Waste of money and they will burnout after a few months.

If you want something different, pickup a let of OEM LED JDM clear tail lights.

And let me know when you want to sell your 06s

BTW..I have those LEDS (full red) and people are right, stick with what you have or get the JDM ones....stock 06s are better than ANY ebay crap.

Man..this is what my first thread was about...the same tail lights...I got FLAMED though lol..As good as they look on the website, stock tails will always look better, they'll grow on you, then you won't be able to imagine anything else different than stock looking as good as it does now.

I've seen a used set go as low as $275.

Save up for it, otherwise you will end up paying for multiple sets of these terrible quality lights as replacements.
