Well cureently I am waiting for Led Bulbs for these tail lights


I'e already tested them with the red led bulbs to ensure they are bright enough to see from behind. I'm just waiting for the other pairs to come in. I will install them and install the Led rings seen in the picture. I'll keep you posted when I get these babies put in.

I personally wouldn't get LED tails, not for the reason i don't like the look of them, but if the led's ever went out you would have one hell of a time replacing them, and that is IF you can replace them.

I've thought about that, if an LED did burn out it would be hard to replace to almost impossible. but the tail lights look so cool. i have LED underglows on my truck and i've had them for about a year, so far so good and ther bright too, I just wonder if you can see the tail lights in the day.....???

^ yes, but they can still go out. an the ebay ones are sketchy at best. it is hit or miss, and if you miss then you are S.O.L.

If you get good LED's, you'll have sold the car before they burn out. But Fiirkan is right, the ebay ones are very rarely of good quality.

Yea, I got super screwed with mine. My leds went out within 6 months. I was very pissed off.
