What do you think of these LED tail lights

[2gObsession]

just curious if anyone has these.? opions about these? i like the look to go with the flow of my car. I know the oem are sexy but i would like a change. i like the black houseing and the leds to go with the 3rd brake light. I have the black housing projector headlights i figured this would just flow nicely. any down fall? any pics of them on our cars?

Thanks for posting this... I've been eye balling these for quite some time now (I just can't justify spending the money on them when there's other stuff that I need more). My current tail lights are the crappy fake CF sticker garbage ones.

My personal opinion is that these tails look great, and like you said would match really well with the black housing headlights. I too would like to see some real world pics of these installed on somebody's car.

 

[turbizzle]

those look pretty good dude, match those with some smoked out headlights and your car will be looking pretty sharp

These have been on Ebay for quite some time now but they are really overpriced. I personally think that they can be "smoked" more (darker) as to hide everything inside the housing and then just let the LED's do their job. Btw, the center panel should be thrown out in the trash if purchased....

I'd throw the center section away. No need for spider eyes.

Down side is there real expensive and you will be mad when the simple resistor regulating circuit fails. I would buy these and pull them open and add voltage regulators. I don't know whats in that black box beside diodes but I doubt there are regulators or a pwm in there. Oh yeah and that center panel has to go or paint over it. You could also sequence them like I am doing with mine.

To be honest those actually don't look too bad. I like the blacked out looked. I've never liked the center pieces of any aftermarkets though, they just look fugly.

 

[2gObsession]

yeah i wouldnt use the center piece. mine is already painted to match the color on my car
any with these have pics?? and also how would you go about blacking them out a lil more or tinting them darker? i would REALLY like to black out my 3rd brake light on my wing! that would look smooth also

i think it looks really ricey. Keep it OEM with a few tasteful mods and you'll get way more propps on your car. IMHO

If I had ugly aftermarket tails on my car and wanted to replace them, I'd probably go ahead and pick up a set of these (EDM tails with amber corners would be my choice for my 2g though) but yeah, throw away that center piece if you do buy them. Don't forget to take pics as well if you do

I like the outside lights, but not the center section. Im really picky about putting aftermarket tail lights on a dsm. It is really easy to cross the line and become a "ricer"....That is scary word..

God forbid that someone mistake you for one of those.

 

[2gObsession]

Haha yeah no doubt. but im lookin for a clean change. ill have some pics of my ride up soon enough. just waiting to get a nice day out here and the time to do it.

 

[PieEyedPiper]

They look great with no power, but those circle clusters of LEDs are quite distasteful.

 

[turbodsmawd420]

If they were fully smoked out and the LED's shined through i would be a definate buyer. Minus any center lighting,i'd rather go with the painted center light. Ive actually seen a really nice CF Center Piece on EBAY that takes place of the center light, but just couldn't bring myself to buy it at the time....wish i would have caught his seller name.

I agree +1

 

[2gObsession]

so what would you guys think if i bought these tails, kept my current center piece thats painted to match my car, and bought a can of that spray tint to tint them a shade darker rather than the black out covers... so the led's arent too dark when there lit? I would tint the 3rd LED brake light bar on the wing as well...any opinions on that?

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

I think those would look ok, if you don't use the nasty middle piece, and just use stock center painted, and red out the others.

 

[2gObsession]

Red out the others? what do you mean by that?

 

[Killa_dsm]

Well I was surfing around on a Japanese Eclipse site and found this. Looks to be the same as the one in the ebay auction. Thats the only one I could find.

Wow, those really are ugly installed... Stock tails or EDM's FTW!

 

[2gObsession]

ok so what if i smoked the stock tails with a spray tint and did the same with the 3rd eye

would that be tasteless? any opinions on that?WTF

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Yeah, now that I've seen a pic of them installed I take back my previous statement. They look real ugly but I'm not exactly sure why; maybe it's because in the pic the stock center piece is still there. Also the LED's lit up also looks a bit distasteful. I would stick with stock over those or if you can get your hands on some expensive ass EDM tails then that would work.

 

[EDM95]

Those tails are and they hate on my altezas
