    My only beef with the Depo RCR standard tails is that they have a hideous DEPO logo stamped on them. Otherwise, they look fine and function fine, and are priced very well. I think if you used an OE gasket on them, they'd be just as reliable as OE ones.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    That DEPO logo is barely visible from 6 feet away. You would only see them, if you know what you are looking for (and are OCD about things). Not saying they are OEM quality, but I have had mine since 2014 (not using OEM gasket) and I have had no issues with water leaking in or anything.

    The sidemarkers are another story...

    Yep, exactly true. The logos aren't visible from more than a couple of feet away. I'm just really picky. ☺️

    Hmm, the sidemarkers concern me a bit. Which one do guys recommend then considering the pricing as well? Oh yeah, also for the front corner lights.

    Thanks!

    ill throw this in there. I have the Depo clear corners, the Depo LED side markers and some random Amazon LED tails i got for $140. and so far after a few washes and lots of rain... i havent had any leaks or fogging/condensation.

    I had the Euro RCR tails and i wont lie, the quality was amazing, nice gaskets but overall they just look dated to me. its personal preference. I know its more of a ZHP/OEM styling thing and why many people prefer them over others i just went a slightly different direction. I still see plenty of beautiful cars with the RCR tails and it looks awesome.


    on my amazon tail lights, i like them because with these, the LED boards are NOT mounted inside the housing so if an LED goes out i can fix them easily but with other versions... if the LEDs fail.. you have to bake and cut the housing apart just to get to the boards. these tails also come with a nice OEM style cover that has an integrated halogen wedge bulb like stock that turns on for your trunk light and mounts to your tail light housing with 1 screw to cover the LED boards. it still has an OEM appearance when all said and done.

    Depo LED Sidemarkers (i like the sidemarkers but they do stay DIMLY lit for about 2 min after you turn the car off due to the LEDs purging out remaining power. you can not see it unless its dark in the garage and there is virtually n power loss from this as LEDs use extremely low power.)
