Default 2nd Gen LED Taillight Conversion

So, been looking around for the LED taillight conversions. There's a groupbuy on them from Carson Lexus I think. Now, my question is if there are different manufactures for these conversions? Anyone have experience with the eBay ones? Are they the same product or cheap copies?

You can't go wrong with Carson....the group buy or it's really a poll are for the inner tails. The LED rears were a couple of months ago, but I believe with the high demand I'm sure Steve and the gang will be coming out with another GB. Don't mess with the ones on Ebay too many copies and cheap at that.

Honestly, they are not that much cheaper then what Carson sells them for. Depending on the vendor, the price only varies about $80~$100.

Here are some links.

If I hadn't bought my JP tails for so much$$$$ I would buy the second set that you have linked. (or at least ordered them so I could see it in person how they looked) .
