They look real good on a black s14's but I generally prefer the OEM over the L.E.D. Less tacky looking. JMO

OEM all day!

gsracer · 12-30-2009, 05:34 PM

frankist · 12-30-2009, 10:10 PM

depends on the color of the car and exterior mods. both look good in my own opinion.

besTint · 01-01-2010, 03:29 AM

how about custom l.e.d. on OEM?

sickstatus · 01-01-2010, 12:51 PM

*kingkilburn* · 01-02-2010, 06:15 PM

I like the light out put and the color but I think he needs to add the option of putting a diffuser between the LEDs and the lens of the tail light.

You don't see the individual LEDs with the 180sx tails at all. That is how the S14s should be too.

jinesz32 · 01-04-2010, 12:14 AM

leds for the win! imo i like leds more than oem.

upsdude · 01-04-2010, 12:37 AM

go with what your gut tells you. if you like LED's, then get 'em. you're never going to be able to decide if you put off a decision such as a cosmetic mod in the hands of strangers...too many diverging opinions.

sickstatus · 01-04-2010, 04:26 AM

very nice answer.

thanks for your opinion.

*swayray* · 01-04-2010, 03:41 PM

I had the OEM center w/ the LED sides... it came out looking great until the LEDs started fogging out then I switch back to the OEM sides.

sickstatus · 01-04-2010, 04:57 PM

any pics of it on ur car?

sickstatus · 01-16-2010, 01:46 PM

s142jzkillav10 · 01-18-2010, 12:47 AM

I would do LED smoked.

bornslippy73 · 02-19-2010, 01:26 PM

OEM tails are still the best. Easier in my opinion to replace.

upsdude · 02-19-2010, 01:59 PM

they look really nice on black. if i can't find some oem's for a decent price imma go with the LED's

sickstatus · 02-19-2010, 02:39 PM

lol, u will like them.

if anything u will grow on to them like i did.

upsdude · 02-19-2010, 03:47 PM

oh did you end up getting the LED's? any issues with condensation?

Spitfire8o5 · 05-23-2010, 10:04 PM

you should rock the LED's just as long as you get amber turn signals.. Woo!

Boss s14 · 02-25-2013, 08:38 PM

yea leds on a black or white, gray looks nice as well. It would look nice if they were a bit darker.

BigKriss · 02-26-2013, 11:49 AM

Led`s modernize the car`s...

Niterdr · 04-22-2013, 07:31 PM

Led all the way. it makes for a cleaner look.

ShadowDrifter · 04-22-2013, 11:41 PM

LED for more then just looks its also less of a power drain too

Jack Bauer S14 · 04-22-2013, 11:57 PM

My gut tells me to get the led tailights but i don't know... They look great but I am anti rice though...
