Did you see any rainy days yet? or have you done any leaking test on them?

Dang those are bright! I considered getting a pair for our new evo project but stuck with Evo 9 tails since I didn't know how the LED's would look at night but they actually look great!

No rainy days yet, however I have washed the car and no fogging occurred. As well as the change from my cold garage to leaving in the mornings when it's warm out.

I like them and am glad I purchased them, I like the unique look and the lighting effect they have. My buddy was driving behind me and told me there was a notable difference in the clarity and brightness of the LED's compared to stock.

Im curious how well these are going to hold up over time. Make sure to keep us updated. In my experience, the cheap aftermarket lights look great at first but go downhill quickly.

nice I was lookin at these before, but didnt feel like spending 250 for looks and no performance. Im gonna just do the other way and open them and paint and replace the led bulbs as they go out. my brake bulbs just went out actually got new leds. but yea 60 bucks or so compared to 250 for almost the same thing.

Ive had these for easily a year now, i pretty much agree with the entire write up. The seams LOOK sub-par but thats the only flaw in the entire piece. Ive been through rain, humidity, snow, fog, car washes and high pressure drive through washes with not even the smallest ammount of humidity. I however went for the gloss evo 9 jdm style which is the same quality.

I like the idea and considering them, but I just dont like how the actual brake LEDs are clear and you can see them during the daylight. But overall I like them.

I gave some of these Depot Tails a test shot (Not the LED version, the IX version) and I love the way they look. Just make sure you take a few minutes and put a good sealant around the edges and you'll be good to go.
