Yeah, not a fan of the smoke tail lights but to each their own. But the RED one is stunning. I contacted AVEST and they are selling it for $600.

Can't wait to see these... curious as to how the turn signals look and brightness, and also how bright the reverse led's are

AVEST is a JDM manufacturer, wholesaler that has been around a long time. Located in Shizuoka, Japan. They make a lot of these type of exterior parts for JDM cars. I would imagine the quality to be there

Received the tail lights yesterday. Looks awesome, much better in person. These are the same set from SEMA so there are a few small scratches on the back. Pic looks crappy from my iPhone with the reflection and glare. I will get it installed this weekend.

Outer light:



Inner lights:

Only had time to test the inner tail light last night. Did you all know that our light are not RED...it's kinda amber orange red. The LED are true RED.. You can see the difference in the picture below. Outer light are OEM and inner are LED. This is with the night light own and the acrylic showing. This is with the brake light NOT activated. I'll finish the installation sometime this weekend and post more pictures. They look awesome in person.

The installation was simple. Accessing our tail light is not challenging compared to my old GS. Lights came out awesome. The LED makes it stand out more.

The left side is LED and the right is OEM. Big difference in appearance. This is with the headlight "On". Brakes not activated.


Close up of the acrylic. Photo was taken during the daytime with iPhone.


Close up of LED during the daytime. Much brighter at night.


Night time photos...much brighter.


This is the OEM harness on our tail light. Simply take it out and plug into the LED tail light and it's good to go.
