After getting them all polished and waxed up I installed used smoked OEM (2003 version) tails. These replaced clear DEPOs that I think were just a little too modern and bling for my taste. Some may think me nuts to go back to old school, and get rid of DEPOs, but with my color and this model year car I think I have finally achieved the best look goin (in my opinion anyway). In the last year Ive purchased smoked OEM side markers, smoked/clear OEM headlights and finally smoked OEM tails. I might do something different with the 3rd tail but so far still pondering what to do with that. DEPO pic included for comparisons.

I don't think you are nuts at all! I have thought of doing the same. The fact that I can not get both of the two red lights(for brakes) on the DEPO's to light at the same time bothers me. I may do the same and find a nice set of the non amber OEM tail lights. The change looks great!
