Hey I get credit for that... I went from saving for DDMs to saving for PSS9s. Now to fix this tail light crap!

Calvin I'm fine with the $150 but those aren't the ones I like/want. I want the top part clear and smoked and the bottom simply red... does EAS sell those or just the ones you linked to?

Yea I'll do that. I want their clears with the clear part smoked. Otherwise I'll just keep stock until I come across a good set of those.

I've got a full-1 set of Inpro smoked signals i'm selling. They're not OE but better than DDM. IIRC they dont have the check control module resistor (once in awhile they give the tail light failure message on the OBC) but all the lights work as they're supposed to.

Those look the same as the EAS smoked ones, which I don't really like. I'd rather go with the clear EAS ones and maybe smoke them lightly myself with nightshades or just stay clear... this is the look I'm after

definatly return them

Yea but I'd rather buy them already done haha... Anyone like EAS make the smoked tails already (smoked like the DDM ones) but OE quality?

i think i spent more time reading this thread than it would take to DIY, and im not going through the hassle you had, and have in front of you.
