Has anyone installed the Eagle Eye taillights WITH blackout covers? If so are those lights any brighter than stock lights with blackout covers?
Thanks!

The Eagle Eyes LED tail lights are much brighter than OEM stock lights, and they remain brighter than OEM with a similar blackout cover.

I will add that when you add tinting or any type of blackout cover to an LED tail light, you do loose some brightness as you get further off axis from directly behind the car. IE, if you stand off to the side by 45 degrees, the individual led lights are less visible, although the overall brightness (especially at night) is still there.

This is with just the lights on, NOT with the brakes applied. These are tinted, NOT with blackout covers.

Thank you, this is just the kind of information I was wanting. You have a beautiful car!

I've have bought several sets of these (trying different tints and such) over the last 3-4 years.

The first set I bought, I got off of Ebay for $270 shipped. I have bought several other sets from JW Motoring. He has very good prices and GREAT customer service.

You might be able to find them slightly cheaper (by a few bucks) somewhere else if you search hard but if there is ANY problem Jhonathan stands behind everything he sells.

Prices vary depending on whether you want them tinted or not and sometimes you can find them on sale. Around $270-300 is a decent price but tinting will run you more.

All of the circular LED tail lights that I have ever seen are made by the same manufacturer (Eagle Eyes).

It is possible that some LED lights on Ebay may be 'irregulars' (with slight flaws), but they also may be just fine. The first set I bought off of Ebay are still working 3 years later.

I just like buying from JW Motoring because if there is any problems Jhonathan will make it right.


FYI - I have seen vendors asking $400 for regular red LED tail lights - WAY overpriced.

I am currently trying JW Motoring's "JWM RED" led tail lights. Slightly darker tinted than regular red LED tail lights.

To answer your question, The Eagle Eyes without blackouts or tint are very bright, much brighter than stock, typically thats why most people tint them because they are so bright

Best place to get them is eBay. $230

I would not recommend the blackout covers. I tried them in 07......2 fell off in the summer heat and 2 rubbed the paint a bit after they sagged down into contact with the body.

I went with stock tinted lights till last year when I changed over to JWMotoring tinted LEDs. Love them. Brighter both day and night than my stock lights (which were pretty bright).
