Default Eagle eye vs Morimoto tail lights

I currently have the Eagle eye tail lights but have been thinking about getting the Morimoto tail lights.

Give you your feedback and pictures for both


Also does anyone have a 2010-2013 Cyber Gray GS with the morimoto's installed? post me your pictures!!

Thanks,

Tom

Had the Eagle Eyes (Light Smoke from Vette Lights) and upgraded to gen 2 Morimotos with a dark smoke center. The Eagle eyes were ok, but the individual LEDs looked tacky up close. The Morimotos are brighter, and a much nicer unit overall. Haven't regretted the change for a second.

Seriously that is one of the best Vette behind's on the forum!

Do you have any other shots farther away that you could share?

you could PM me them or just PM me and I will give you my cell # if that is easier to send....

Thanks,

Tom

I have the dark smoke eagle eyes and don't plan to get the Morimoto tails. The light emitted from the Morimotos appears to be more orange than a deep red color which is a turn-off for me. Might just be pictures though

Eagle Eyes look good, the others look like Rice.

Better?

Someone needs to post some pics of Morimotos on a CRM car. I'm somewhat torn on which style lights to get as well. The Morimotos seem to be a better quality but they don't always pair well with some car colors. They look great on black. The Eagle Eyes look good with any color car in my opinion but the quality seems lacking.

I would post pics, but i've been waiting months for my Morimoto Red LED tail lights. When/if I ever get them, I'll post pics.

Oh yeah, if you make this leap, do not fall for that "we've got sets not spoken for that will be shipped out in the next week or two" bullshit. i think some vendors have the clear or smoked versions in stock and ready to ship, but not the reds. If you want the reds, don't plan on getting them before Labor Day. If they show up before that, consider it a blessing.

Currently have the eagle eyes. Don’t really like the Morimoto enough to change. If changing from stock, would probably do them though.
