Where did you hear this? They just came out with a new version, why discontinue so soon?

Um no sir They changed all the LED's to bigger brighter ones (like the OEM 350z's) and they physically look different (ugly IMO)

Here is what I found in the 2010/8/10 DEPO catalog.

Here are the links:
http://www.depoautolamp.com/depo_pro...nd=LX&make=G-S

http://www.depoautolamp.com/asp/pdf/...430_I-S300.pdf



Question is: where can we buy these and for how much?

I'm confused you just posted from a catalog you just found.... um, why cant you order from there?

and as what has been spoken of, they are always on back order and you need to pay for them and be put on a list for when they make their mass shipment. Taba sells them at JZS International

I've already written to them, it's just that I think they deal only with companies and not with individuals, but we'll what they're going to reply with.

(But should I expect to pay around 1500$ for these babies? - relating to JZS)

Oh those. If they're depo they should say depo on the lenses. Swtgs should chime in on this. Its not them to make a lamp and not put it on their catalog, unless it is designed by the vendor exclusively.

Things aren't that simple with depo. Just because they have a catalog doesn't mean they'll make it; it is up to the vendors that they deal with.

I'm pretty sure they are still in production. I bought my Insurance taillights this past March and the shop had to order them in for me. I got them about 2-3 weeks after I ordered it. So far no issues. But sometimes the light indicator comes one when I brake but very rarely. But aside from that no issues at all. I love 'em
