I like the factory LED's but came across this set on ebay for $176.94 shipped for my 03 Black Z. Thoughts?

I prefer the OEM 06+ tail lights but I admit this is a cheaper alternative. I can't judge the quality but I am sure like most will say quality isn't up there. You can try and see how it is. Myself, I like my OEM 06+ lights

if you can't afford more, these are just fine. the avg. person won't even be able to tell the difference. (however 06 OEM are brighter/better quality).

These look interesting; I would like to see how well they hold up over time (I have heard about aftermarket tails fogging up, etc).

believe it or not they are actually excellent quality. I bought a set from procar parts off ebay and they fit like stock. retain all stock plugs, etc. No leaks and look amazing. I went with the smoked Led ones though.

If you search for posts by the OP, he had some major electrical issues with them, have you had any issues?
