If the lights that redeyejedi installed are the same ones that ebay is selling?then it is not worth it because they are not that bright, the difference between the brake lights and the LED bars are not as intense as the OEMs. Actually the LED bars do not even light up uniformly, the LED bars are brighter on each end and dull in the middle.

Scroll down to my tails
Granted, you can get "more" of an LCI look with Bruce's cables for these lights (for an additional $250) and still be much cheaper than OEM LCI tails and cables. Me? I like the more unique look, I mod my car NOT to look stock so the LCI tails didn;t warrant the look or expense - just to look slightly newer stock?

Don't get me wrong Pjinca...it's not that the light looks bad...it seems like the ebay add has a picture of the OEM LCI taillight but they are selling a replica, which you agree that they are a bit different. If that is the look that you were trying to achieve then fine and at the same time you also saved some money, I have no problem with that!
