The Evo X Gets Some Rare Taillights

Hey guys so today I'm installing a very rare set of Depo LED tail lights onto Letisha's Evo X MR.
once she found out these Smoked with red se tioms was an option she was very keen to hunt a set down which she was very lucky to find in Japan.

your channel is what pushed me to buy my dream car... thank you for doing u n teaching me what i need to know ab the car, i just recently came home with my evo and i can't wait to start modding it out

[@JacksonStrain]

Hell yeah that's awesome, congrats on picking up your dream car

[@4b11thatch]

Man.......these look absolutely CLEAN! Continuing to be such a clean build 👍

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks they were really did make a big difference we think

[@arashievo]

i'm going back and forth between a 2012 MR or a 2011 GSR. the GSR prices here in switzerland are just insane right now. most decent condition stock GSRs go for 36k+ while the SST ones go for under 26k. i love manuals because i always had subies previously. my daily is a 2023 VW Tiguan R and if the SST shifts feel anything like the VW dual clutch, it's going to be the better choice for our mountain roads. thanks for all your great videos, they have me more on the MR side 😅

[@JacksonStrain]

The VW dsg is a fair but newer tech but ultimately they still feel similar. The SST once flashed is great though

[@LuisGonzalez-qv7xz]

Beautiful Evo X So clean!!

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks

[@joeschmoe5009]

Simple yes perfect upgrade!

[@JacksonStrain]

I think so too!

[@fps-gs3hz]

Those suit the car perfectly 👌🏼

[@JacksonStrain]

Like they were made for it

[@butcht6309]

Lovely!

[@JacksonStrain]

So nice right

[@Hasinsamuray]

You have archaic JDM style oem looking headlights now. Just ordered, they came looking insane.

[@tomaszpiotrowski2532]

Brawo mistrzu, autko marzenie 😃👍👍👍

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks

[@moistkookie7416]

Those are hard af! 👌

[@JacksonStrain]

Highly agreed

[@robp4317]

these look incredible with the red (I have orient red too) but I don't suppose I'll find the lights over here in the U.K 🤔 Great upload as always.

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks Rob, you'd have to do what we did and find some in Japan at an auction site

[@nimbleryan735]

I definitely know the grind of finding a set of tail lights that haven't had that corner broken off 😅 With the Lancer i had the original red lens tail lights and spent ages trying to find clear lens lights that weren't damaged or over priced. Now it's trying to find Depo smoked lights with the clear indicator for the Ralliart 😂

[@JacksonStrain]

Yeah so many are cracked in the corner unfortunately 😐 Good luck on your search for a set as they do pop up if you keep looking

[@watchingvideos4498]

Those are fire

[@JacksonStrain]

Sp good right

[@shanedawes]

Man this is almost perfect OEM + build

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks so much that's definitely the aim for this car

[@DaveBudness]

The red EVO looks nice, I enjoy my white with the black tails and such, but red looks really nice. I'm a fan of silver, and the blue as well. Black not so much as in the EVO

[@JacksonStrain]

All the colours have their pros and cons for sure, the black is my favourite though

[@DaveBudness]

@@JacksonStrain oh, I didn’t know they had some cons minus white and black show dirt and such. But, I’d like to get a red

[@beefy4207]

Looks so good! Are those headlights oem?

[@JacksonStrain]

Thanks, yes they are just obviously been modified by having the internals black abs the red demon eyes

[@fil23ralliart]

yep, watch those corners!

[@JacksonStrain]

So many people break them it's crazy

[@fil23ralliart]

@@JacksonStrain yeah I was mentioning that for a ....friend... :)

[@aa-ron5604]

Besides custom, what’s a good ECU tuner for the Evo X’s?

[@JacksonStrain]

I wouldn't recommend anything other than a custom tune from a reputable tuner.

[@bagerklestyne]

Would definitely like to acquire a set of them (any hints on where to look - the ebay link above doesn't work)

[@JacksonStrain]

You'd have to just keep an eye on Japanese auction websites like yahoo auctions and on croober

[@user-em2ye5bk4i]

Is there a non smoked version of the red leds?

[@JacksonStrain]

I don't think there is, only clear with clear

[@lil-hawk3]

how much did you pay for them? I’m tryna look for the same thing

[@JacksonStrain]

They can be very expensive and sometimes over $1,000 aud

[@larryescobar7640]

Another great vid mate. Any pictures of them at night? Gonna check your insta

[@JacksonStrain]

No haven't got any night pics yet but Letisha will have some on her IG soon I'm sure

[@ThePASBERUK]

I wanna know the price but im too afraid to know

[@JacksonStrain]

Hahaha way too much

[@aldopinno7308]

Hi , Can you plz let me know, When is the next car meet ?

[@JacksonStrain]

No plans for a meet for a while taking a break from hosting and just going to random ones

[@kylepalmer2360]

Yo, you think you’d ever do the syvecs ecu?

[@JacksonStrain]

If I ever go built engine I'd likely go aftermarket ECU but unfortunately my tuner AK Racing doesn't do Syvecs

[@kylepalmer2360]

@@JacksonStrain alright, just wondering. Heard it’s good with the SST

[@JacksonStrain]

Yeah I've seen great results with them online

[@jasonsmith914]

Really, I swear I have seen AK have the syvecs ecu advertised on there website before.

[@nimbleryan735]

​@@jasonsmith914i think they advertise the Motec ECU on their website off memory. Though i definitely know RPMotorsports uses Syvecs ECU

[@GlenAnderson71]

like finding a needle in a haystack !!

[@JacksonStrain]

Yep pretty much haha

[@hamtaro3378]

Where can i buy those tail lights

[@JacksonStrain]

Keep an eye on Japanese auction sites and you might get lucky and find a set

[@jomari369]

That's really nice. I want one!
