LED tail lights

[JoshH]

I've been thinking about getting some for a while. I was looking at them on ebay last night, and found some that I liked pretty good. I went ahead and bought them an a third brake light that should match pretty well. Here's what I ended up with. What do you guys have and how well are they holding up?

those are sweet!!!! ive been wanting a set forever but i just dont have the coin how much did the whole set cost if you dont mind me asking?

 

[JoshH]

The tail lights were $137 and the third brake light was $55.

not as bad as i thought, maybe theyre not out of my price range after all Keep us posted on the longevity of the lights if you dont mind

Josh, I liked mine when they were in the daytime, but at night all 4 of those verticle LED rows were lit up, and I couldnt tell the difference when I was on the brakes and blinker was on, compared to just on the brakes, the LED's didnt dim as much as I had hoped. They were too bright for me at night.

ive got recon smoked 1s.had em for 2 years with no problems whatsoever other then a lil dust getting in around the reverse light. hardly noticeable tho. the recons run $300 for the tails and $120 for the 3rd:thumb:

Josh mine lasted a year, then one bulb burnt out so I took them out!! I'm with him, there isn't much of a difference at night, very hard to determine when your brakes are on!!!

I wish they made an OEM style LED taillight with amber turn signals...

Why do they all look like they belong on spaceships?

I hate amber turn signals on the tail lights.

I have LED bulbs in the stock housings and I like them alot. I just can't find any of the taillights that I like. Those are some of the better ones I've seen though Josh.

I have the ones that are clear really bright and you can definately tell when you hit your brakes (at least what my buddies behind me tell me all the time).

Those look good Josh. I have the smoked Recons, here's a few pics:

I like how the Ebay ones look but I don't like either how you can hardly see tell your breaking with the headlights on. Are the Recons better for that?

 

[coldLBZ]

I would say no. I have been "told" that my brake and signal lights are hard to see.

The ebay ones are rebadged Recons w/ a lesser warranty IIRC.
