Default 4 lights for price of 1 !!!

So i hit a deer and smashed the passanger side xenon light, cost alot to replace so thought of changing it up, i normally hate euro lights but found 2 things that caught my eye. Want to know if anyone has experiencewith any of these and what you think of them:

03-05 LED SPECIAL EDITION BLACK TAILLIGHTS
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=190346754729

HI+LO HID 03-06 NISSAN 350Z BLACK PROJECTOR HEAD LIGHTS
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=160372498427

Mainly looking to see if anyone ever had the cruise and accel problem on a 03 z with these taillights.

I'd say find some used head/tail lights if money is an issue. Those ebay ones look like crap

Witll they change right out no plug modification?

I also want darker front and rear light without tinting, being that tinting/covers are illegal at night and they dont make snap on covers.

your better off getting a used set and opening them up and doing the coloring mod DO NOT do the tint i made that mistake on my previous Z youll get stress cracks it looks nasty but there is alot of DIY guides here on how to open them up n color them the rears u can use overlays it wont stress crack em..as for plug mods usually u have to do it with those ebay lights but these say no mods necessary which i dont know but usually ebay lights have some kind of 6 pin and the stocks have an 8

i like some of the aftermarket taillights, i just bought these for my 03
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT
there not too different from the 06, just has black and red instead of all red.. but as far as the headlights go, i wouldn't go aftermarket.. i did with my 00 maxima but this is a Z were talking about, you don't wanna make the car look cheaper

And you think the lights you bought don't make your Z look cheaper?

the only time you have short problems with the taillights is if you dont install them right, ive noticed people dont know how to plug in the LED plug into the plug where a blub would go on the 03 taillights and like morons splice the wires, they dont look bad heres mine..

I talked to the seller of the taillights, he says he has sold hundreds of sets and never has ever had a reported problem and would give me a refund if i had a problem. Sounds like he is trying to be legit and havent read any feedback saying anyone has ever had a problem. But i also dont want to have to waste my time niether.

It did not work with the VDC on my 03 track. OEM leds are working fine.
I had to get my cc card company to reverse the charges.
I may have had a bad set..
My $0.02 the oem looks much better..
