My tailights cracked, buying these ebay tailights?
My tailights cracked on my gs300 and I was thinking about getting these tailights. Does anyone have any experience with them? Or real life pictures?

I bought a set like those, think it was a different vendor. I like the look and they work ok. They didn't come with any detailed instructions, and you have to swap some of your existing bulbs over for the turn signals and reverse lights, and my reverse bulbs didn't fit the sockets so had to go buy some, and also bought amber bulbs for turn signals as the orignal bulbs were clear.

I like the look of these, but have read horror stories of them leaking. I can't speak for the quality of these precise ones... but generally eBay + LED tails = burnt out in no time. I've seen a few sets for various cars where the odd led's burnout within weeks/months due to poor quality.
On the GS' i think the amber delete is the best upgrade [unless you have an 01+]

Do not waste your time and especially your money on any of these. As mentioned earlier, water leakage and bulbs prematurely blowing out are very common. I say check the classifieds on here for a good set of 01+ taillights or better quality led tails made by Sonar or Insurance.
