So I am assuming what you are all saying is that when you buy the type-s tails, it's just the housing. You need to swap your current internal light components to the new light housing...

the tails work. might as well change the rear side markers as well. they are easier to replace.. just need a little modification to the wire connector

^ Regulars are red, Type-S are gray. I think that's the only difference...

I could be wrong though...

Maybe it is year specific.. i wonder who else didn't need to modify their lights. i actually had to dremel a small tab in order to get the wiring harness to fit. it wasn't a big deal, very easy to fix. it looks 100x better than the ugly amber blinker. it now matches the front blinker.

yeah.. since that picture was taken I have been able to minimize it down to barely noticeable.. my 4 year old daughter did that for me when I had the bumper off in the dining room with her tricycle. my fault for having it in there.

OK, I have been using the search for close to an hour but can't find a thread that answers the following question clearly:

Do the aftermarket Type-S tailights on eBay look like and fit like the OEM ones? It would be nice if they did since it would save me $60 but I'll spend the $$ if they will look cheap. Has anyone bought the aftermarket ones from this seller? The pics of them on the car look OEM but to me the pic on the car and the pics of them separately don't look like they are the same lights...maybe it is the angle?

wait a minute, how come some members had to change and LED circuit board and you didn't? is this something that you have to do regardless or you can avoid it?

Search for 'depo TL-S lights' and/or 'fishcake'. There are many members who have bought from this seller on ebay.

Thanks for the tips...found a very helpful thread where I actually saw pics from members who bought them, and they seemed thrilled. I am still a little hesitant but the savings would amount pay for the lip spoiler I want
