Default Tail Light Questions

I currently have OEM (bulb) tail lights on my '00 GS3 but im in the market for LED tails. My question is, is there some sort of converter I need to buy in order to make the LED tails plug into the OEM plugs or does it come plug and play?

These are the tails im looking at getting.

Couldn't check the pictures on my blackberry. But in most cases, aftermarket LED taillights are plug and play. Some come with resistors to fool the "bulb out" warning but that's pretty much it.

I would personally check to make sure that's a whole set before purchasing.

I am going with these Depo lights for $240 shipped. And it is for all four pieces. They have more LED's so they have a cleaner look IMO than the ones OP posted.

I had ordered these for mine before my car got totaled.. they would have looked nice though They were nice enough to give me a full refund on it (less shipping.) The company is actually AJ Motorsport out of El Monte, CA.

Oh, to answer your question, yes, these would have been plug and play with the resistor to get rid of the dash warning light.
