    LED vs RCR Tails

    Well, as you know, I'm rebuilding my car. I'm not a huge fan of doing modifications twice. I currently have DEPO RCR's, and the smaller pieces are obviously darker than the larger ones. I don't like that. Could I get some input on the reliability of DEPO led tails(both RCR and M3 style) vs the cost of OEM RCR's? I can't find them often, and they are a pretty penny.

    Also, what is a "good" price for OEM RCR's?

    Once I decide, I just want to sell my other sets of tails.

    I had eagle eyes, and never had an issue. I may have been lucky though. I'm going with euro cleats from TMS, someday.

    I have the Euro clear package (RCR) from Turner Motorsports and I love them. Perfect fitment, no issues with moisture, very good looking. I'd recommend that, I'm not a fan of LED tails...

    Woah, $400. Going to delay that for a tad bit, then. I think I'm just going to sell my DEPO set of clears and go back to amber, just need to find a set of OEM amber corners to finish it off.

    Why did you get rid of them? Don't like the look? I'm kinda leaning towards RCR as well, but they are not cheap.

    I believe Dane had them on his old TiAg, which is totaled.

    IMO, I love both styles, but LED's just look so damn sexy on my black sedan. Not to mention they are CRAZY bright.

    I have the eagle eye brand as well, no problems thus far.

    Are they the M3 style or are they RCR style with LED? I'm just mad that the trunk lights are darker than the body lights. =( Do you have that issue with Eagle Eyes?

    I'm assuming your eagle eyes are M3 style?
