Default Upgrading to LED taillights

After seeing all the 06 Zs at the Skyline cruise I decided to drop 400 bones (includes shipping) for the LEDs.

IMO it's the only thing that doesn't look right on 03-05 Zs. If nissan was going to use bulbs they should have atleast put two on each side. One just doesn't cut it. **** even my other Z (escort ZX2) has two bulbs on each brake light.

My question is: Has anyone tried selling their old taillights after the swap? (I know there's plenty of fender benders out there and taillights are usually the first things to get banged up)

pic attached look at the difference between bulb and LED (mines the DB roadster and his is the '06 PPW)

I upgraded to 06 led taillights. I like the look better. I sold my old ones on ebay for $30 bucks. Yeah not much for them but beat sitting around collecting dust.

I kept my old ones, but one is cracked anyway. However it was just easy to box them up and throw them in storage.
