I am not one to usually care too much about ebay parts however I've always wanted to get some "full" led tail lights for our cars instead of just having the outer ones light up and having the dummy ones on the trunk.

Was browsing ebay at the office today and was surprised to find these:

https://www.ebay.com/p/Black-2011-20....c100005.m1851




Obviously they may need to be weathersealed properly and I am sure the quality isn't amazing, however the design to me doesn't look half bad in my opinion.

Your thoughts?

They look nice, are they UL listed/ DOT approved?

I have ebay (Spec-D) on my ISF and never had any issue with them, they appear to be a similar style/make. I've thought about these, but would prefer the 2018 OEMs.

I actually looked into these. I don't advise you to get these because of how weak the brake lights are. If you go on YouTube and look up "lexus ct200h taillights," the video of these lights should pop up.

I personally wouldn't feel safe with them on my car, but they do look nice. If the brake lights work for you, then I say do it.

I was thinking of just tinting my tail lights and upping the watts of my bulbs. I'm not too sure yet.

True the actual brake lights should have been made better. Only 2 small LED's per side just isn't sufficient. The brake and turn signal should have been flip flopped for sizes.

Maybe just upgrade the bulbs to make them brighter?

Isn't the nx the sane size for brake lights? Or is it 3 led

I prefer the black in the background myself

I think I may get the Black Smoked ones.

Too bad these are for only 11-14, I want to add red clear 3m film on these not the biggest fan of the clear look

But isn’t the 14 and 15 the same, I thought all the changes got done in 2014?

They're the same.

14 and up are the same

I agree with you. Typically, when the breaks are pressed and lights are off, the main light will light up and when the lights are on the main light will get brighter, these do neither. Even with the center break light, I wouldn't feel safe with only 4 LEDs (2 on each side) showing breaking. I've attached a picture of the lights w/ the breaks while light off and a video link showing the breaking while lights on (fast forward to 3:50).
