Got mine from ebay for $150 shipped. Here's a shot of mine from a while back. They're sooo worth it. Just make sure you look for the chrome coated turning signal bulbs (7440/7443) as well.

DEPO are a good brand of aftermarket parts so you dont have to worry about it. $150 is a good price for them.

You can get chrome bulbs on ebay too, much cheaper and they work fine.

i've been contemplating getting these, but the oem ones are hundreds of dollars for just one, and these are less than 200 for a pair??? kinda skeptical...do they have the same brilliance and quality look like the oem ones? or at least CLOSE?

I would say they are close. I don't think they give off the sparkle that the true OEM ones do, but that is just what I think from what I've seen. Maybe they do. But they are a good buy and decent quality.

the only difference i've seen is the shading of the red- i think they are slightly darker than oem.

I have DEPO taillights and when I parked near another 02-03 TL, I honestly could not tell a difference between the two. I didnt even notice that they were slightly darker, i'll take that into account next time I pull up near another TL. First thing I was worred about when I bought these is if they would leak, but after numerous rain storms and washing the car, they are sealed tight and perfect. For the price, they are worth it

I liked my DEPO tails on my 00TL better than the 02TL lights because the DEPO lights don't have the opaque filter thing in them to 'mask' the stock yellow bulb. That makes the DEPOs look 'clear' in the clear part whereas my genuine stock parts have a big ass chunk of opaque in them.
