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

[sickstatus]

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]

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]

ty for ur opinion. =]

[sickstatus]

the lights are about the same size as the outer.

[A54]

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]

ill post later tonight. lolol =]

[!Zar!]

Oem .

[S13 curtis]

led lights ftw

[Future240]

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]

oem is also my vote

[sickstatus]

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

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

[kingkilburn]

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]

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

[sickstatus]

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]

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.

[juve_240sx]

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

[sickstatus]

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]

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

[sickstatus]

yea its sucks. its a manufacture defect.

[rb26man]

led's look cool but oem kouki ftw

[blackrms13]

i'd say if ur stock bodied, OEM

all aero on, LED

[sickstatus]

i agree ^^^

ima get aero on the 18th.

[BoostedCoupe]

oem over egay led anyday. the led ones just look cheap.

[sickstatus]

the led lights not from ebay lol.

coped them from intense power...

[sickstatus]

dangg close poll.

oem: 40

led: 39

[gsracer]

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]

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]

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.

[BoostedCoupe]

the led lights not from ebay lol.

this made me laugh. they are all the same, and they will all fog up when it rains. just get oem kouki tails.


/thread

[gsracer]

mine havent.... if you know how to install lights they wont...

[TurboFC3C]

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


You're right.

[frankist]

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

[sickstatus]

You're right.

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

oem with leds, very interesting...

imo i dont like them. too much going on.

thanks for ur opinion.

[kingkilburn]

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]

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

[upsdude]

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]

very nice answer.

thanks for your opinion.

[swayray]

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]

any pics of it on ur car?

[sickstatus]

thanks for voting!

[s142jzkillav10]

I would do LED smoked.

[bornslippy73]

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

[upsdude]

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]

lol, u will like them.

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

[upsdude]

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

[Spitfire8o5]

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

[Boss s14]

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]

OEM all day!

[Niterdr]

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

[ShadowDrifter]

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

[Jack Bauer S14]

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

[ShadowDrifter]

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]

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

[rawgarage]

LED all day

[KOUKIboy]

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

[Agent S14]

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]

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

[art_thowtho]

Personal preferance.

OEM = Clean jdm look

LED = Aftermarket + body kit parts to top it off

[nickfd3s]

I still like the oem look better

[azn_renegade]

LEDs look sharp!

[Nissan2nr22]

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.
