When my car was hit, insurance would only pay for a Depo replacement taillight. The first one the shop installed started to leak within the first year. It has been a few months since I had them replace it under warranty and so far so good. The fit and appearance are excellent.

This is the 2nd gen GS forum. If your headlights are oxidized you should just wet sand and clear coat them instead of spending dough on new headlights

So far, with me, all the aftermarket tails I have bough have laughable light output, especially for LED.

I have OEM 01-05, Sonars and Depo's Braga style. The only other I would try are the Braga style Eagle Eyes.

i had the sonar ones installed for 4-5 years without resistors, dailied them in winter, a million car washes. Recently an outer one finally began shorting out. None of the individual LEDs failed and they still light up like new, but blow fuses in the parking light setting. I would recommend them considering how long it took to fail and how cheap they are.

As with ALL headlights, be sure to keep them waxed.

I got yellow tint for the drl already. Debating is it should do the headlights also. Most likely just going to get clear or camelion tint
