    Does anyone run these tails?

    Im picking up a set and wondering if anyone else has these units.

    Having any severe problems with leaks or brittle lenses/cases/plastics?

    Any pics on the car.

    Not really asking for opinions on looks just reviews from those who have them

    Thanks

        Every set of those I have seen on a car has turned yellow. Maybe paint them?

          I had startecs until a lady hit me. The body shop put on the all smoked verson of those lights. I have not had them leak. It is pretty smile to wire the rear fog to come on with the brake lights so you have four brake light bulbs. They are cheap and I plan to replace them.

                    Looks like you knew what you're getting into by not asking for opinions, B-well.

                        Clearing them won't help. The yellowing is due to a slow chemical change in the plastic. It's not just a thin layer on the outside of the plastic that yellows, it's ALL the plastic.

                          i have the smoked versions on my car, traded a water pump for them figured what the hell, might as well try them out, im happy with them and they dont look to bad, dont leak at all.

                            same ones i have but have the big tails looks exactly the same, im happy with them as well,,, but i need to re buy them as my left one had water damage as my trunk gasket had a leak and got inside the tails and contaminated the reflective part of the inside so it looks darker now
