I have them and have had them for about a year. Ive had 0 problems with them. They look identical to the authentic JDM for less than half the price.

who cares is me, If I can save a lot of money, I need to ask. This is my whole point. Almost everything these days is made in Taiwan, and some people feel that if they dont shell out full price, its just not gonna do it. After hearing a lot of people who actually have had them, I come to the conclusion that these are well made. people who have not had them are the ones that say go with JDM.

Thank you everyone for your help.

I have been told its hit or miss with the DEPO JDM style tails. Some aren't completely sealed and let condensation in, some have no issues.

If you have 9 tails, it seems like they go for around $200. Real JDM tails for bout $200-$250.

When i bought my car it had ebay JDM VII tails on it. They do not look good at all they look like someone just put a cheap piece of translucent red vinyl over a taillight. On the plus side they do fit just fine and i have never had a fogging problem. If i were you i would send your stock lights into EvoDave he does great work, he did my headlight JDM VIII, for only $150. Hope this helped a little.

If youre worried about the seal or condensation just go along the lining with clear silicone the day before you install them.

Ive had the DEPO ones for 2 years now.Not a problem.

Get em. Both my friend and I have them. They work perfect, come with bulbs, and look great. I have had no problem with mine, nor has he.

i dunno which decade you live in, but since post-90s, most so-called "things" are made in china or indonesia or some other south asian or east european country. not taiwan.
