Im looking into swapping out my tail lights in my 08 TL (base) and I been hearing that DEPO tail lights are cheaper looking and dont fit but I also hear that its only the case with the Black/Red ones

That's the site I been looking at and they claim to match the OEM quality. Is this a legit site or does anybody have a better reccomendation?

 

That site is legitimate. Those tail lights should fit, however fitment may not be as good as the OEM's.

 

My blacked out tails fit just fine.

Eagle lights are what you need to stay away from.

USR (Unique Style Racing) is legit, many members order from him. He is also "fishcake123" on eBay.

Or maybe it's "fishcake321" I can't remember...

 

^ I thought neonal or something like that was the USR guy on ebay??

@ alex thats not true. I have the depo ghost lights and I have no issue whatsoever.

 

Theres a guy here on AZ called SharksBreath that does some custom work to the factory covers. His work is really good so Im going to check him out some more but Ill keep this site in mind also. Gonna be swapping all the lights out (brake, parking, side markers, trunk) for LED's eventually might as well look into doing that also

 

PM AckTL05 or JnC

 

I'm not sure about "neondials", Evil, but I know "fishcake" is Simon @ USR.

 

Sharksbreath has done some work for me and he definitely does good work. i would hit him up!

 

Just don't let ^ that guy do work for you

 

mine come in today.. will report as soon as I get them on

 

op just so youre aware... red text means hes being sarcastic lol

 

Lol gotcha. Ill put pics up of the ride once I get home from work. Yeah Joker hit me up when you get them on I want to see.

 

Installed a set of Depo's a couple weeks ago and fitment is fine. It's a bit off but will only be noticeable to you. And I grabbed mine off fishcake321 on ebay, which is USR.

 

Here's the smoked tails...

Lit up:



Off:



And if you want a close-up...fitment looks good to me.

 

^ damn those pics are high quality! Love your car man. Im starting to like these black tails smoked like you have, just dont know how they would turn out on my AM TL.

 

Those are siiick undying! You put them on yourself? I want a black/clear look, I feel they will look best with the polished grey color along with blacked out side markers
Hey es0 how long have you had them? Would the little "offness" allow any moisture to accumulate inside?

 

Mhm, my brother helped but it's fairly easy.

Either remove the entire bumper or pull down one side at a time. There are the bolts on the inside of the trunk and 2 below the tail light on the outside. Just pull out your LED board and place it in the new tail light, attach connectors and put everything back together.

I'm actually going to be changing tails...not digging these anymore.

 

He has rockstar install them for him

 

Not those

 

Who would have thought Austin would be the one GIVING information on installs

 

 

Because I did that install...hurr durr.

 

Check out TLdude progressive thread

 

Ya I've seen his and I like it!

 

PM me when you're ready to sell the lights. I'm tossing around the idea of those or OEM Type S. I'd feel better about buying Depo's from someone I know and has no fitment issues.

 

I've had mine for almost 3 weeks now. When I washed my car a couple days after I installed them there was a bit of moisture that stayed inbetween the bumper and the tail light housing, but it completely dried up after about 30 mins so it wasn't a problem. Blacked out would definitely look sick on your car, I say go for it

 

Yeah I think I'm going to black out the tails and sides. Haven't decided if ill tint the headlights or fogs...ill get on that in like a month but ill keep you posted
