If you look closely, the eBay tails are all LED in both the outer and inner tail lamps (4 pieces). The Sewell are the OEM IS F tails and aren't LED in the red/brake area. Some people like the OEM and I liked the LED look. It's a personal opinion. Both of these are eBay.

The IS-F tails are actually LED on the inner and outer as well. They are just larger LEDs. The turn signals and reverse lights are regular halogen bulbs though, which I believe is the same case with eBay tails.

I've had mine (from Ebay) for over a year with no problems...and a lot of compliments. Here's a complete list from lowest price:

The second one is not eBay.

Are the ebay led's replaceable when they burn out or is it sealed? If you choose to keep your car forever, maybe that might be something to consider (replacability).

How's the fit and finish on the eBay tails? Any gaps? Do they leak water? (or if anyone has a thread to refer me to get the answers that'd be appreciated, lol)

From personal experience I'm just wary of cheap electrical products on eBay.
