Default DEPO LED Tail Lights
Anyone have any experience with DEPO LED tail lights?

Some questions I have on the quality:

Do any LEDs go out?
Are they bright?
Do they come with the resistors?
Do they seal properly, or does it allow moisture in?
How's the fitment?
Good plastic or cheap?

ETC...

As all lights, they will go out but they usually last longer that regular bulbs. Put it this way, the more led's you have the brighter the light output. So if you have 1 led on a led bulb the output would be vastly less than if you had 10 or even 20 on the bulb. Hope that makes sense (by bulb I mean the entire fixture). Most of them seal properly (depending on how much you paid for them too ) and they must have resistors built in to limit the amount of voltage not to pop the led...

I think he is looking for reviews about the company and their product and not LEDs and/or tails in general...
