Default 2nd gen led taillights?

ok hey guys my name is danny and i currently sold my s2000 to buy me a gs300 because i have always wanted to go towards the vip route and since there are so many honda thieves where i am from but anyways i did my research so dont get me wrong i might have miss it but i was wondering who is using LED taillights and where can i get them for a good price besides trying to save up big money for the JP ones and plus my inner trunk lights well the right side is faded and it looks pinkish instead of red so if anyone knows or has anything, help would be appreciated thanks guys

ebay is where most people get them for cheap. Do an advanced search in the 2nd Gen GS300 forum and u will find a ton of info.

E.g: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...il-lights.html

Welcome by the way. Post some pics of the new ride. Pow!

I've never thought to see if it is possible, but i am sure if an LED goes out, it can be replaced. Granted you have some soldering skills.

yessir i do so i gota take the taillight in half then no but the only reason why i was looking to replace my taillight was because the inner trunk lights were faded to pink but i went earlier to Micheals and bought me a can of red glass stainer paint and it looks a alot better then before so the led taillights might be a later down the road mod but how much do the insurance ones cost?

The inner lights fade on pretty much every 2GS lol. You can get some DEPO tail lights on eBay for around 225

I have the first batch of Quest led tail lights that I got from a groupbuy 4 years ago. The leds are still good. I'm taking these off though and going back to stock.
