Default K2 motor tails

I apologize if someone had discussed this before - I did a search but could not find anything. Someone please direct me if I missed this but..

Does anyone know anything about these tails?

http://www.k2motor.com/lttc04jmled.html

Or K2 motors in general? I really like the look of them and the price is more than reasonable. Has anyone had any experience with this company or these tails? I like the TYC tails of course but they are almost twice as much as these and I do think the ones I linked look nice also.

Any thoughts? Thanks guys (and gals!)

You get what you pay for... if you get those, just don't be shocked when the LEDs all burn out after a couple weeks.

And/or they fog up.

It's your money.

And there are better options out there. TYCs as you mentioned, Anzos, stock tails.

Are you guys hypothesizing or do you actually have experience with these? I could always just save up for TYC tails if these really arent quality

I've got them. got them from the same place too. have had them for 2 years and not one problem. still as good as new. bout to upgrade to 08's though. just be prepared, you will get bashed for even looking at these tails. ive got a pic of them on my car in my profile if you are interested.

Thanks. Glad to hear you haven't had any problems with them. Why am I getting bashed? Not sure of the problem here.. I see Viniati.com sells the same lights for 40 dollars more, but same lights. if I had started by asking about them from that site would I be flamed less? Do you like the way they look on ur ride?

I wasnt saying anyone in hear has, but be prepared, it will eventually...happened to me many times. i was just warning you. Yeah i like them on my ride, could honestly care less what people think about them. was just warning you in case it bugged you. I personally had a great experience with K2motoring. they shipped really quick. it only took like 3-4 days to get them.

Rick on PNW has them, I believe his SN is Rsmith. Actually his might be a little different but they looks pretty much the same. Shoot him a PM and he can tell you about them.

Thanks, I want to gain as much input into these before I make a decision. Dumb question maybe - what is PNW? Thanks!
