OEM LED's or JDM LED's are the only lights one should ever buy

Great for the 350z electronics, especially when they're power loss issues.

If you could go ahead and re-gift those to the neighborhood ricer that would be great...

Can we abandon the use of 'ricer'... ?

I get it... Cheap parts look terrible. Calling an import car a derogatory term for an import car (from Japan no less) just makes you sound like a fool.


Still... Those tails look awful.

I find it funny when people call things such as this - "rice"

You can call me a ricer, they run me $50, and I just sold them for a nice profit.
Rice would be chrome, sunk wheels, cut springs, a hood scoop, massive wing etc.

Please start to rethink your idea of Rice.

Back in the early 00, after FF1, every ricer was rocking "Altezza" tail lights coming in from China. Those were the definition of rice being cheaply made and poorly designed. These led tails are just the new generation, probably made in the same factories. They are poorly engineered, cheap ecu glitching lights. Rice? Maybe.

I mean the factory ones, depo doesn't make a factory style apparently.
My idea is to replace factory led tails with a clear lense off some cheapos.

Would look kind of like this member's z, minus the ghetto lens swapping part.

No excuse not to run the legit LED's considering how cheap they are now

When I bought mine in 2007 I paid $700, near new sets are now $200
