Why not Umnitza? Mine have been trouble free and look great!

Only 260.00 at the moment, and they do go on sale periodically. There was a black friday sale where they were 50 off, so only 210!

I have not had any problems with leaks fitment at all. Only gripe is I occasionally get a brake light circuit failure message on my OBC, even though the tails are still working.

the whole point of LED tails, IMO, is to light up faster and brighter when applying the brakes, or using the turn signal, since those are the only 2 real crucial things people rely on the tail lights of someone in front of them for...

and NONE of the ebay LED tails do that, they use LEDs for the parking light part, but bulbs for the turn signal and brake light, which is pointless... the only REAL LED tails that are out so far are the ones from bavtoys, not to mention the best looking, so, all in all, i think you do get what you pay for, when you consider clear tails are about $120-$150shipped on here... 100 extra dollaz seems pretty fair to me..

My LED brake-lights come on noticeably faster than the third brake light(still a filament bulb).
