Default Picked up some LED tails (thin clear) on ebay for $160 shipped

I'll report back when I receive them. I figured at that price, and being thin strip vs. thick clear, couldn't hurt to try them out: Whether they last is another question...

Might want to preemptively run a silicon bead around the seals to make sure they stay watertight.

Like everything... Value comes down slowly after they aren't "new" and/or high demand as it's debut. Hope they turn Out good for you

Have mines for about 1 year already. Still good as new. I just recommend putting clear silicone around the lens so that it can seal as mentioned from Protagonist. I didn't know or do that and had a nice fish tank during my first wash.

Yeah those are pretty good looking. Attempted to buy these too but option didn't have them in stock. Hopefully they give you food customer service. Nice pick up

I've been looking for both the inner and outter l.e.d. tails like those you've linked us to (clean pic up btw and post pics soons!), but there are simply so many different brands out there. I'd tried doing research to no avail (my cousin had bought a pair about a yr ago - can't recall which "brand" - but some of the l.e.d. didn't even fully light up AND they were off of ebay!).Of course, we'd all want the JDM ones but they are just so expensive. Let us know how they are after you've sealed them!

Oh nice, i was looking for a pair like this. I don't really like the snowflake.

A lot cheaper than luxury mod's

I'm sure a lot of members here was able to get them off eBay. I believe the brand for these are Option Racing.
