They aren't "JDM" tail lights.

Just an aftermarket clear center tail light. Maybe they come from Japan, but they were never stock on any LS. Where do you define "JDM"?

Your cell phone is probably made in Japan, does that make it JDM? Probably not, the same phone isn't sold over there.

FWIW I got the bumper clears from them off eBay and I have no complaints--they were a perfect fit. In fact, I compared them to the stock units and it looks like they were cast from the same mold, because they were 'high' and 'low' in all the same places (and I did have OE stock units).

If you asked the members who bought their tailights from procarparts.com, they will tell you their experience. Im sure the clear corners would be ok because its a small piece, but the tailights they sold were just crap.

HEY GUY'S I did not post this to start a War ..............Just Look before you buy..............I bought my front clear from this company years ago and they have held up great so I got my tails there too..............Another thing when buying things almost every company will meet or beat the other guys prices so don't be afraid to tell them that you saw it for less somewhere for less. It Works Every Time For Me!

Ha, I have had the center cleared and the reds smoked. You'll love your's smoked, it looks like it came off an Admiration kit or something.
