I ordered the Option Racing Tails (SONAR) and installed them. Washed my car with a light spray, the passenger tail got so much water inside it, the clear chrome went to a dark chrome grey. It was horrible. Called them, emailed pics, they would send out another set (but informed me I should seal them with clear silicone) or I could get a refund. I opted for the refund.
I have been eying the DEPO tails but have heard from MANY people on how hot the resistors get and don't want to deal with that. I am rocking OEM 01+ tails and sometimes OEM is just so much less headache lol.

I like those a bit more visually then my DEPO tails, but I have had the DEPO's on for like 2+ months now and gone through a few florida rain showers and washed the car plenty of times since and no condensation yet.
That sucks about yours leaking though, Like I said I kind of like the outter style more then the DEPO because it more closely resembles an OEM 01+

I always wanted to get the red LED tails for my IS300 but always worried about quality too.
thanks for the writeup, confirmed what I'd have expected.
also I like to run regular bulbs in the winter. it keeps the lights warm and the snow doesn't build up on them on the highway.
