these are nice. I am really interested in the new 06+ OEM LED Taillights. Would anyone happen to know a good site with a reasonable price for them?

Also, for the clear OEM JDMs in the pictures, would that happen to be these?

Can you get them pre-filled with water? Or do you just wait until it rains a few times?

Hey guys, I am still debating on whether to get the 06+ OEM Tails or the OEM JDM ones. I know the main difference in look is that one of them is clear/white, but I am still going for a 'smoked out' grey/silver-black look. If I get one of these (which I need some suggestions) how would I go about making it look how I want it, Would it be best to tint/wrap over with vinyls?

Also, separate question, I am planning to tint my windows. Any suggestions on what is the best percentage of tint I should do in regards to my front/back and side windows?

Thanks guys.

Thread cleaned up and infractions handed out.

This was already a fail thread about ebay taillights, no reason to make it worse by flaming people who were actually helping

Tint the 06 USDM tails. Tint your windows as much as you can stand, knowing that it will affect your vision in lower light conditions. Also check your state's laws and regulations on tinting to make sure that you stay within the law. Don't want to get a ticket for something silly like tint.

if you ask me tinting lights is just as bad as bad as those stupid spaceship looking things. I like the oem led lights or anything led if you have the money. i actually have the 2nd style you posted i think, or similair at least....BUT all red, not that stupid clear nonsense. they are ok, i still feel gay having them but for the price its looks better than stock 03-05 lights. if you sell the stocks you can almost break even and its like 3/8's of a step up look wise.

OEM is infinitely better than either of those.....

Though if you HAD to choose between these two, second set looks better.
