Default L.E.D Taillights

Does any body know of a l.e.d taillight they make that looks like the 2000 A4 stock taillight or of a nice l.e.d A4 taillight that doesn't look like a shitty jdm light?

Is that what you're talking about? You could always just put led bulbs in your lights. That's what I did. But my only reason for that was because my subwoofer blew up so many normal bulbs... I'm not too sure why or how but the leds have stayed in one piece. Each bulb had 24 leds and was just as bright as the stock ones. My pre-facelift tail lights took size 1157 bulbs, not sure if that changed or not.

what is teh general consensus on those lights in the link?
so its going to be $180 (price plus shipping) for the lights, and 4 in-line resistors will be $35 shipped... 6 in-line resistors to include back-up lights to avoid error lights.. $50...
hmm to do it right it'd be around $210 lets say.
if not you COULD get them for $180, have brake light errors and beeping, backup light errors and beeping, fast blinking turn signals all around- a totally un-sleek feel.
is $210 worth it to anyone? i would like to see some pictures installed- they look good in the ad!

you would need the resistor and a heat shield, so you'd spend $2-4 a bulb the radio shack way.
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR about 3/4 of the way down the page, load resistors. i know that you can rig up the same thing at radio shack but this is the general consensus of where people get their resistors.
price plus shipping makes for about $7-8 each resistor man, the USPS is a bunch of sharks these days
