Anybody running these tail lights?

[99RedGs]

I have a small crack in one of my tail lights which causes moisture to get in and while looking around ebay for something else I stumbled on these tail lights. I'm wondering if anyone in here has these.

If so:

-How is the light output on the LED's??
-Is the red color they use on the lens close to OEM color?
-Does the chrome housing show through the red lense?

They look to be pretty close to OEM look but with LED's which to me is a more modern look. I'm not looking for flashy, but for $100 thought they might give a decent little accent. (Yeah, yeah, I know this is DSMtuners and we all like OEM so our cars look exactly the same with different wheels)

If you have them could you please post a picture of them on your car?

Those actually don't look too bad. There basically altezzas, that have been tinted red.They don't look to bad for 100$.

Those do look good, wish they made 1g talon tails like this.

You can always mod a set of 1g tails. Or get replacement leds for the stock bulbs.

Most of the time e-bay tail lights and headlights are very poor quality compared to OEM.
I would just find a nice used OEM tail light.

I've been thinking about buying these just so I can remove the lens and put them on my custom LED tail lights.

Ive been looking at these and the chrome one of these aswell. There pretty nice, ive not round to buying them yet as they want more for shipping to the uk then the bloody item haha

Try them out and tell us how they are. The ebay head lights look sooo sexy but they suck for light out put.

I would prob just fix the crack and tint them to hide my handy work

All those little led's look kinda cheesy to me,but thats just me.I kinda like the stock look tail lightsa.I saw 4 or 5 sets at the salvage yard by me.

Not bad makes me wanna try a set. Ill keep my middle piece oem though.

 

[muddfisher85]

You should do a review on them. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Im not a fan of the middle either. I bet those taillights would look really nice with the center painted to match the car.

 

[muddfisher85]

I think I will do a review on them when they get here. But I can already tell you I wont be using the middle part. But I will post pics of it installed for you guys interested. I want them to look stock but with leds in a different patern then just buying led bulbs. They should be here on the 4th. Ill keep you posted.

Can't see the LEDs in those things lasting for long.

Awesome, Thanks for biting the bullet on it. I would have done the review, but tuition just went through and emptied my bank account until next pay period..

Agreed. The outrsides look nice but the centers if I had would be painted to match the car.

Honestly I don't like those tail lights but what would look cool is to modify them, with the stock Eclipse tail light red lenses. So they look stock until they light up.

, not really. It's cheap Chinese parts, quality LEDs cost more then those tail lights. Trust me I know, I've got well over 2000 Phillips Lumileds to convert all my cars lighting to LED.

How about making me a set?

Sure, you're looking at close to or over $1000 for parts and labor. Custom designed PCBs, hand soldered, enough LEDs to do all of it, etc.

Shoot, I could do all that for only $950.00

(But I won't)

Thats a little to many lights for me and way to expensive. I would love to mod them with stock lenses or maybe tint the red. I hoping they are dark to start off with but we will see. I hope the bulbs last a while!
