He's new, give him a break! I would not go with the JDM tails, but that's a personal preference. A lot people on here have them. I just think they look ugly. My favorite are the oem leds from Honda... the RS's. DEPO makes a replica of them.

I have smoked tails from DEPO. I bought them because I've heard only good things about them. The blinker went out on them the first day, lol but that was an easy fix and the seller is refunding me money for the cost of a new bulb. You can't beat $170 shipped for LED tails for the GE.

It's the company that makes aftermarket tail lights http://www.depoautolamp.com/

I think this is their website?

I too have the smoked ones that strmslvrfit posted above. Got them on eBay. They're one of the best exterior mods in my opinion. They are just lightly smokes, so not overbearingly dark like some other tails out there. Mine came with a non functioning blinker bulb. I just replaced it before I installed them.

The install is super easy. There's another thread if you search where I explained the process step by step. It only takes about 10-15 minutes max.

Yep, great price and install was a breeze. Pop off access panels inside the hatch, unscrew three 8mm (i think) nuts on each one, unplug the three hookups and then put back together with new assay. Took me 5 minutes on each side.
