I like the LED look, but I personally went with the kouki oem ones

sickstatus 12-23-2009 12:40 PM

i like the oem ones too but i seen the leds on a black and white kouki and i fell for them ahaha.

im planning to paint my car a dark grey color and i imagined that it would look sick on it.

thats y i bought them. i cant complain. i got a good deal on them too.

NINJASPY 12-23-2009 05:50 PM

on the leds, the red part on the inners are not the same size as the outers, the the key hole has a weird oval thing going on.
I would also like the corner part to be amber instead of clear.

otherwise, oem for me.

sickstatus 12-23-2009 06:28 PM

ty for ur opinion. =]

sickstatus 12-23-2009 08:17 PM

the lights are about the same size as the outer.

A54 12-24-2009 10:04 AM

lights on
 
They are both good. It's what you like...Your the one that will be driving it. How about at night? That might change some people's vote. Maybe post some pictures at night with the tailights on.

sickstatus 12-24-2009 12:10 PM

ill post later tonight. lolol =]

!Zar! 12-24-2009 05:28 PM

Oem .

S13 curtis 12-24-2009 08:50 PM

led lights ftw

Future240 12-25-2009 11:53 PM

IMO led taillights on s-chassises only look good with S13 180sx tails. Seeing as this car is not that, then oem is my vote.

punxva 12-26-2009 10:21 AM

oem is also my vote

sickstatus 12-26-2009 12:47 PM

the led tailights look soo much better at night though.... imo

i still need to get pics up of a night shot..

kingkilburn 12-27-2009 12:08 PM

Whether you like Mike or not you have to go with clearcorners.

But if you can't combine oem with leds stick with oem.

Turbo Nismo 12-27-2009 12:24 PM

Oem all the way. I don't like too much the leds.

sickstatus 12-27-2009 02:13 PM

maybe it would look better when i paint my car. lol.

i grew on to them so i kinda like the leds better.

plus not alot of people have them, wanted to be a little different.

g_mac530 12-27-2009 03:21 PM

i had the led's drove the car in the rain a few times then i started getting water and condensation in the tail lights. got fed up sold them and bought oem.

agree with him if you are going to put led try to reseal them again because water and condensationwill get in them

sickstatus 12-27-2009 04:46 PM

same shit happened to me. im just going to reseal them. no biggy.

sucks though. nothing u can do, its out of ur control.

blitzsti22 12-27-2009 05:49 PM

led looks good but when it rainned it messed up they got all foggy :(

sickstatus 12-27-2009 06:15 PM

yea its sucks. its a manufacture defect.

rb26man 12-28-2009 08:42 AM

led's look cool but oem kouki ftw

blackrms13 12-28-2009 04:05 PM

i'd say if ur stock bodied, OEM

all aero on, LED

sickstatus 12-28-2009 04:50 PM

i agree ^^^

BoostedCoupe 12-28-2009 09:57 PM

sickstatus 12-28-2009 10:39 PM

I hate to tell you, but they are the same thing. I ordered what were supposed to be "d-max" led tail lights and when they shipped they came in a box call ultimate led and were made in taiwan. Companies may try to re-brand them as something else but they are all the same. Not trying to deter you from buying them, just want to let you know.

Dee 12-30-2009 12:07 PM

They look real good on a black s14's but I generally prefer the OEM over the L.E.D. Less tacky looking. JMO

sickstatus 12-30-2009 03:22 PM

like i said before, im painting my car dark grey, imo i think it would look better in grey.

but they do look awesome at night. thanks for the night shot ahaha.

frankist 12-30-2009 10:10 PM

depends on the color of the car and exterior mods. both look good in my own opinion.

besTint 01-01-2010 03:29 AM

sickstatus 01-01-2010 12:51 PM

that would be interesting lol.

OEM. Those LED tails make your car look cheap. And ricey if I may add too.

thanks for ur opinion.

kingkilburn 01-02-2010 06:15 PM

I like the light out put and the color but I think he needs to add the option of putting a diffuser between the LEDs and the lens of the tail light.

You don't see the individual LEDs with the 180sx tails at all. That is how the S14s should be too.

jinesz32 01-04-2010 12:14 AM

leds for the win! imo i like leds more than oem.

upsdude 01-04-2010 12:37 AM

go with what your gut tells you. if you like LED's, then get 'em. you're never going to be able to decide if you put off a decision such as a cosmetic mod in the hands of strangers...too many diverging opinions.

sickstatus 01-04-2010 04:26 AM

very nice answer.

thanks for your opinion.

swayray 01-04-2010 03:41 PM

I had the OEM center w/ the LED sides... it came out looking great until the LEDs started fogging out then I switch back to the OEM sides.

sickstatus 01-04-2010 04:57 PM

any pics of it on ur car?

sickstatus 01-16-2010 01:46 PM

thanks for voting!

s142jzkillav10 01-18-2010 12:47 AM

I would do LED smoked.

bornslippy73 02-19-2010 01:26 PM

OEM tails are still the best. Easier in my opinion to replace.

upsdude 02-19-2010 01:59 PM

they look really nice on black. if i can't find some oem's for a decent price imma go with the LED's

sickstatus 02-19-2010 02:39 PM

lol, u will like them.

if anything u will grow on to them like i did.

upsdude 02-19-2010 03:47 PM

oh did you end up getting the LED's? any issues with condensation?

Spitfire8o5 05-23-2010 10:04 PM

you should rock the LED's just as long as you get amber turn signals.. Woo!

Boss s14 02-25-2013 08:38 PM

yea leds on a black or white, gray looks nice as well. It would look nice if they were a bit darker.

Led`s modernize the car`s...

Slidingmonkey 04-10-2013 06:58 AM

OEM all day!

Niterdr 04-22-2013 07:31 PM

Led all the way. it makes for a cleaner look.

ShadowDrifter 04-22-2013 11:41 PM

LED for more then just looks its also less of a power drain too

Jack Bauer S14 04-22-2013 11:57 PM

My gut tells me to get the led tailights but i don't know... They look great but I am anti rice though...

ShadowDrifter 04-23-2013 12:13 AM

LED's are FAR from rice they look good they arn't like some of the crap you see for say the s13's

LuckyRPS13 04-26-2013 12:30 AM

I am on the fence between the 2. Kouki OEM = Kouki LED > Zenki OEM

rawgarage 04-27-2013 09:56 AM

LED all day

KOUKIboy 04-28-2013 10:31 PM

What about making the OEM Kouki into LED??? That's what I'm doing lol

Agent S14 04-28-2013 10:48 PM

I prefer oem since I am trying to complete the Jdm s14 kouki exterior.i want to keep it as oem as possible on the outside.

Maiku240sxS14 04-29-2013 12:14 PM

I prefer LED's>Kouki's>Zenki's....

art_thowtho 05-04-2013 07:34 PM

Personal preferance.

OEM = Clean jdm look

LED = Aftermarket + body kit parts to top it off

nickfd3s 03-09-2014 05:06 PM

I still like the oem look better

azn_renegade 01-12-2015 05:02 PM

LEDs look sharp!

Nissan2nr22 12-08-2016 10:14 AM

IM sure someone said this already but im not going to read through every comment

A mint set of OEM ones will hold up 10x better than a aftermarket set.
I personally like the DMAX regular LED ones, not the chrome ones or tinted ones. I like those because I dont drive my project cars every day, if I were to daily your car id stay oem, have them either repainted or buffed if they are faded.
