I changed my '08 to '09 tail lights. I love them! Looks like mean eyes when turned on (no brakes).

They're the company who produces the "ebay" tails members refer to. Ebay is just the vendor.

The pic on the first page shows them at night, and I've had no problems with mine during any hours of the day. The quality earns a 9/10 from me, given there was no leaking, condensation, fitment/finishing issues, damages, failed LEDs, or poor materials used (I've seen/worked with some terrible examples of aftermarket lights, and these easily surpassed them in quality).

The build quality isn't top notch and not sure about the reliability as I have a set on for just a few days. Be warned that you may get a set like I have that the outer LED tail connector would not fit the connector from the car. Took me a while to tape the wires

Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll go with some redouts and save up for the IS-F taillights.

I am wondering for the people who purchased these for their 06' and were plug and play, which vendor did you purchase from?

I do not want to have to splice wires...

Mine is made by eagle eyes and the build quality is nowhere near OEM, and I have to tap wires (not direct plug and play for my 06). But, all lights are still in working condition so far.
