Toyota Euro Style Tail Lights

Here is a shot of the Longo lights lit up.
These are the way to go. They are super bright and really set you apart from the rest, as you can see there is a LED light bar that also lights up. They come in smoke and black. The ones on my car are the black ones, I have had the prototypes for almost a year now and had no issues with them.
BTW: In the picture the lights are just on, meaning the brakes are not being press to make them brighter.

These really are not the same as the LONGO light. I had ANZO Lights prior to these. Just a couple difference that I would like to point out.
The Longo lights have completely smooth outside and don't have a step design.
The Longo lights are entirely lit up. The ANZO / Eagle Eyes unfortunately dont fully light up.
i.e. the bottom half stay's lit while you have your lights on. Once you press on the brakes the top half then lights up.
With the Longo lights, all the LED's are lit, once you press on the brakes the LED's bulbs get even brighter with the exception of the LED light bars.
Hope that makes sense.

Now that the TYC tail lights have supposedly been updated and the reliability problem fixed, I may have to re-consider them as an affordable alternative to the Longos.

It's obviously a marketing buzzword that's supposed to convince you to buy this product of uncompromized quality to prove you have class and style. Be sure to get your "eurostyle" tail lights for your "JDM" style car. Makes no sense at all, but the more buzzwords you put in your eBay listing, the more search hits you'll get. I suspect that's the real motivation.

Thanks for clarifying the differences. I was wondering why they cost more than the similar looking tail lights on eBay. At $279.00 I was considering them. I see they have now raised their price to $349.00. So, that puts them, out of the running for me. That's just too much money for tail lights when other alternatives are in the $200 - $235 range.

Yup, me too. After reading Digon's explanation of the differences between the Longo tail ligts and the similar looking ones on eBay, I figured it might be worth the extra $75 to spring for the Longos. Then I went to eBay and saw their new $349.00 price. No thanks. They're not that much better than the alternatives.

As far as the price being updated, I can still get the Longos for $261.70 shipped. Are you all on the right site??

Thought I'd add the link to the ScionLife discount, btw.
You're welcome.

Anybody have some photos of the TYC/Euro Style tail lights on an RS6.0?
I'm trying to decide between these and the Longo tail lights and would like to see how they'd look before committing to a purchase.
Thanks,

To ocotillo- I've been running the TYC taillights now for almost two years with no problems; definitely alot better than the stock. As a heads up, I also changed the turn signal bulb to an led (V-leds) and looks that much better. Keep checking ebay as I got my pair for $184 with shipping. The Longo ones look nice but I have to say pics ared definitely different than seeing in person- the TYC's were/are alot more impressive looking than the pic on TRDSparks.

The TYC lights have been disabled on TRDSparks. Site says TBD for price. I emailed them and they stated that have put sales on hold as durability issues are still ongoing. Don't take my word for it. Contact them.
I am very interested in getting some LED tail lights for my XB but so far I have not found any brand that I am confident will last.
I have contacted Longo regarding the warranty for their tail lights but have received no response. It recall reading somewhere that their warranty was for 3 years. I hope this is true and it is in writing. Otherwise, no sale.

The Longo tail lights have more of a VIP look. It looks good on VIP style cars, especially black, white and silver. The VIP look doesn't go with the rest of my car, and I haven't seen any photos of the Longo tail lights on an RS6.0.
So, I may be sticking with the stock tail lights for now.
