You did do the right thing by searching you didn't do the right thing by giving the thumbs up for crappy tail lights.... there's a reason everyone flames on these. I've read numerous stories of condensation which leads to water getting exposed to the wires which can burn out which can cause to no brake light either leading to a ticket or in another universe a wreck which the other person can blame on having a faulty taillight which could have been an easy fix if it was either A) a true OEM/JDM guaranteed to work part or B) not changing the taillights to begin with.

Now the whole talking S*** thing comes with MY350. Just have to have tough skin and make sure you ask the right questions and say the right things. It does reflect poorly on our community though that people would buy a reasonably pricey sports car and add something so cheap to it. Not saying it looks cheap but it literally is MADE cheap. Good luck

I never gave a thumbs up. I'm just saying they dont look as bad as everyone is making it to be. And he is being flamed because of the look not the quality. If quality is the issue, everyone should say that they suck because they get water inside or they fog or whatever. Dont say they are ugly because they are low quality. That doesnt make sense. Something can still look good and be cheap, it just wont last long. I thought we were talking about strictly appearance here.

Prince rode a Hondamatic, and HE still got some nice looking tail. but, he rode a Hondamatic!
IMO, the alteeza lights look like coal miner helmets.
