Heres the ebay immation ones, they are alot cheaper but also alot smaller. My interior lights are all red VLED's and I love their quality. They are the brightest led's I have found so far.

I am leaning toward the VLED ones. Just need to see if there is enough clearance inside the housing. Anyone know? I like these because they are bigger. They have gotten good reviews on other forums for mazda 8 and truck forums. here are the pics. price is $70 which is insane

THE ONE ARM LOOKS OFF BECAUSE THE BULB DIDN'T FIT IN HIS HOUSING BUT IT WAS BEST PIC I COULD FIND.

hmmm they might blend in with the red tails you got... unless you layer/double layer your tail lights. after that they might look dope! :bigthumb:

I have that on my white AC.. I'll post pics.. I suggest getting the real LED whole tail light assembly. If you ask why, its because those spider LED wont show in your tail light, it will only show the tips of the LED due to the center plastic in the tail light that blocks it off.. When i get a chance i'll show you my tail light pic with that spider LED..

I have the whole led tail-light assembly, and I love them. However they aren't as cheap as just replacement bulbs but they show up well.

Here's some pictures.

With the lights that boystar22 has(I have them as well), it is just the tail/brake light that is replaced with LEDs. The turn signal and reverse lights still use the OEM bulbs. I will say that I do love them though. I have had them since they came out, and have never had a problem.

here is a wider angle shot of them

I feel like we are getting shafted on aftermarket parts. Those tail lights are nice but I just can't justify spending over $200 just to have LED brake lights. The maxima has sick tail light mods. I don't like the LED pattern on those. We have like no aftermarket stuff for the coupe. No headlight mods, barely any tail light mods, body kits that all have problems with them (stillen sag, ed fiberglass breaking etc) I look at other cars out there and see endless amounts of mods available. This is a major reason I want to get a new car. Maybe its just me or im in a bad mood lol. I don't know about you guys but I see major market for aftermarket parts for the altima coupe. :confused:


Good point about the reflector housing on the tail light, I noticed it after you mentioned it and you right it kills the output for these ledz. So im back to doing nothing lol.

After seeing the picture, the LED tailights do not justify their price.

Oh, I agree 100%. I bought them when I had tons of extra income. Given the choice now, I wouldn't have bought them. But I will say that they are quality.

ive had these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/08-10-NI ... ccessories

for a while now, and they're dope, i bought them a couple of weeks after i bought my A/C. you are better off buying this set, since its is a whole different housing.
these tail lights have white turn signals, LED brake and reverse lights, along with the turn signals. but if it doesnt match your car color scheme then nvm :bigthumb:

They look exactly the same as mine, only without the red lens. They're made by the same company too. Mine only have LED parking/brake lights so...
