Default 2001+ Tail lights vs. LED Tail lights??

I'm looking to upgrade to my '98 tails, and i'm not sure with one I should go with. Do the 2001+ tail lights have LED'S? Or is that only available on the LED aftermarket one's?

Which one would you get??

It seems like the 2001+ OEM tail lights look classier, as opposed to the LED after market one's that look some what chessy. Correct me if i'm wrong.

You are correct. Thats why you pony up for some real LED's and not the ghey *** ones that are around.

Almost impossible to find. ALWAYS on back order :/ Do a search with keyword "Insurance Tails" You'll find a lot of threads in regards to them. Again, very hard to get a hold of.

I think you're mixing up some information

JP sells two different tails

1. OEM housed with the amber cleared out. NON-LED

2. LED with non-OEM housing. Basically Sonars.
