Default Crystal eye v2 tail lights

Crystal eye came out with a new updated tail light with the styling of a 4th gen rx. This looks great with the 2013+ front ends, might get a set of these instead of the ls style tail lights once i do the 2013+ conversion.

They look nice. I can't find any cost information on them, though.

That will definitely compliment your f sport conversion, I plan to do the same eventually.

if you guys plan to install Crystal-Eye-V2 let me know as far as quality, hopefully it does come with seal gaskets for moisture and dust. thanks, I've played with photoshop (not an expert) to see how it looks with my 2010 model, damn it looks good.

I'm very interested in how the order and install process on these goes for someone. So, if you're brave enough to be the first, let us know how it turns out! I want!

Got it today, unfortunately both outer lens requires tapping the spoiler brake light connection and there's not enough wire lenght supplied with it, I'm returning this, very disappointed, sequential signal turn looks awesome though.

Couldn't you just get wires and extend it? Seems like an easy fix.

They look really nice though!

using t-tap should work but overall build quality was my main reason for returning it, keeping 2013 tail lights for now.

I got these yesterday also, but no instructions were available with mine. How could you tell wires needed to be tapped?

It also included a long cable to connect the inner and outer tail lights, probably for the sequential turn signal, but not clear how to route this cable into the lift gate.
