Default R/C/R taillights on ebay.

I was thinking about buying some tonight, what do you guys think of the quality of them? They look very nice and for the price of $89 plus $30 shipping seems like a pretty good deal.

Also, my LS is that darker grayish-bluish exterior color. Would r/c/r's look good with that color?

Yes there are, however they are very,VERY hard to find. They are made by a small company in Japan. I was in the process fo trying to get them ordered and shipped in, however, my plans changed. I have only seen them once,, and if I remember correctly, they were somewhere around $400 for the set.

As for Ebay I bought the cheapies after my car got backed into in December. I saved big bucks going with the cheapies. The fitment is not as tight as the JDM's but they will do. The colors however match perfectly to the damaged JDM set I had. I don't mind the fitment since they were so much cheaper than the JDM's.

So you're telling me that the factory that makes them doesnt put any sort of seal between the housing and the actual lenses? What...

the cheap ones are put together EXTREMELY poorly and often are known to leak......
