95-98 NISSAN 240SX S14 BLACK LED ALTEZZA TAIL LIGHTS 96:eBay Motors (item 190306200722 end time May-12-09 18:22:09 PDT)
now i was thinking of getting a set but wasn't sure if there is any difference or are they all made by the same manufacturer? cause rave spec has them for like 400 bucks and the company that make them is dmax. then intense power doesn't state the manufacturer(unless its them which i doubt) and they dont have a price listed. then the ones on ebay range from 220 to 270. now to me they all look the same but is one actually better than the other?

hmm.
i always thought those looked nice on any color s14.

i'd like to know on quality too.

bump.

My buddy has them on his S14, installed without issues, look pretty good. So far no problems.

madd ocx · 05-10-2009, 08:52 AM

thats the problem which ones ones did they get? i'm trying to find out if they are all the same shit. cause why would rave spec be charging so much for them if its the same as the ebay ones etc.. or do they differ? thats why the price is different? just got my car painted and thought that a new set of taillights would be a nice touch..

The Chad · 05-10-2009, 11:42 AM

I too have been curious as to the variance between the brands. If the quality is all the same then why not use Ebay...right?

OptionZero · 05-10-2009, 12:05 PM

they're all the same

upsdude · 05-10-2009, 12:17 PM

are there any pics of this set up at night?

jamg · 05-10-2009, 12:25 PM

it's all the same.....just plastic and lights.

Maiku240sxS14 · 05-10-2009, 12:26 PM

^ yes there are pictures floating around....just do a search. I rock the black LED tail lights on my Zenki. I love it...I got mine from ebay. IIRC Ravspec also gets them from ebay or at least they told me to purchease mine from there.

aint that some s**t.. on ebay they cost like 220 bucks, rave spec sells em for like 400.. I wish ravespec wasn't trying to rip people off then I could just go amd pick them up and see them before I buy them. but if they all the same like some have said I will just get em off ebay.. for those that have them did you have to reseal them or anything so it doesn't get condensation inside when it rains?

s142jzkillav10 · 05-10-2009, 03:41 PM

I might be getting these for my 97 240. I still don't know which ones would look better the smoked or non smoked.

spanishricer · 05-10-2009, 03:49 PM

I have been wondering this very same question for the past few weeks, and am glad to see this thread has popped up.

I noticed awhile back that some of the center garnish pieces had different keyhole designs than others, depending on which vendor you bought them from?

D-Max from Rav Spec

Intense Power

Generic Ebay

Maybe it's just the lighting, but it appears the D-Max keyhole is clear while the other two are black?

spanishricer · 05-10-2009, 03:53 PM

Here is another Ebay set that appears to have a clear keyhole.

spanishricer · 05-10-2009, 03:55 PM

I would love to see some pics from people that have these tail lights installed, and which vendor they sourced them from?

BoostedCoupe · 05-10-2009, 04:14 PM

NOT MY CAR!

Okay my bad...I can't say that RAVSPEC is the one who told me, could be A-spec, but i'm not sure. But yeah they told me to look on ebay for them. I can't remember who sold them to me on ebay, I just went for the one that looked good to me and check the seller feedback. It was well packed and fitment was great. I love them.

Could you possibly check your ebay feedback or paypal account to see which seller sold you your tail lights? It would be nice to know.

yeah they do look good! but if you could find the vendor you got them from that would be good. but this really interesting cause i know that company junyan made those euro taillights that came out fpr the s14 a while back, so maybe they manufacture these as well.. who knows but i will probably chance the ebay ones.. but any other input would be helpful on this..

GSXRJJordan · 05-10-2009, 10:30 PM

One of the original vendors when those came out a couple years ago said they're all the same. Quality is 'meh', sometimes you have to reseal them (they get fogged up). Find the best deal and jump on it.

OptionZero · 05-10-2009, 11:07 PM

dude
they're all the same

they're just 200 bucks

fuck

if u like 'em get 'em, if not, don't

Thank you for your feedback.

Anyone else have something worthwhile to contribute?

illxs14 · 05-11-2009, 12:03 AM

i want to make the jump over too these so i've been talking to a couple people, and honestly it seems like it depends. lol
the d-max guys say the quality is great. better then the other tail lights that are out there. personally i like the way the d-max lights look
i know a guy that's running the ebay lights. he's had no problems with them fogging up at all.
just my .02

JVDSKYRINE · 05-11-2009, 11:59 AM

I was thinki9ng of making a custom led setup on the red and clear lights

I am just going to take the backing off and might have to do some minor cutting/drilling but throw some leds in similar to the ones you guys posted...plus the big problem with the ebay ones is they fog up so make sure to seal them up/recock them before installation I had led ones on my skyline

JVDSKYRINE · 05-11-2009, 12:01 PM

Actually I was searching on egay and found some led ones in chrome ricer style thats right up my alley

These would look good on bright colored cars

I'll find out when I get home tonight on who the seller was. I believe it was 2 years ago that I bought them and it was around $250+.

So 2 years running and I never had ANY FOG issues on my ebay LED's. The first year and a half with the lights it was daily driven and had no issues. I guess I got lucky.

Maiku240sxS14 · 05-11-2009, 07:41 PM

The seller that I bought them from was "ProGrille".

bshotts · 05-11-2009, 08:57 PM

Here's a set sold to me by Intense Power. The manufacturer is actually Sonar. You can google Sonar LED 240sx and you'll see what I'm talking about. I have been extremely satisfied with mine...everyone should update NOW!

DrftKingIII · 05-11-2009, 09:02 PM

I have them and I absolutely love them. I got them from Taillightwarehouse.com or something liek that. The only problem Ive had is that water/moisture seeps in a little bit, so before you install them, throw some sealant around the edges to keep the water out. Other than that I love mine and they look great at night.

madd ocx · 05-11-2009, 10:47 PM

well it all seems to be the same! anyone else have any input please share.. heres a few things that might help:
1. post where you purchased them ( vendors, ebay, whatever)
2. if you can what is the name on the taillights maybe signifying the manufacturer.
3. and quality, and satisfaction..
many people say they are the same, but you never know cause dmax seems too feel theres are better, and not the same as everyone else!

OptionZero · 05-12-2009, 01:59 AM

yeah, cuz d-max is going to admit that they get their shit from the same factory as the random guy on ebay

how can you make something so simple so fuckin complicated

they are $200 taillights
how many different sources of the things do you think there are? Especially a different source that uses the exact same design?
