Modern Black Chrome Styling

These DEPO tail lights replace the factory red housings with a far more aggressive appearance.

Highlights include:

• Black chrome inner housing
• Factory-molded smoked lens
• Modern LED light bar
• OEM-plus appearance
• Premium finish

Unlike painted or tinted lenses, the smoke finish is molded into the lens itself, helping resist fading and peeling over time.

Full LED Lighting

Unlike factory tail lights that rely on incandescent bulbs, these assemblies feature integrated LEDs throughout.

Lighting functions include:

• Red LED light bar for parking lights
• Red LEDs for brake lights
• Sequential amber LEDs for turn signals
• White LEDs for reverse lights

This produces faster illumination, improved visibility, and a cleaner appearance.

Sequential Turn Signals

One of the standout features is the integrated sequential turn signal.

Benefits include:

• Modern animated signaling
• Improved visibility
• Premium appearance
• OEM-inspired sequential effect
• Distinctive rear lighting signature

Sequential turn signals have become increasingly popular on modern performance vehicles and add a contemporary touch to the S2000.

OEM-Quality Construction

Manufactured by DEPO, these tail lights are built to high quality standards.

Construction features include:

• Automotive-grade ABS housing
• UV-resistant polycarbonate lenses
• Weather-resistant sealing
• High-output SMD LEDs
• Precision-molded mounting points

DEPO products are widely recognized for their OEM-style fitment and long-term durability.

Plug-and-Play Installation

Installation is straightforward and requires no wiring modifications.

Typical installation steps:

1. Remove the factory tail lights.
2. Disconnect the factory wiring.
3. Install the DEPO assemblies.
4. Connect the OEM connectors.
5. Test all lighting functions.

No cutting, splicing, resistors, or additional wiring is normally required.
