I'm surprised the V2 looks nice. I agree, V1 individual LEDs make them look cheaply made. As for the V2, yes they should have made the Reverse strip all the way. Bizarre that they only used half of it. I like the Sequential on the V2 as well. Thanks for sharing the build again. I like the new tail lights. Clean and close to OEM look. I'm always about OEM fitment and aesthetics. Always a plus in my book when a company can produce that.
Lapis WRX owner here, I love what you've done with your car. Those V2's look way better. I just picked up the Phantom Series Gen2 by Molded Innovations which I'm really enjoying. I'm a bit north of you in NH. who knows maybe I'll see your car on the road sometime.
Thanks! You guys should make a tr style without the individual LED’s. Make the c light the running and brake light and turn signal. Could do something cool with the reverse as well. I think they would sell like crazy if you do!
I second his response here, I’m in the market to buy a pair for my 2021 STI but every single one out there feels like it’s missing something. His combo stated here would be a for sure seller and I’d purchase immediately.
If you want to change out the taillights later on, you should do the custom illumastetic taillights. Granted you have to design how you would want the tail lights yourself but it would be a good diy video.
I love the new tail lights! I was thinking about getting these but with the ones with the tinted look. I do agree the reverse light should light up across the whole section because it does look off without it.
definitely an upgrade over the old style, is there a reason you went with clear instead of smoke lens? honestly i hoped you were getting the vland/olm ones instead but everyone voted these on your insta 8(. i'm still no the fence of which to get the v2 or olm/vland. i really thought your vid would help me decide as i was sliding more towards the vland/olm, but i'm more torn now.
I wish the Focus Face life models had a good variety of aftermarket tail lights, I think we have 2 options. Lol I like those Evo tail lights for your subi.
hi...nice video as always! I wanted to ask you something very important...when you put the direction indicator on is the light orange/yellow or just red?
@@Autofreakgarage It's a real shame that I can't choose with the V2s whether to have red or amber lights for the direction indicators :( I don't mind the all red tail lights but with the V1s you can see all the LEDs unlike the V2s
Chris, up until you sold them, did you have any issues with condensation or any LED’s burn out? Looking to pick the same pair and wanted your experience with them before I pull the trigger!
@@Autofreakgarage Same. I had a slight defect in mine. Tried to RMA and replace, but told me they dont produce them anymore which was a shame. Its not too bad, ended up giving me $100 Refund and keep the Tails. I love these ones though. If they go bad, i may get the smoked versions.
The V2's are SO much nicer and cleaner. Love it
Thank you! I have to agree. It’s my favorite tail so far.
The way the cold start shook the camera 🤤. Very clean!! I love sequential lights as well

was trying to stop spending on my car after i spent 3k in one day in mods and tune AND NOW I WATCH THIS VIDEO AND IM HOLDING BACK 😵💫😵💫
Awesome video and rundown of both lights! 🙏

Love the new lights. Sounds like you have some money in lighting.
Lighting mods are some of my favorite things to do.

finally, I was wonder when you will pull the trigger on them...
Great vid ...very detailed and informative. Keep up the good work, you definitely deserve more subs.

I don’t like the look of smoked tails. It hides all the details. This is a very nice OEM looking option.

Makes the rear end so much nicerrr!
Clean Lights!! Are you giving away the old ones???
Thanks! Someone actually bought them.
I generally don't like aftermarket tail lights... but these look nice.
Nice really compliments the car. R u thinking of parting ways with the v1 because is so i am interested in buying them.
I agree! They work well with the car. Sorry man, they are already sold.
I have the carbon version of the ones you replace in this video and they can't be beat imo haha.
I should have bought these when I had the chance!! Dang it!
Great vid!
hi...nice video as always! I wanted to ask you something very important...when you put the direction indicator on is the light orange/yellow or just red?
Red
Uff.....so in Europe i can't use :( .....only V1 has direction indicator i see
@chryelab yes the v1’s are amber
@@Autofreakgarage It's a real shame that I can't choose with the V2s whether to have red or amber lights for the direction indicators :( I don't mind the all red tail lights but with the V1s you can see all the LEDs unlike the V2s
Any pics of the rear at night time?
Really digging these taillights 😍 might just do it to my pockets
The end of the video
Chris, up until you sold them, did you have any issues with condensation or any LED’s burn out? Looking to pick the same pair and wanted your experience with them before I pull the trigger!
Never. These were solid during my entire ownership. Never experienced anything of that nature in any of the aftermarket options I tried.
Hopefully this four version is the charm?
Chris did you sell the other ones? Those V2's look super nice.
Yes they are sold
@@Autofreakgarage thanks for the reply. I gotta keep an eye out so when get rid of stuff, I can snag some of it. 👍👍
V2 has a Mercedes Benz vibe to me.
Wow, huge improvement.
Do you get any condensation in the tail lights, and if so how were you able to fix that issue?
No issues at all in my v2’s.
Look good … Are you going to be selling the other ones
Thanks! They are already sold.
Cool
I thought these were discontinued..?
Still available from other sources!
Damn they dont make these anymore 😭
I know such a shame they stopped making this version. Personally, I think it’s the best one they had.
really really nice, really really nice, really really nice 🤣. 👏 good job! like always!!!
Those are so nice and clean
It does look like German. It reminds me of 2013 C-class.
I was totally content with my stock tail lights until I watched this video…must resist…
Haha sorry brother!
I wonder how it looks when you step on brake while on turn signal either way
They just get get brighter
I’m torn between these and the evolution tail lights
I had the evos for a short while. They look good, but the car looked better with the full c light in my opinion.
Those clear lens or smoked? Asking because Subispeed discontinued the Clear Lens versions.
Clear

I WANT THESE NOW!
Looks really good 👊🏼
What made you chose the V2's over the "JDM Style" ones?
I prefer the c light running light look over the jdm style ones. The jdm style has an “e” look that I wasn’t crazy about.
I like the new ones 👍🏻👍🏻
May I ask where you got those black and white vinyl Subaru emblem covers?
I got the exterior ones from smyperfomance
@@Autofreakgarage Awesome Thank You Waiting for my delivery for my 2021 wrx.
Wonder how the v2s would look on a pure red sti? 🤔
I would assume very good! The red bars on these aftermarket tails always look great on red.
Oh heck yeah!!! Those are nice!!!
Yea you sold me on the V2 from your previous ones
I notice u have bbv on ur list I'm in jersey too but I was wondering how does it sound and is it good
Bbv?
@@Autofreakgarage I meant bov

installing these taillights void your warranty?
No they will not
@@Autofreakgarage thank you
Where can I purchase these? Went on Subispeed and they only have the JDM style ones.
Check out the mod garage
@@Autofreakgarage I checked and they didn’t have them either. These taillights look so clean on your STI 🔥
Which ones are these looking for them on subispeed
These are the v2’s. They actually don’t sell them anymore. They just sell the “jdm style” ones now.
@@Autofreakgarage 😭😭😭😭😭
Are planning to sell the v1s? Please let me know
They were sold prior to this video.
@@Autofreakgarage 😐😐
How much for the furniture on the curb??
Lol free. Bulk pick up day for my neighbor.
Car's looking good brother! I just got an iag aos and perrin charge pipe to install soon on my 21'.
I have a problem with mine the middle white line shines red and stays on when I drive
You had the jdm style ones. They no longer make the ones I have.
@@Autofreakgarage thanks for the reply I had no idea they were different is there any way I can make them like yours ??? Thanks again
There isn’t a way to change them as they are a different tail.
Version 2 is way nicer. Im still waiting for your engine mods...lol
Tight
Sell me the ones you took off 🤝
They are already sold and on another car.
