    we'll see how the light outputs are when it get's here.......

    noted... but I would prefer local buyers as it is easier for me to have the item picked-up

    noted also... (local buyers preferred)

    I will let everyone know what I would do with the LED turn signals once the replacement is here....

    also.... I might be parting out with my LED tail lights.... I'm planning to put the stock JDM ones on my car...

    again... if I will push through on selling my tail lights I would prefer local pick up....

    thanks...

    or if you decide to come out to Vegas Bino, just hang on to the goods and we can meet somewhere here. I'll buy you a beer. :LOL:

    refresh my old man memory, which tail lights do you have?

    No worries. I still have a major crush on your front turn signal/DRLs though. Keep me posted on those. The beer offer still stands. (~.^)v

    ok... yesterday my tail light was kinda having problems.. the driver side brake light seems to be not as bright as the passenger side (just the brake lights.... tail lights, turn signals and back up lights are okay). I checked the wiring and it seems fine... anyway I decided to just change the whole thing.... and not play around on how to fix it...

    I've placed an ordered for this to replace my current one...... went with smoked ones so that it would a little different from what I have now....

    I might sell the ones I have now but like I said the driver side brake lights seems to have lose it's brightness... it still lights up but not as bright as the other side.... I'm not sure if it could be fixed or it's just a loose wiring or something needs to be changed.... but if anyone is interested I'll sell them for $100 pick up (I'll take them off when my new one arrives)...

    it does not say the brand- the site only says 'All Prius LED tail L Black Smoke inner Ver. 2'

    but it does look similar to the valenti lights

    May I ask what the website is and how much they cost? Ive been looking at getting some of these for my 2012 Prius. I found these and a few others on ebay for about the same amount (185-200). TOYOTA 2010-2011 PRIUS JDM SMOKE LED TAIL LIGHTS REAR LAMPS | eBay
    Btw, here is a pic of mine. Just want it to match w/the color of the car. After tail lenses, I'm looking for LED headlights.

    nice car.... smoke ones would match your car......

    I got it directly from Japan... price range would be from 34,000 to 40,000 yen depending on the seller and model... also you need to add shipping cost to that......

    Bino has the full LED taillights. The tails in your link are half-LED (reverse and turn signals are not LEDs), hence why they're cheap at $200. As the stock taillights are already half-LED, you might as well wrap them with tints. Otherwise, expect to pay more for full LED tails.

    Got it, thanks for the info. I was wondering why there was such a price difference.

    Unless you want to go the trouble of importing them, you can consider the very similar looking Valenti lights but it appears that the SB model is sold out at the moment.

    Looking good.

    How do the fogs look? Decent projector cutoff? How about the LEDs......daytime visible?
