^those are the thick ones. Personally not my flavor, but coo none the less. These are the ones that look the best imo. I believe these are the infamous insurance lights. http://www.eliteautostyle.com/products/lighting.htm

You say you don't want cheap eBay lights, yet you find another website selling the exact same ones LOL. Those ones from K2 I would say don't expect much from them. It bottles down to you get what you pay for. The cheaper taillights get condensation inside easily and burn out all the time. I've been running my Insurance lights for over a year now with no issues. I might upgrade to the new Braga style ones as I like the larger LED's
