Nooo I'm disappointed in the turn signal light strafing. I simply think it looks lazy and cheap.

THANK YOU. You are in the same position I was in. I have those smoked Valentis, but they never looked quite right on the car. Seeing the red Winjets on your car, I do like them but I wish they were a bit darker. Or perhaps had a black frame. I want something that sets them apart from the other red in the car. It does look good though!

I went back to stock from the Spyder/Sonar I got for $300 new. If I go for another aftermarket set I'll go black Tom's. Everything else just seems a little to ricey.

Get the Valentis and do the lower light at the same time. They look great! I wouldn't trade mine for anything else on the market!

I have the smoked valentis. Had a few problems with strings of lights burning out, but the new ones fixed that issue. Modbargains was AWESOME at taking care of me. But yeh, I definitely prefer them. The BuddyClub aventador knockoffs are hideous imho. Spyders light poorly, the only other ones I think look decent are Tom's, but they don't seem like much of an improvement in style over stock.

Hey Brandon can you take a close up shot of the inside of the tail light, I want to see the turn signal part and see how it is painted cause I really like the way yours look. Thanks.

Wanted new tails and looked at them all. Then went with DD's tails as turn freeing up the signal light to use as auxiliary reverse. The backup camera and four powerful led's means daylight in pitch black when reversing. For that reason alone I've decided to keep stock.

A lot of the other lights just look too 'contrived' - change for the sake of change and nothing else.

My car is black, and I was tempted by the Intecs, but they're a little too Ferrari-esque, and the last thing I am is a poseur, so, nope.

I think the stock tails just plain look great. And DD's tail as turns makes a huge difference re signal/brake message to following cars.
