I bought a pair once and the turn signals were almost impossible to notice in daylight, that because they had only about 6 or 8 leds in it. What I like the most out of these is that they are full leds.
I will for sure post pics as soon as I install them, and I'll install them as soon as they arrive. Not shipped yet though.

Alright.. I received the tail lights this morning and got a free hour to install them. Here is my review.
As soon as I opened the box I said "Looks nice". The build quality is pretty nice, of course, if you give it a VERY close look, you'll see a couple details in the chrome rings around the turn signal leds, but you won't notice that when they're already installed. What do I mean with "details"? Well, not all of them are perfectly round on the edges. But again, this is almost unnoticeable.
Installing them is a breeze, very simple and of course, as you would expect, Plug & Play. No error lights at all. No need to reprogram anything, please note that my car has the regular tail lights from factory, not the LED's.
Each taillight will come with a circuit board with 3 electronic pieces in it, I'm not sure if they are transistors, resistors or regulators. But they are noisy when the tails are on. As soon as you reassemble everything in your trunk, the noise will be almost unnoticeable, and of course you won't notice it inside the car. The noise it makes is almost identical to the one that old school Neon signs made. Its like a loud bee.
To me, the brightness is really good. I took the pictures inside the garage, but the rear side of the car was almost outside the garage, 3pm in the sunny florida, and yes, you can see all led's really well, these taillights make a very good job with sunlight imo. I took some pictures, but they don't do justice to the actual brightness it gives.
Overall Score: 9/10
Worth it: Yes
Recommend it: Yes
I think these are the best aftermarket taillights you can get, the look is really close to the face-lifted w204's tail lights and you don't have to spend a ton of money plus reprogram to get them to work.
Please see pictures attached. I will post a few more pictures with the stop lights and reverse lights ON.

I have one question though. Does it use the old bulbs from the factory tail lights. Like this 
or is it just a complete replacement and does it use a different circuit board? Im just having Rear foglights and right brake lamp errors right now and i think its due to the circut board having a shortage
