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

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.

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

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.
