Default Smoked Anzos vs smoked oem tails?

I am looking to spend a little on my xb, getting the oem wing, roof rack with storage container and upgraded tails.

I am an led fan, but read about leds dying in the anzos. I do notice as a feature they say the leds can be replaced, but arent leds 100,000 hours strong before failure?

Otherwise its just sanding and painting the tails?

I didn't wanna spend the extra loot on LEDs. I smoked my OEM lights and everyone loves them. I'll post pics tonight..I'm at work right now.

My only question is what do yo do if you smoke out your stock tails and then get pulled over and get an inspection ticket???? This is the only reason I have not done mine yet.

Thanks for posting photos.

According to va code the stops must be visible 500ft away, tails 300 ft away and the reflectors must be seeable. They can not be too dim or too dazzling.
