Here's the reply I received from the manufacturer:

The circuit of the lights for USA is still developing. They finished the light for Japan first. Please wait for a while"


They will email me once it's ready, no ETA yet, sorry this has dragged on so long.........

For one you would probably pay more, as for not working I think it will create the "light out" on your display

I love how that clear LED tailight looks. Much Much better than the amber strip that runs across older models. Makes the car look brand new.

You know what guys, grab them off EBAY while you still can! I have a feeling they will start selling like hot cakes after I post these pics . I paid about 350 comes with everything needed to install and it doesn't even throw the taillight failure sensor! I think the craftsmenship is excellent and it fits like a charm. On top of that..they look a million times better than the factory ones.






I hope that helps a bunch guys!

acekogyo is the seller's name. I washed the car a couple of times just to see if the seal actually seals up well and there's no leak or anything at all. So far, I'm pretty DAMN happy with these taillights.

LSGarry, that light looks exactly the same as mine. It came with all the wires and "box" as posted in the pic. $289 plus shipping and tax (CA resident) comes out close to about $340 or so. Like I said, I think these might come around for this time only and may disappear forever like the clear halogen ones that used to be for sale on ebay.

Bippu, the taillights I ordered didn't throw the lamp failure code..which I was pretty surprised for something I didn't spend a fortune on.
