So What the u know what ! for 400 they cant the get these lights to seal like the factory ones. I know they should replace it but it took 5 months to get now I have to remove it again and send it back . Just venting I guess but who elses had this happen? And how are these holding up for people?

mine are completely ****ed and the water that got in the taillight during the storm messed my stock turn signal wire up so now my stock ones dont work either..

I ordered mine through JC Whitney 6 weeks ago and JC Whitney just pulled the plug on them. The email from JC Whitney said "ORDER CANCELLED-PRODUCT NOT AVAILABLE". I lost no money but I am not too happy about starting over with the wait! Darn it! Competition is out there to build these.

Same issues here with moisture and LED's not working.
I have been in Contact with Todd since May and have yet to get my replacement lamps sent out.
I have not had a returned email since the beginning of June!
Anyonre else have that issue?

millville resident · 08-14-2011, 01:03 PM

This seems kinda strange.
Last night I posted in the original thread titled "The LED tail lights that everyone is waiting for" regarding my Issues and now I can't seem to find that thread. It's not in my stats page as a posted item nor can I find it in any forum.
When I do a google search with that thread title, it does have a link but when you click on the link, the thread comes up as "Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
Maybe I can't use the search function properly. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks so much.
PS. Don't get me wrong here but I love these tail lights, I just want them to work as designed and would like to get the replacements put in. That's all I am after.

millville resident · 08-16-2011, 03:28 PM

Heads up. Todd just emailed me to let me know that my replacement lights should be shipped out this week. I will keep you updated as to how they work when the get installed.

hansenp · 08-16-2011, 08:00 PM

Lol I have been waiting since june also I spoke with him friday and he told me the same thing I will believe it when they show up in my door step until then its just another bs timeline

I went over there today and they said that your replacement would ship tomorrow.

Thanks,
Brad

This is my reply:

Brad,

Thanks! How about also sending me a right outside since it now has the same problem! Or just send me a whole new set with the upgraded seal so I don't have to keep bugging you anymore about the issue!

Thanks,
Dave

Me too! Pissed me off when I found the right one leaking. When will the insides leak? Who knows but most likely after warranty with my luck. A member of my club just installed these last week and added his own bead of silicone prior to install to hopefully not have this problem. Had I known about this issue I would have done the same thing!
