    Think these are referred to as "Eagle eyes" or some chit.
    Bought off ebay... distributed by JDM

    These were installed to compliment my dirt cheap new JDM blacked out head lamps/corners...

    Was time for change...
    I've been sportin' the SR5 chrome package way too long ;)

    ^ was too lazy to pull it out the garage fo' a pictar

    Maybe somewhat bling(ish)...
    But these lights really lite up nicely and are eye attracting bright !
    My back up bulb is a Xenon HO (white), (the others, oem standard)
    The reverse lighting works very well
    ^ one of the reasons for choosing these tail lights...
    was the clear lens back up light reflectors.

    oh and that they're dirt cheap too ! :p

    The bumper is a warmed over All-Pro unit....

    I wasn't sure I'd like these tail lights...
    but when they're lit up...
    an eye can't miss it.

    These tail lights I believe... are a hit or miss on quality tho'

    the first mailed pair were a failure... returned defective.
    the 2nd pair... work correctly, plug n play...
    and the mounting holes align somewhat better.

    I guess the look is acceptable...
    considering they're dirt cheap :D

    managed a coupla' crappy pics...
    was hurried and without assistance...
    so the brake light(s) is not applied

    * I'll try and post some better pics later in the week...
    If I can get this camera to do it.

    the back up lights are fairly brite...
    but muh helper seems to stand on the brake lights thru the whole ordeal. Lol

    sup dude

    was looking at the same lights myself - no chit - very cheap

    u say they're brighter - did you mod the bulbs?

    was thinking about altezza LEDs but i'm not sure they wouldn't get me pulled over (double negative, er...)

    oh yeah. put the vidyy back up? :popcorn:

    Sorry... the video clip needs to be redone.
    Because mistakes were done during that.
    But I re-posted that until I can remake the video.

    I had the third brake light wire backwards..
    and the brake lights were not disengaged
    to show the back up lights quality all that well.

    These are the bulbs that came with the lights.
    except the reverse lights bulbs...
    which are a HO white bulb.

    I really like these tail lights...
    highly visible and dot legal.
    Inexpensive, easily available bulbs get the job done.
