I bought mine from matrix racing and they are awsome. They are a very reputible company. I bought mine for $165 2 months ago.

There's a few out there on ebay I'd watch out for.... I bought mine from this guy and he sent me mismatched color taillights. Check the photo gallery and see it for yourself.

Was your seller IVM1?? I bought a set from him but he's delayed shipping because he said something about the tails being mismatched.

BTW, I just bought a set off this guy a couple weeks ago for $155 + shipping

so then, is 180 shipped, from original link a good deal? seems to be the best i can find....seems like the days of 150 shipped are over....I guess if I dont find a better price, ill go with this guy.

Also, more importantly, this guy claims "Quality with SAE/DOT APPROVED."
i thought that wasn't possible unless I change the bulb? I emailed him and he said it wont cause any violations .... any ideas on this?
thanks

here is the link for the matrix racing tails. They say they are $236 but when you call them tell them you saw them on ebay and they willgive you the ebay price. I believe it was like $180 shipped. http://www.matrixracing.com/BI1055Details.htm

They are talking about the actuall tails themselves. For lights to be legal for road use, it usually has "DOT Approved" on the housings.

so if i purchase these tails, what lights would i need to buy?
I have a 2001 tl. I would like them to look clear, not amber, when off.

am i right in assuming that stock lights, with these tails, would put me in violation?

You need to purchase some Chrome amber 7440 bulbs. YOu can get them on ebay for a few bucks each.
