    I have the red led tails on mine. They look like a factory brake light.

    I replaced mine with the red led's. They look and work great. If you want to use oem, I would suggest taking about an hour to silicone the gap between the lense and housing. I did it to my led's. I also punched out rubber seals for the nuts that hold them in. This will keep water out of your trunk. Drilling an 1/8 hole in the bottom of the housing will let water out of oem''s also.
