Default Pre-LCI Tail Lights

Sooooo, I'm not a big fan of the pre-lci tail lights on my car and I ordered a set of Spyder Auto Tail Lights from CarID. I have some Spyder lights from them for my Benz C300 a few years back and they look fantastic, so I thought I would have similar results....not so...

The quality is pretty bad, connectors not fitting properly, optic light bars not consistent, one led from the turn signals is off-center, etc. Long story short, they're going back.

Any good ideas on what route to try next? Pics/links of a setup you like are appreciated as well.

- Tinting the OEM ones and putting LED bulbs
- Spec-D Tail Lights in Glossy Black (pic below)
- OEM LCI Tail Lights (where to get for a good price? Do I need a special cable?)
- Just suck it up that I have the older style tail lights

Thanks in advance!

I got my off Fleebay for £100 for the pair 2nd hand, then spent £50 on the wiring conversion kit.
Its got work out cheaper than buying new aftermarket

I bought a pair of the OEM LCI tail lights, definitely a beauty compared to the pre LCI.
I bought a cable as they aren’t plug and play due to different wirings. I think it was called Bruce cables or something, look it up.

Bought my LCI lights off Craigslist from a part out but you can get them from a bunch of different places.
