Depo TL-S conversion kit from eBay?

Has anyone used this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIP-USA-DEPO-04-08-ACURA-TL-TYPE-S-SMOKE-LED-SIDE-MARKER-TAIL-LIGHT-SET-/151494401425?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2345c51d91&vxp=mtr
??

I saw one review on Depo lights for EvoX and it said to silicone the seams to be sure theyre sealed. No big deal there, but any other issues with them? I have a black 08 TL base and would really like the smoke sidemarkers and TL-S tails.

Thanks.

You get what you pay for.

I'd stick to oem parts myself. Why would you want to buy a brand new product and start off by sealing them right off the bat. Tells you a little bit about what you're getting yourself into. Will it work? Probably. Would I do it? Only if it was oem.

I have the eagle version tail lights which are cheaper than Depo's and have the depo sidemarkers and they held up
fine carwash the car every 3days. I have them over a year now.

Its the highest quality after market, but it still doesn't compare to OEM, fitment wise and brightness of the bulb. The problem is that if they don't fit tight, they can fall out or be easily stolen.

i've seen reviews or customers force them in because of fitment issues and crack them.

Make sure you get all four because the rears won't match the front stock OEM's.
