I reccomend neither. I like stock.

 

This is stock.

 

i mean you could go to a junkyard and spend like 40 bucks

they look like garbo

 

You say your tail lights are fine, right? Why spend money on some aftermarket lights that probably won’t even fit correctly to replace them if they’re fine…? I don’t get it.

 

So they look brand new. When I parked next to Galapolis the other day when he sold me the black grab handles, he had recently replaced his with these, brand new, and I could tell the difference between his new ones and mine, and I wanted new ones.

You’re wasting money man. Have you tried giving yours a buff or anything?

 

Not really. I can then sell mine and I paid a few dollars for new ones.

I could buff, but that's doesn't fix internal wear. It's fine, but it's not much of an expenditure after selling mine.

Eh you’re gonna do you man but just seems whack to me. Good luck!

 

Elite? No there is nothing elite about maintaining your car and keeping it looking nice. It takes a lot of work and effort to keep it looking nice. There is nothing "Elite" about it, it's not like I'm rich and paying servants to do it, I maintain it myself, work 2 jobs, and go to graduate school. Hard work, not elite.

Stop getting so defensive, I was only explaining the reason why I want to keep it tip top, when you said you "just don't get it", so I tried to explain it for you.

 

I replaced my 17 year old stock sedan taillights with Depo RCR. Yes, I am elite. 🤣

Looks great, nice car!

How did you like the Depo lights?

 

Check out TYC as well, not an OEM brand either but I've had their parts before and the quality is awesome. Basically on par with ULO, which is an OEM.

 

OP just wants an opinion on aftermarket taillights. Neither looks like crap (they're not Altezzas), and many of us have swapped over.

If I didn't want coupe/vert-look LED tails, I'd swap to these.

 

I didn't even know it existed, but there are the facelift version with LED as well. I don't know how I feel about them

 

^Not really feeling that. If you're going to go LEDs, best to stick with the established E46 factory pattern:

That's what I plan to do at least. Eagle Eye sedan LED tails shown.

Same. I like the LED like you pictured, but personally I like the RCR ones better, especially for sedans.

 

Yeah I would go with led ones

 

everyone has given their opinion as:

dont buy aftermarkets
buy tyc
buy leds

TYC is aftermarket as well.

 

I'm still running the stock red-amber-red tails on my sedan, but I like the euro look of the clear signals. I'm not sure why all the random hate from people here. I swapped to OEM Euro clear tails on my wagon and I really like the look.

I have seen several cars with DEPO RCR tail lights and they seem to fit well. I couldn't tell any difference in fitment between my OEM tail lights and the DEPO's on the other car next to mine. I'd normally be all in on the ULO/OEM parts but in this case I don't think it would justify the extra $150

 

Eagle eye led

And ulo is hot trash
