i wish that depo would come up with something more original than knocking off lambo lights. when as much resources they have to make whatever they want, make an original simple and clean design.

tails look way too busy. like alien spaceship lights

if you look at the lambo posted above the lights flow with the rear bumper, fenders, and trunk line. looks good... just not on an fd

I thought i was the only one that hated the rocket bunny kit. The front is especially ugly and that spoiler looks like a painted wooden plank!

Where can we find these tail lights? Ebay search shows old style depo lights only or I am using the wrong keywords.

Do you mean Feb 2015? I don't understand what you mean by Facebook post suggest. Do you have a link?

Are the ones on the red car pre-production model?

If the black plastic in them was less in your face then I would like them. Maybe they just need to be a little tinted to make it blend better.

Rocket bunny has been great on every single car EXCEPT the FD. The FD Rocket Bunny kit is absolutely hideous.
These taillights are awesome tho!! It's 2014 people. Every other car in the world has moved into LED lights. For those people like myself who want to try new things with the RX7 and have an updated look, this is perfect. The lines are a little weird on the tails, but the LEDs and especially the 3rd brake light!! On point. Second best new lights I've seen, right after the carshop glow lights.

Not talking about this specific RX7 and regardless of make and model, owners will end up with a piece of junk in their hands once this Liberty Walk and Rocket Bunny hype wears off.

One nice tunnel shot of the brown RX7 and Car Shop Glow taillights became the news. The leds on them don't even look in line/alligned.

Sakebomb diffused taillights (if brightness of the first batch wasn't an issue), OEM 99 and OEM 93 are the best taillights imo. The jury is still out on these new Depo lights and we need more pics but they look promising.

My 0.02c and a little off topic

IMO these tail lights look good with the theme of his car but if you stick those on a stockish FD it would look horrible.

I agree with fendamonky and Fritz Flynn that the 99 spec are the best out there. They look good with any setup you have on your FD.
