eBay Aftermarket LED Rear Lights by Mfr. Depo - Any Experiences ?

eBay Aftermarket LED Rear Lights by Mfr. Depo - Any Experiences ?
Has anyone tried these lights?
If so, how is the function. I heard they do not allow the function of the parking or side lights or side marker lights. I'm just trying to get an understanding on how the lights actually function compared to the factory rear lights. Is there anything lacking by comparison?

For what car? I bought a pair of smoke/red LEDs for my '99 Boxster about two years ago from eBay. Don't remember if they were from that distributor but they have worked fine and still look great. Some people have complained about fitment but mine are not that much different than stock as far as fitment. The LED's are a lot brighter than OEM bulbs but you do have to be aware that the resistance is lowered when you add LEDs and when I tried to add a smoke LED third brake light the cruise control would no longer work because the tail lights, third brake light and CC are tied together in the fuse panel. I reinstalled the OEM tail light and everything works fine. I could have installed a resistor in the wiring of the third light but opted to not mess around with changing too many electrical components as Porsche electronics are picky.
