Sonar or Spyder Tail Lights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between the Sonar tail lights and the Spyder tail lights? The difference in price is about $80 - $100USD. Has anybody ever installed a Sonar product. I am always looking for the best deal, but I would rather pay more for a quality product.

Nothing. Sonar makes them. The others rebrand them, at least from what I have read.

I literally just bought the Sonar yesterday.
Its about a $116 difference. Sonar only has the clear but the price difference is paying for custom paint on mine. I wanted the black instead of having chrome under a smoke.

Thanks and sorry, I should have used the search button. Once I looked a little harder I saw another thread that confirmed there are about 5 different companies all using the same product and just renaming.

Now I just have to find the company that wants to sell it to me the cheapest...

I purchased mine for $299 from that first link you posted

Let me know how they fit once you get them...with pics. That is the cheapest site I have found by far.

I think $300 is the bottom line...can't beat that price.

So tails were supposed to ship the other day. First they said the container got delayed because of bad weather now the container got held for xrays longer than expected. They said they will try to ship today....

I'm interested in these, decent price. I'll wait to see them on your car

Yruyur · 06-14-2013, 04:33 PM

I think they would look better on a whiteout since they have the white lightbar in them. I plan on redding them out with a tint so you can still see the light bar but it would look more red.
