They're most likely your typical chrome addition for a car, plastic with a chrome colored coating. Installed with pre-applied 3m tape. Fit may not be 100% perfect.

IMO, they're tacky on these cars considering the lack of chrome we have (or I should say they're tacky regardless), but again, that's IMO.

Guys, to each his own. Do I like 'em - No! But, if the OP does, his choice! He wasn't asking esthetic opinions, he was asking durability and fitment.

Your probably have better luck with after market tail lamps. Vland, or Spec D they update the age of the car quite well.

Damn it, they stole my idea :P i was thinking of doing the triple led retrofit just like the above. Would be great if someone pulled the trigger on these and report the findings. They look great IMO however, my guess is the light output, as it is with every aftermarket headlights, isn't great. Link to these: https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...256430d59KVk1T

Contacted the seller and said they are still working on them. They should be ready in 1 month.
