Black LED Tail Lights

Does anyone have these or have you seen them installed? Just wondering how they look.

I have this light but in red and another led tail light that looks more OEM, I prefer the other lights because they appear to be OEM. The OEM appearing lights are much brighter than these. But in contrast these are brighter than stock lights.

All of the LED lights the 3 in this style and the OEM look LED lights are all sold on ebay.

Feel free to ask questions and there are pictures of my lights on the links in my signatures.

To deamber or not to deamber, that is the question i have been struggling with.
So what are the best replacements? LED? All red? Are the smoked lights nice? For side lights, are there "clear" and "crystal" side lights or are they "crystal clear".

Those are the LEDs I have. I love them.
Very OEM look and they are very bright.
And easy to install.


I recommend these 100%

Has anyone got any Pics to post of the rear LED lights turned on and on the car? and at night (or is that just asking too much)?

I am undecided whether to upgrade my 986 Boxster's rear lights to LED Red/Clear or the standard Red/Clear ones.

Thanks

the oem marker lights are smoked. I suppose some of those on ebay are clear though.

before you buy a "smoked" taillight on eBay ask the seller if the lights are DOT approved. I bought a set and the seller "forgot" to disclose this little fact to me :troll:
