Well to each his own. But IMO I like both inner and outer the same. To me when it's half and half reminds me of all those honda peeps putting the altezza style lights on the outers and leaving the middles stock. Doing half and half just doesn't look clean to me. BUT like I said to each his own. So more props to you for being different.

Looks pretty bad imo..

looks like either...

1. You didnt finish it
2. You bought an incorrect part and put it on anyways

On top of that the red doesnt match at all. Put the rest on man

I got some for my old Lexus and they of course got a ton of moisture inside....just like EVERY set of aftermarket tailights EVER made. Pissed me off!! what a waste of about $300. I will never buy another pair again unless they come with a couple year guarantee.

You could, but a quality product shouldn't need resealing right out of the box.

well the aftermarket ones from ebay arent exactly the Louis Vuitton of brands. tend to be mass produced somewhere in like China or Japan.

I just dont think that after spending almost $300 on lights anybody would need to modify them at all. but i guess if someone wants them that bad they'll figure somethin out

either pay $1300 for the jp set or get the cheapos and put silicone on them to seal them properly.
what we want and what we get are two different things, the only thing that matters is how we deal with what we get.

They look killer, but I can't deal with moisture in the lens. That would drive me insane. I guess it's the stockers for me.

you could just buy them and hit the edges with some clear silicone before putting them in...

I have had mine for about one month now, and they have been put to the test, below zero temps at night to above freezing in the day. Through the car wash about every other day, to keep the black clean. Not one leak, and absolutely no moisture in them, what so ever. I paid $215.00 shipped. I was going to go through Luxurymods.com, but I got extremely impacient, and ordered them a distributor that I know.

you guys forgot about the nice ones from japan that cost around 250 - 300.
the ones on ebay has the chrome trim around the red. The nice ones that im talking about doesnt have them. IMO ebay ones looks cheap. theres a thread about this

why anyone would pay $1350 for something you can get for $300 + take 5 minutes to make just as good is beyond me.
