I tried ordering JJR LED tail lights for my 34 a couple of days ago from just jap, turns out they are a discontinued line and I can't get them anymore.

I asked the sales person if he knew of another manufacturer that made good quality lights and he said that they aren't worth spending the money on cause they are crap. .

Does anyone know of another decent brand or place I could get them from?

I know each is to his own - but damn, I couldn't help but post this - for the love of God, why would you want LED tail lights they look like a donkey's arse - only the stock ones look tough as is... I have never seens good looking LED tail lights and never will!!

I wondered to myself as to whether or not it was an 'age thing' (- me being an ol' fart); or a 'fashion' thing.

My '99 version has been maintained with the original 'stove oven' look, and that's been my preference.

I'm considering a LED conversion as well but would only get it if the results are similar to the R35 tail lights. The ebay/after market ones look crap IMO. Don't like the clear plastic showing the LED and then the clear mirror reflector indicator. Faded LED dots with the original yellow indicator is bomb.

They suit some cars and not others, I bought JJR ones for my 33, my originals were leaking and I thought I'd see how LED's went. Pretty happy with how they look, they look really good during the day.

Another reason I went with them is I'm pretty close to having LED's (or HID's) everywhere in my car

OP: I'm 99% sure the ones Just Jap sell are the same as the MARS performance ones on ebay

I only really thought they would suit the 34 properly, more of a modern looking car IMO.

Yeah I think I'll end up getting the ones from Mars on eBay, the rest seem too look not as good quality and qest are way too overpriced I think.

If you agree with each to his own then this post was pointless,

Nismo didn't make LED tail lights because the look like "a donkey's arse"

Again each to his own,

OP the Qest lights are a good choice if you don't want to spend the big bucks on the Nismo ones but they are still fairly exxy.

EDIT: you've clearly already figured this out, not a fan of the mars/east bear style ones myself, but see how you go.

I'd go with the Qest if I had the $1000 bucks haha but sadly I don't have that kind of money for tail lights, I'll think about it for a while more on which ones I'll get. I don't mind the look of the Mars ones but are they good quality? I don't wanna buy something that's going to leak or short out on me..

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
