Ive never been a fan of the square pattern they did the LED's with on these. I think you can hold out for something better. More importantly, these only come with the outers, so will look awkward with standard bulbs on inner trunk lights.

I've never seen these. I think the would look cool if you smoke em a little bit. Get a matching set of trunk lights an you maybe onto something cool.

I just got these

With a matching set of trunk lights both lightly smoked

I can attest to Mike's LEDs..I saw his car back in 08 and they looked hot!

ON a sidenote, I just spotted these tails

Now I'm wondering if I should have got the red set instead of the smoked clear ones...hmm we'll see how they look next week when I toss em on

I wanted a different classy look but didn't want too much red in the back..I hope it works in person

Yep those are the ones I have you might have to do the brake light indicator mod, do a search on I thinks it's either Bananags or Jeff Tsai threads one of them has a thread on how to do the mod its been so long when I did it that I forgot.

Since you only have the outers you probably won't have that brake light indicator on the dash I think when you also have the inner and outer lights thats when it comes on. You should be good like I said I bought mine about 4 yrs ago and they still look and work like new no issues whatsoever .

Congrats!

Have you done the "european all 4 lights - work" mod?
If not, pretty much, no reason to upgrade to inner leds as well!

Good luck and post night shots when you have time!

I believe you can find them on Ebay. Without the Inners though.
