Who makes the smoke tail lights on ebay? Any problems?
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...QQcmdZViewItem



I’m not a fan of aftermarket lights, but I really want some tail lights. I don’t want to deal with paint and what not.
Who makes these? Is the quality good? (they are not painted correct? )

yellowltcoupe22 05-01-2008 10:06 PM

they are made by sonar and i think they are tinted plastic and not paint. i have a set of the ones that are not tinted still in the box. they look like they are of good quality though.

LS6Rally 05-01-2008 10:11 PM

i have a set of these on my balt. i love em. anyone from the reklss meet on april 6 will tell ya they look factory. and the revese lights look good. i know they look funny in the pic.

b_faulk75 05-01-2008 10:12 PM

Been wondering the same thing, i am always alittle skeptical of ebay but i like the lamps.

yellowltcoupe22 05-01-2008 10:12 PM

The site owner buying from a non-supporting vendor opposed to buying from a site supporting vendor.

That would be like owning Wal-Mart... but shopping at Meijer/Kroger/Albertson's.

USMCFieldMP 05-02-2008 01:03 AM

Interesting... they look GOOD. Screw the Modern Performance ones... get the eBay ones!

I did not buy them from Ebay, it's where I found them at the time I made the post.
IF I end up getting these, I'd buy them from a vendor here, providing they have the same tails

ReignSS, modern performance lights are not tinted on the reverse lights.

Here's mine. I bought them off of the same guy on e-bay. Have had no problems so far. The clips are a little weak but the screws hold it it fine.

JonyyB 05-02-2008 09:24 AM

I love them!
So any vendors on here sell them?

Why don't you guys make your own using night shades? A can of night shades is $13. That beats the hell out of $95

I don't really like the matte finish of niteshades. Even with a clear coat, it still looks a little flat. Plus I didn't want to mess up my lights in case I ever want to go back stock. I did use niteshades on my side markers and third brake light.

I wanted the clean look of actual tinted plastic, not just some spray-can tint. I have yet to see nightshaded tail lights be real glossy like a normal tail light. And plus now I have a set of stockers if I ever need a extra set.

i bought these off ebay. ive had them for two months and the lense on the right side fell off. i wrote them an email and they said it was past the 30 day warranty. so i let them know how i felt and that i would let all of my friends know. just over 60 days and they fell apart. the left side came loose so i glued it real quick and i didnt get to do the right one yet. so if you do buy em, exopy or weatherstrip adheasive the lenses when you get them.

JonyyB 08-18-2008 10:58 AM

So do any of our vendors sell these smoke tail lights we see on ebay? I have been waiting to get them from one of the vendors here

Red07SSNA 08-18-2008 11:19 AM

Have you considered the Alteeze tail lights? The biggest drawback is that they stick out about 3/4" more then the originals -- but they "grow" on you:lol: The best thing about them is that all 4 lights light up. Thay have them available 4 ways tinted clear, chrome clear, ruby red, and crystal clear (with red face).

the only other vendor that sells smoked tail lights besides Modern Performance is Cobalt Addiction. I went through every single vendor anyways here is the link:
