Anyone know if this thing is legit or not? I think it may be a legit piece with no tint on the inside of the housing. Maybe someone removed it?
I have never seen a red third brake light only the blueish green ones with the black out tinting.

Its legit only if the flutes are left handed.
But the easiest way to tell is to check the numbers.

Yeah should be pretty easy to determine if you can verify that the numbers match.

Yall are fag-tastic :picardfp:
You troll around and ruin perfectly good threads. I'm sure your cars are accurate representations of your attitudes toward others. Crappy.
If you gots mad stretch,
If you gots a slammed ride,
If you look like a neon sign rolling down the road,
If you got more camber then sense,
If your a post whore,
I really could care less what you think....
Oh but I forgot, I'm in the wrong, right? this is where you explain to me how yall are some sort of awesome sick mad drifters with tons of tight skills livin life. R.I.P.!!! Oh and your zilvia rep? Forget it, its off the chain. Its so sick you can troll around and still be on top of the game and folks like me with near OEM Kouki's that had all their numbers in order and hadn't been cut up into sick drift machines should just head back to the local starbucks and talk mad smack about all our OEM Goodness... Grow up!!!
Anyway....
Heres a link to the part in question.

Someone paid $325 for that?!!
I do LED retrofits using OEM tbl housing and OEM LED module for less than 1/3 of that and it doesn't look like a niteshade/vinyl project gone wrong.

Nope when ebay sells an item as a best offer deal it doesn't show the actual sale price just the asking price.
I already purchased the item as I was looking for a red one but it took the seller two months to agree to my purchase price which was considerably lower then his sale price, ill say less then half but that's all Ill say. I often times makes very low offers to ebay sellers especially when they have sat on the parts for months. You would be surprised what folks will take after not selling an item for months on end.
I was looking for one in red not blueish/green like the ones you normaly see, this apparently is a rare item in Japan too having only heard of three of them I figure its either folks figured out how to strip the tinting from the original oem piece or its a very very rare item from the factory.

There is nothing legit about what you have purchased. Can easily tell by how shitty the quality of pictures are on that listing.
OEM Silvia 3rd brake light comes in the green color only. Essentially there is a film that goes over the lens to give it a green color.

Here you can see the film peeling away on some of the letters. If you peel all of this film away, you can essentially change the bulbs to an LED color of your choice.
What you bought looks like a shitty retrofit LED job, but its hard to tell because the pictures look like they were taken with an early 2000's flip phone.
edit:
For those of you who are lazy but still want to laugh at what the OP bought...

Not sure how it was done but the housing is original. Not saying it couldn't have been tampered with. That's the question. How was this done if it was tampered with.
I agree photos suck its a risk. Even so at the price I paid its reasonable if its a good retrofit.
If not its ebay and I can always get my money back. Poor eBay sellers life's hard on them. Ask me how I know....

hahahahahahahahaha
That light you bought definitely says
Silyia
How silly of me
Just like your idea of buy a light that says silyia so you can feel cool about your problems when you tell strangers you drive a Silvia
