Well, to me, I want to know that my taillights will always work, so nobody rear ends me when poor quality components or connections fail. But that's just me.

No offense, but thats just you (TODD), and your wallet talking. Your a business man, and discounting the quality of aftermarket, when people are looking for advice, is not cool. This is not your personal marketing tool.

Not necessarily true - my money is where my mouth is, as when I had my 986S, prior to EPIQ, I purchased the OEM taillights for the very same reason, rather than getting aftermarket versions. I think aftermarket obviously has a place or we wouldn't offer so much of it on our site, but on certain key components of the car I choose OEM, and taillights are one of them. I have an aftermarket seat, harnesses (not available OEM), and strut braces in my car, and OEM control arms, wheels, and side marker lights, which I would be fine with as aftermarket because I don't consider them that detrimental.
It's not a 'personal marketing tool', speedster. I might be a businessman, but when it comes to Boxsters, I was a driver/owner/enthusiast far longer, and still am.

So what is the difference than these Suncoast Porsche is elling for $165 for the set? I can in no way believe these are aftermarket from a dealer.

Ditto - Do not pay $329. You can get the real thing without the markup on a markup.

i still think that a chance that both of your tail lights will fail at the same time, at night, and a person will rear end you at the same time, is very small, slim to none in my opinion.
