Default Have you guys heard anything about these?

Hey everybody,
I just want to start out by saying sorry I haven't been around in awhile. I've been busy with school lately and I've also been trying to save my money since gas is starting to become ridiculous again and I don't have a job right now.

Anyways, when I get my tax return, I kind of wanted to spend it on my car since I haven't done any mods in awhile. So, I was just wondering if anybody has heard anything (good or bad) about tail lights and fog lights off of eBay. These ones in particular. Also, let me know if you even like the looks of them or if there's any others that you think would be better. Thanks guys! I'll see you all real soon!

The tail lights:

And the fog lights:

tails are direct plug and play.
the foglights have to be wired, but i would say get the real VRD ones instead.

I think you need to get your priorities straight! Gas is high, you don't have a job but you want to spend your tax return on your car? Does that make any sense to you cause it doesn't to me...
Don't get mad bro but you should REALLY think about what you wanna do with the extra $$$!

Thanks for your concern Metro, but what I meant is that I can't be spending 40 bucks a week to drive down to meet up with my club and drive back up...I live about an hour and a half away and that drive usaully uses up almost half my tank, plus I have to drive to and from school everyday. So if I made that drive, I would be filling up my tank every weekend. Besides, I only said I was thinking about buying something with my return money

You ever notice that it is always out of staters who come in here and act a fool? Tell us how to drive or what to do with this or that, why is that?

Probably because the post is in the new posts feed... I don't think anyone goes out of their way to post in a different region.

Case in point, me.

Thanks for the comments on the VRD guys!
krazyscion, are those VRD's available in a blue or white light? I saw that in your profile, you list them as yellow but the pictures looked blue. Thanks though for the help!
