Simple explanation...they aren't the same lights. Personally, I'd never order something like that on Ebay...wait for it to become available from a reputable source...some place with a return policy.

Also it's two different vendors.

They look like the spider lights that have been out for a few months now. The neon looking bar is to light and almost pink in the day time it has stopped a lot of people from getting them. I don't know if they fixed that problem but they came on the market right after sema

Those are the spider lights the ones in this tread are a little different but probably made by the same company they really have a strong hold on the market I just installed a set of their lights on a truck. I would wait till they have some reviews out personally just encase.

Edit: the neon looking bar only has a light on each end so they get lighter in color towards the middle (pink). I would also not plan on just plugging them in. Normally there is some wiring involved.

I have heard of those and I really like them with the red tint. I didn't know they got released the last I heard they were still in development. As much as I like spider I think the bullet proof would be the better bet but again I would anticipate a little wiring nothing major. I only wish they still had a full circle of lights in the middle instead of the one missing on top.

These pics are indoors so just florescent light nothing bright like the sun the first pics I saw was it outside as they were unloading it and they looked pink. When asked about why everyone was doing that neon style light and what they were going to do to fix the pink they just replied they are working on it. I am hoping for a nice led light without that bar in it and a shaded tint on it. Sypder replied to an email I sent and they said they are working on that as well. I'm just not a fan of it unless they could make it brighter during the day. I'll try to find the pics if them outside but they took them off the website so I'll have to do some digging.

Oh I see what you mean now :/ I think the tube needs to brighten up too... But on some pictures they seem fine :/ I do agree with what the people say tho they should make them clear/ flat or something might have helped the lighting... I was thinking of tinting them but that might make the light even harder to see.. So that's not possible :/ sigh and that price is crazy!!

JDM_GT86 02-05-2013 03:25 PM

if your gonna buy aftermarket tail lights I wouldn't buy cheapos, they go yellow and look ricer. I would say go with the TYC tail lights, I put TYC tail lights on my 2006 Scion TC since new and they still look new. I know a few people thats had cheapo lights less time then me and they are already yellow and dull.

My advice (take it for what it's worth) is that you will not be happy with anything that comes from an EBay vendor. The quality, fit, and finish will most likely be very disappointing

Jared0934 02-05-2013 08:44 PM

Yeah you run the risk when purchases these off branded companies most likely using cheap parts meaning the diodes will burn on you within a few months of use.. Not saying for sure, just saying cheap LED technology is absolutely the worst... I'd just wait for Bulletproof to get the hook ups on japans aftermarket lights.

What if they are from Zeta performance you guys herd of them? Im getting tail lights like the one i posted and i was quoted around like 400-500~ have you guys herd of them or know if they have good products being sold?

Jared0934 02-05-2013 08:54 PM

I didn't know they sold tail lights.. I'm willing to bet they just re-sell the ebays... I don't know though...

Well it's not by them they are getting some tail from other places and selling them i think? Maybe i'll just purchase the nameless exhaust and just wait for bulletproof to get more tail lights instock

THis is the original i think from japan but 980$ for those is just way too much!!!

Jared0934 02-06-2013 12:12 AM

You should contact BP and let them know you're interested and possibly ready to purchase. I'm sure they will at the very least give you a list of options currently available and soon to be available. If you're willing to pay upwards of $900 dollars for tail lights though I would seriously advise to either give it a few months and see what releases (guaranteed the day BP knows they can mass order these suckers they will start a group buy) or purchase the ones you absolutely 100% are in love with if they are currently being sold.

I mean if price is no option I can get you any part you want direct from Japan I have military buds still there but you're talking hefty shipping prices plus conversion rates which Obama aint doing much to fix :-P

haha damn i dont know about those rates cause i live in canada ;( but no im not willing to spend 900$ on tails sigh... that would be way too costy!! i guess i grab my exhaust for now!~~haha and keep my stock tails since they are okay... man i really liked those lights :mad0259: but didnt know that they would go bad so fast >: i thought people have been buying from TYC for a while or something~~ anyways planning to get the Lipspoiler from Zeta Performances and exhaust from Nameless~~ do you think Zeta's lip spoiler is good quality? Man i have lots to learn when it comes to cars since this is my first one haha AND THANKS SO MUCH!!! for all the tips!!! :happy0180:

If they do burn tho would i be able to just switch out the bulbs?

CaptainSlow 02-06-2013 07:21 AM

Yeah, with a soldering iron. Look, I'm telling you straight up if you want something that is going to last and not give you issues with fit or function without spending a ridiculous amount of money your best bet is to just do something with the stock taillights. If you want to risk it, go ahead with some of these other cheaper options, but I'm telling you I wouldn't (personally)...too many bad experiences in the past with cheap parts.

white_knight 02-06-2013 07:27 AM

They look awful.

Stick to the stock lights.

Sorry if you weren't asking for an opinion :P
