Anyone have the Stillen LED taillights?

Led Tails
just curious, why do all of you say the LED tails are ugly? they look STOCK, you can't see anything.. you do know that the pic on their website is the inner part.. the housing goes over the assembly, so it looks like a stock tail light.. but they're too expensive.. i'll get them when they're $150/pair! lol

are you sure about that? I've never seen another picture of them besides the website to support your claim. In the picture below you can see the bulb in the reverse light a lot of bright chrome, smore red and some LEDs. Where does this "housing" you speak of go?

i wanna see what these look like with the covers on them. do the covers look like OEM 5.5, or 5th gen SE or GLE? or are there aftermarket versions of the cover too? We cant buy these just from the look of the INNER part.

look here: http://www.stillen.com/sportscars_pr...cat=158&dsbp=1
the description reads: "00-03 NISSAN MAXIMA CRYSTAL CLEAR L.E.D. TAIL LIGHT"
to me, it sure sounds like it doesn't have a cover...what you see in the picture is what you get...

with that smoked...really smoked, if you could do a custom color, and basically make it look like an SE tail light with an all red circle, that could be hot, and you would have it light up like the G35 tails, but that is a lot of custom work with Testors red paint and lots of coats of nightshades. a lot of money to spend on something that could end up lookin horrible. i wonder how many of these have actually been sold. 95% of the ORG things they are horrible.

yes maxi, thats exactly what im saying. its entirely too much work and time and money to make these look good, but if someone was gonna do it, that is the only way i can see it even looking remotely good.

hmm..
try to look at the picture, and picture this in 3D. look at the top right, how it bulges out... it looks like it sticks out.. you know what i mean?? YES, what you see in the pic, is what you get... but it doesn't mean its a complete assembly.. I.E. you can get the headlights in the case, or just the housing.. i will try to find more info on this for you guys.
I just called the guys, they didn't sound like they know much about the product... "uhmm, i'm not sure" "uhmmm, this is how it comes right out of the box"
so i'm not sure - i could be wrong...

alright i have read enough. someone owed me a favor and i had them get me the taillights. they just got in today and let me tell you, what u see is what u get. now the very observant noticed a bulge, and that bulge is the clear cover. it comes out about 1.5" and covers the brake and turn signal. it then becomes flush till you get to the revers light, which also comes out 1.5". so you couldn't use your stock cover if you tried. the stock light sits flush and follows the flow of the rear corners where these stick out. oh yeah did i mention that they do not round off to the body. you look at the light area in the picture and that is the only area that sticks out. i will install when i get some time and take different angle pics and post them. untill then
