factory IMO. If they would make an LED version, I'd be all over them. When I upgrade, I upgrade not buy stock that has been changed...

and as you laugh at my comment... I laugh at your "neutrality" cause that's quite the opposite, this isn't the first time you've posted such a reply in regards.


and for the record, I didnt bring up the sonars, I merely wanted to be a bit less biased about them, I personally dont like them, but if I HAD to choose from those and the real bad ones on ebay I would... just as I said above.

I had the JP ones...I never put them on my car. They were brand new. I sold them to someone on here...can't remember who. I still rock my sonars from Carson and not a single issue with them. Its all about preference as mentioned above.
