Anyone with Spyder LED tail lights?

One on my tail light is chipped at the corner & I'm looking to replace it with LED instead. Does anyone have this Spyder LED (I think that's what they call it) tail lights installed & with pictures so I can see how it look. I've seen the DEPO from my old 996, DelRay, RoTtec, Dectane, but not this one. I couldn't decide which look better.

TIA

I have seen those on 911 up here in North Dallas a few times, they actually don't look bad but I couldn't get close enough on the tollway to get a real good look. Not sure if they are on this forum but next time I see it, I will snap a pic for you.

I got crystal smoke depo's and was worried that the smoke was too dark but its a very light smoke, so far very happy with them. Excuse the dirty garage.

Thanks for the link. It look kinda weird, IMO. Maybe better if the clear part wraps around like stock.

997.2 have OEM clear tail lights, why go after market?
I would pass on spyder lights, go with Dectane (much better looking and closer to OEM)

Your pic is not an aftermarket light but a Porsche option -

Thanks, you can take a set of OEM clears and put a light smoke film on them.

A lot of FR-S/BRZ guys go with Spyder tail lights; I put DEPO lights on my BRZ so I can't comment to Spyder's quality, just their popularity.
