Okay, so after reading nearly all of the old posts on the subject, I'm hoping for a definitive answer when it comes to the hierarchy of tail lights. Understandably NOS/OEM would be preferable. But assuming that isn't an option (for a variety of reasons) what is the next best thing?

If I'm going to go aftermarket, is URO better than APA? APA better than URO? I see IPD sells APA tail lights for a hundred a piece, but are they much better than the estonian 55.00 special? Could someone reasonably buy the estonian lights and replace the aftermarket circuit board with the factory board and bulb holders to avoid the melting problem? Would some pre-emptive silicone prevent water leakage?

I realize that there are times to save money, and there are times to spend. I'm just trying to figure out which time this is and still be able to pay for tuition.

As always, thanks for the input!
