anyone know what the real difference might be between the kouki tails for sale at clearcorners...

http://www.clearcorners.com/pr...tail/

...and the ones for sale at a cheaper place like nismoparts.com:

http://www.nismoparts.com/catalog/?section=228

I would obviously like to buy the cheaper ones, but I'm not sure that they will be exactly the same. Clearcorners says the kit comes with the new trunk lock and keys to match, and it LOOKS like these parts are included in the nismoparts.com package as well, but I cant be sure.

I know the best route would probably be to just call or email, but its late at night and I want to know... haha anybody have any experience with either of these companies?

My understanding of the website is that that clear corners sells

Tail light conversionTail light conversion + Single LEDTail light conversion + Multi LED

As for it being any different everything (except the clear corners custom LEDS) is OEM nissan, So as long as you get all the parts, the quality should be the same.

Yeah Cyberkrieg is correct. Clear corners sells the stock OEM taillight kit for $600. The LED upgrade kits cost extra, ranging from $540-$1050. The kit on the NISMOPARTS site is the stock OEM kit. Usually cheaper kits dont include some parts, but the NISMOPARTS site does. Good luck on the buy.

I've noticed that with the actual Japanese sports cars like the MR2 the tail light upgrades are always unexplainably expensive.
