Spec-D JDM Tail or DEPO JDM tail ?

Okay , first, with the search button i found pretty good info on the DEPO tail lights. Overall , they are a great product .

But there is no info on the Spec-D Tuning JDM tail light that vendor lancershop sells .

http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...&cat=49&page=3

They seem to be very good , but they are also cheaper then the DEPO one .

Anyone can confirm the quality of theses, the fitment ...?

i know theres a lot of people running the depot ones. they have held up from what i read and only a slight few have leaked.

i dont think they are cheaper, i think they are the same price. on ebay the depots are 220 shipped.

Well , you are right for the price, they are about the same .

These one on ebay, with shipping , would cost me $260

And the Spec-D one , with the $20 discount offert by lancershop , would also cost me $260 .

FWIW, I had the real JDM 8 MR tails and a set of Depo knock offs and they looked literally identical. Other than the branding on them, you absolutely could not tell the difference from a couple feet away. I love having the real stuff, but when it comes to buying JDM tails again, I would probably rock the depo ones.

The Depo ones are $192 shipped on ebay. Unless I come across a set of used ones on here for less sometime soon, I'm planning on picking up a set of those since they seem to have a pretty good reputation.

does DEPO make any reps without the amber strip? The stock tails on the IX MR I just picked up seem to be leaking, and I'd like to replace them. If I can't find any used stock IX tails, I might pick up some reps.

I would love to have the authentic ones but I can't justify the cost.
