ATTN: Ebay Buyers

I have a questions about getting tails from Ebay. Has anyone bought tails from ebay? Is there any difference between them and the jdm ones? Im thinking about buying them from Ebay, theyre $100 cheaper than everywhere else.

Im talking about these ones.

Well they come with bulbs included so if one blows then i'll have backup bulbs. Hope I get more positive than negative feedback. I'll be ordering them on Wednesday if everyone goes well.

i'm looking for the Depo ones.. gonna fetch a pair for my bro's car.

read reviews over here and alot agrees they're holding good. others would suggest JDMs, because they're too concerned about quality.

IMO, whatever floats your boat. it ur money, your call..

i emailed a few of the buyers from ebay and both of them had no issues what so ever after months of usage. and for like 175 instead of 400...Cant beat it. Always gonna have your "i paid 400 cause i wanted the same thing but from japan haters". I havent bought them yet tho so i dont have any actual experience.

If they start to moisture, there are 2 solutions. 1 is fill a seald box with rice or the gel packets and close it, or open them and reseal them yourself.
