Default keep led ebay light or not? pics inside

so i wanted some 06-07 leds for my 04 ZR, but didnt want to shell out the 300+ for them so i ran into these on ebay for $150. i searched the forums for pics but there was only one pic available on a black Z, so i decided to just get them and see how they looked.

they fit great and i love the look of the leds, but im still drawn between them... should i keep them or not? i also got some 38% tint to lower the shine of the silver, but that shouldnt get here until later today/tomorrow. what do you think?

Dump it. In all honesty it looks really cheap. I dont think theres anything wrong with the OEM 06-08 taillights. But thats just my opinion. Good Luck!

Edit: But I understand about the $$$$ issue they are expensive.

Looks fine... at least it doesn't bubble out. Smoke them if you want to make it look a tad more subtle.

If YOU like them and see nothing wrong with them, keep em.
Why shell out more money for something other people might prefer for themselves? Its all on you

+1...great advice. however, i fyou have that nagging feeling in the back of your head...just search the marketplace....06+ tails pop up there once every blue moon for a good price...don't waste your money on new ones if you're "content" with the ones you have already though.
