Replica TailLights Question.....

Im in need for some taillights because my little experiment earlier tonight didnt go so well on one of my stock tails.

What are the fitment issues with the replica tails you see on ebay for example?? If any one has pics I would love to see them.

PM me if you go a good deal on replicas or OEM Black housing(Mint Quality)

Thanks

i have the ebay jdm tails. the $180 was well worth the money.. They havent given me a problem in 3 years now, minus one reverse bulb going out on me. just so happens i had my stockers to pop in.. Well worth the savings.

There's also a movie about the ebay tail lights... Some lights, a lake and a desert eagle were involved...

well it depends on what brand you get, ebay does not make the lights, so you gotta make sure you get a name brand that has good reviews. I have the JDM tails made by Depo and they are great quality, perfect overall fitment, and never leaked.

i read about a guy that had the depo jdm replicas and loved them. apparently fit and finish was identical to the oem, the only difference was the name stamped on them

the depo lights are good and worth for the money they cost, all you hve to do is swap the wiring unit from your oem to the depo lights, since the depo lights have very thin wires

I have the JDM tail lights on my car, no one can tell the difference until they look at the name stamped on them. The fit is great, they look great, and they don't leak.

I am contemplating on the Depo Flat black ones myself, I say get them from EBay. They are $179 plus $40 bux for shipping which is a bit less than the place listed above. The $220 does not include shipping so save a few bucks on Ebay.
