ok update on messed up taillight. My tail light reached technostalgia. They said "one of the electronics in the tail lamp was loose. This caused the issue." They fixed it and were going to send it out. But I called and made sure they addressed the water in the tail lamp. They said that they did not and will check test it for that as well. All in all great customer service just alittle confused on how the electronics got loose. Will call tomorrow and follow up with that and the water issue.

Got mine the other day. My co-worker, camaro104 put them in for me, and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you it was less than two hours. They worked perfectly. I got home, and drove down the shore. When I arrived there I wanted to show them off but low and behold, three led's in the afterburner part were out. Boy, that was quick. The functionally is dead on and they really are cool, but unfortunately, three lights which are all next to each other go on and off. But mostly off. By the way, he resealed all of the lights and knock on wood, no leaks and there has been some serious rain lately. That's definitely something I would recommend to everyone. I'm just waiting for a call to see how fast I will be getting my replacement light. It happens to be the outer driver side light. Oh well. I guess I'm not a member of the no problems crowd.

I've had mine a couple of weeks now, just haven't gotten around to installing them.

Sounds like I need a tube of silicone.

Update called technostalgia they said they fixed the leak in my tail lamp they said it was a leak in the gasket. I was like wtf does that mean. He said they fixed it and are sending it out. They confuse the hell out of me when they talk.

I just got mine last week and installed them. I double checked the sealant and it looks like they have listened to everyone. There was more than enough silicone and no breaks in it as I have seen in some threads who have water in theirs. The install was pretty easy, JUST MAKE SURE THE GREEN WIRE IS CLOSEST TO THE RAMP!! Haha I messed up 2 and it took me awhile to switch them because I didnt want to pull them back out.
