If you seal them correctly they will not leak. I would either go with black tails or stock.

Why dont you just tint or black out you tailights if you're going for that look. The reason why people dont like aftermarket tailights is because they dont really look that good, and because they dont fit into the sockets that well and leave gaps. But it depends on which ones you get, some fit really well, just like stock. The leaks are no problems because you could just seal them before you install. Some people dont seal them, which in the end, taking the lens off, cleaning, then sealing them doesnt really justify it.

look for something called VHT nightshade. you can get it from summit racing, or nopi i think......... its like spray paint but not exactly the same. There is a little prep work to make it look badass but not hard. Mostly just cleaning and sanding. After you find the level of darkness you like just clear coat that baby and your ballin.

I had APC's on my accord and i had them on there for about 2 years. Thats including the tornado time. They never cracked or leaked. So i can say they were worth buying. I know TYC is also a really good brand.
