LED tails recommendation
I'm in the market to upgrade my tail lights with some LEDs.I'm seeing a lot of spec-d & spider all over the internet for under $500 not sure the quality on these. I rather do it right the first time and spend a little more on a quality. Any help and recommendations would be greatly appreciated thanks.

BRAGA type-3 tails are a little more renown and are one of the best styles for our cars IMO. just recently acrylic tailights are getting more and more popular. those are more a custom job though. GL with the hunt!
also, Depo makes a 4 row style similar to Braga but not the same

unfortunately as these cars get older hits harder to find these items for sale with online stores ect. but you can find a few on ebay (of the braga) between $500-$800 new $250-$500 used on yahoo.
the LS600 style though are close to $1,000+
heres an ebay seller with an online store

Swapped all bulbs in my OEM 01 tails to red LED except the reverse. Redded out my tails then smoked them with medium tint...but I'll probably end up with Bragas, I like the snowflake version too especially since less people run that version.

What are the differences between the copycats?
e.g. Braga vs Depo?
I am thinking of compiling a thread with saved pics of all that is available. I am not used to this. Lol. I am coming from a 4.5th Camry where there is only 1 aftermarket headlight and one tail (which is REALLY REALLY bad)

And lights on. All bulbs are red LED except for reverse. Had to substitute a blue LED in that spot. Blue led through the red makes a purple reverse light that doesn't throw too much light but my license plate LED units light up the floor pretty bright lol, as do the red LEDs in the tails. The purple reverse bulbs just notify other drivers that it's in reverse. Red blinkers match the red arrows incorporated into the blue glass mirrors. Cant stand Amber.
