Looks very good bro!!

I prefer the 3D pre-FL tails over the flat FL tails, but ur LED brake light looks fresh.

On Fishcakes ad, (I bought my corner lights from him, very very happy) it says the lights are made by a German Manufacturer. Wonder if this is true...DEPO is a Chinese Co. though...?

Did it say "Made in Taiwan or China" all over it?

I hate when sellers on Ebay exaggerate....

Ended up getting these DEPO updated rear lights. They are amazing to say the least, and I am VERY particular of what I put on the car.

Install took about 45 mins, because you do indeed HAVE to pull the carpet liner to get to all the screws holding the light and there are the two cargo clips you have to remove to pull back the carpet liner and I needed power from the all mighty Zeus to remove those.

But after, the lights fit perfect, the manufacture is dead on. THEY ARE BRIGHT AS ALL HECK! The red LED turn signal can light your way through an Egyptian tomb and the red bars are bright and fresh over our dull 2008-2011 bulb lights. I feel bad because I really like the 3-D shape of these lights but they were so 1998 as far as brightness.

Yes these new lights come with 2 resisters to lessen the AMP to the lights so that they do not have to be coded. My only question is, do these resisters have a life span? and if so, can we replace them or junk the whole light? As of now I love the look too much to worry!

DEPO is very very well made, and the seller shipped them to me next day.

Nice to see u are happy with ur new tails Zeph!

And yes, it would be nice to hear from members who had them for a long time to see their durability.

From my personal experience, I stop changing bulbs or lights for aftermarket cuz I never had good luck with them. They always end up burning on me rather quickly.

I completely understand. Aftermarket is no different sometimes than OEM. They both can go bad or be made poorly and not pass QC. Upon inspection these were TOP NOTCH and we shall see what happens...

My front corners are DEPO too so why worry with them if they have been excellent!

But like dch said, my favorite mod to date and I can't wait to drive during the night

Im joining the club too boys! I hope to have mine in this week.

Was seriously contemplating the Euro Amber turn signals to match the Amber side view mirrors. But ended up with the red/clear set. Like DCH and Zeph.


I was on the fence on changing them. The price is not bad so I took a chance. Didn't want to put inferior product on the car, despite it being newer tech.


Lets see how they go, the rear tail lights on the PFL's are an eye sore compared to the FL version IMHO.

Still my favorite Mod to date...

Not sure what the warning light was for....the rear side marker is that single LED light on the side of the light, closest to the rear quarter panel.

But if it went away, all good....

Check all lights periodically to make sure you have none out...

I got mine in as well! great upgrade. Couldn't be happier.


I ended up with the Amber turns. Match the side mirrors as well. Install was a breeze. 35 minutes for both sides.


Great upgrade for the PFL sedans.

I'm on the fence about this light, is it much brighter when compare with the OEM FL tail lights? I have seen some aftermarket tail lights (like on the BRZ or FR-S) that are way too bright, looks like their brake lights are on. Any feedback or pics?

Don't mean to be rude but this whole thread is filled with pictures, feedback, and opinions about the lights...what more do you want? A visit to your house and a street parade?

Would be nice, we could have a BBQ and look at the lights. Just want to know if it is brighter than the OEM FL

Ok, I gave in. Got them installed over the weekend. The effect is excellent, the quality is close to OEM but not quite there. I was able to use the existing brackets to mount the resistors. Will see how they last.

Looks good. What year car do you have? Did you also change your rear bumper?


How are they not as good as OEM? They are exactly the same...plastic and brightness...

The ones you ordered are not DEPO, just FYI. They will not be exactly like OEM. The DEPO ones appear and work like OEM...closet there is.

Hmm I thought they were pretty much OEM style but just smoked versions.

Don't you have to use the regular halogen bulbs in the DEPO ones? That is what I didn't like about them. These seem to be all LED.
