    Put on Morimoto XB and fogs, converted interior and license plate lights... Nothings left but a smoked tail lamp of similar quality, IF IT CAN BE FOUND.

    Not looking for a tail lamp with a halogen reverse bulb. Looking for the whole enchilada in high quality.

    Does it exist?

    I am totally unfamiliar with them. What is their story/history?

    I opened such a can of worms with my interior LEDs I may postpone my search now... At least until the morimotos are made.

    I’ve got Recon’s. They’re plug and play. No resistors needed to maintain OEM turn signal frequency. The biggest issue I was reading with other brands was condensation buildup within their units and I wasn’t finding any negative feedback pertaining to this issue with these Recon’s which ultimately solidified my purchase. They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. I’ve had no issues so far but waiting for the heart of winter to really test them. You’ll need to purchase LED reverse bulbs to complete your “all LED” tail light.

    All aftermarket are Chinese manufactured junk. Some are just more expensive junk than others. But in the end they are all low quality products with high failure rates.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. The only reason keeping me from getting aftermarket tails is because they are all come from China factory, just branded different. Probably better just to smoke the stock tails and put some high quality bulbs in.

    I bet you could if you thought about it. How about this: I think all Chinese manufactured aftermarket parts are junk. Some are more expensive than others, but in the end, I think they are all low quality products with high failure rates. If you notice, it went from objective to subjective which, I think, seems more appropriate.
