OEM:

LED:

Dazzla · 12-23-2009, 12:26 PM

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

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.

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
