Default LED Tail Lamps

Hi everyone,
I am thinking about buying LED Tail lamps for my 2000 Coupe. Can anyone tell me if the ones selling on Ebaymotors for a Buy it now price of $175 are the same as the ones that are selling on mid america for $349? Are there any material differences except the price?

Default EBAY Led Lights

I have purchased at least 5 sets of LED lights from EBAY with no complaints. The price has dropped a lot from my first set which cost $249.00 (Germany) I am satisfied with mine.

I have been a bit leary of purchasing stuff from ebay but I think I will give it a try. Can't beat that price. Thanks for the response.

I order a set of the eBay Halo LED tail lights for my C5 Roadster on March 15 and they arrived FedEx ground in 5 calendar days. Most eBaymotor vendors want you to use PayPal. It's a little bit extra to go through but it does give you some purchase protection and some privacy protection as well.

With regard to them being the same as seen at a catalog vendor - I believe they are, at least they look identical to the ones I got. And, they are plug and play using the exist bulb socket to form a watertight seal.

Mine came from OptionsRacing but there are other vendors on eBay offering the $175 "But it now" price. The all-in should be $199 or less.

That's my $0.02

To save a bunch of cash maybe you could think about the LED light bulbs that just replace the existing bulb instead of the entire assembley.

I bought the led bulbs , the ones that look like a tower . These were not that bright , and they make your turn signals flash fast .Also they cost about $100.00 .
These halos sound like a good deal.

not so cheep when you pay $100 for something that does not work well.

I got the halos and get lots of complements all the time. And a few people went out and got them after seeing mine installed.
