A few quick pics of my new LED tails

Just got these in yesterday:



They're Depo LED tail lights... Here's a pic comparing them with the ones I already had on the car:



They're fairly bright, even with the smoked lenses (the picture really doesn't do it justice):



And a couple pics of the final result:





Overall I'm fairly pleased with how they look. They also came with smoked sidemarkers that can be seen in the last two pictures. All said and told it cost a whopping $270 or so.

The last set of Depo tail lights I bought (for my Ralliart) lasted me 5 years and still looked great when I traded it in, so I'm hoping to get similar results with these.

I know this look might not be for everyone, but I like it and it's something different we don't see on these cars very often. Let me know what you think!

They do not have red reflectors / illegal, unsafe.

I am currently in the process of making a set by hand.

They came with seperate reflectors that I mounted by the license plate, just didn't post a pic of it.

And as you can sort of tell by this dirty *** interior shot, I kinda HAVE to keep my car legal as it spends alot of time around cops. (But not for the wrong reasons, lol)

I'm guessing you're a cop of some sorts based on the lightbars?

I'm a Firefighter and EMT. In Indiana we're allowed to run blue lights/strobes and all that kit. It doesn't classify us as operating emergency vehicles when using these items, but it does help get some of the traffic out of the way while en route to a call.

I got them from Ebay. The seller name is neondials.

Here's a link to the ones they have that are similar to the JDM IX tails:

I gotta say, these look hideous (IMHO). They just don't fit the styling of the car at all. They remind me of those cheap LED tails you see all the ghetto riders putting on their Hondas and pickup trucks..
