New tail lights......depo

Just got depo jdm tails. Fitment is good so I'm pretty happy with them so far. I went around the lights with clear silicone just to make sure they will not leak.

They look really legit. I used to own a pair authentic ones and these look almost identical lol but I'd assume there's a difference in quality..

Where did you order them from? I've seen them advertised pretty cheap on Amazon.

they are $175 on eBay, I like how they look pic my car. matches my jdm blacked out headlights. ^ why wouldn't you want depo to make the headlights? they'd probably be much cheaper and look just as good. only reason I got the headlights on my car is because insurance paid for them, way too much to buy out of pocket imo, but they do look great

Because then everybody will get them and there will be almost no market for the authentic jdm ones. It's sorta cool how they have the rare factor to them now, kind of makes them more desirable. How boring would it be if everybody had the same Depo headlights on their cars.

This is just my opinion..

I have had my Depot tails on for like 6 months now, from 90 degree weather to (currently -25 with wind chill) with no leaks, or moisture inside. I did run a seal of silicone around the joint before I installed them.

I'm sorry, but you must be outside your mind if you think I'm gonna pay $1700 for a set of headlights. That is the most absurd idea in the world.

Who cares about "sorta cool." That's absurd. I wish there was an alternative to the authentic lights, then it would create competition, lessen demand, and bring the ridiculous prices down on them. Also, for a part that is strictly changed for looks, there's no reason to pay almost $2000 for it unless you just enjoy wasting money.

I hear what you're saying, and I personally would never pay that much either, it's ridiculous. That's almost enough money for a brand new decent sized turbo. I just think nothing will beat the top notch oem quality of these lights... although depo did a pretty damn good job with the tails.

I found my JDM Evo VIII heads for $500

I would never buy them new. $1700 is just plain stupid for headlights
