Depo LED tail lights for GD3?

Anyone have pictures/videos of what these look like lit up?

i'm thinking about getting a set, but don't want to if the LED's are dim or poor quality.

also looking for a DIY for installation if anyone knows of one, Only because I've heard that there is cutting involved to make them fit right, as well as needing to extend wires.

thanks in advance.

Light quality isn't that bad for a knock-off. Installation was ok, same as the original JDM ones (I think?). But with the wiring, it's either you'll pull the harness to reach the sockets or extend the wires like what I did. And yes, some of the light bulb sockets do need to be filed down to make the bulbs fit in.

I bought my set off a member here just because it was cheap, I'm switching to real JDM ones soon because I hate that pink hue on the reverse lens.

And also, do a search next time before creating a new post. Real JDM and Depo installs are almost the same.

^Maybe a bad set? I've had mine for more than a year and still no issues considering I bought them used. But everyday I still get annoyed by that pink hue on the reverse lens. Gonna get the red/clear tails in the summer time.

JDM Fit GD3 LED Tail Lights Kits Red Smoked Red Clear Full Smoked
The DEPO ones have the pink hue on the reverse lens, real JDM ones are smoked.

I had them on my GD3, trust me..the LED's look a bit unsymmetrical. And it is not as bright as OEM one..so i'd recommend the OEM one.
