AAC/Oracle broken tabs on side markers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has AAC/Oracle address the problem with broken tabs on there side marker lights yet. I like the style of their led lights but I'm not thrilled about buying something I know will break.

Go with showstoppers. I had AAC sidemarkers never removed them but the tab still broke on 1 of them.

^^^

Those with AAC are using double sided tape to hold them in, or so I've heard. Those of us with showstoppers have 0 issues

I have never had any issues with my ACC side markers, it's been almost three years..

Had showstoppers side markers and they also break just like the ACC and had several issues with LED's not working you can see I had mine since 2011/12 with a replacement. I believe its normal and what you need to look into is whom provides better customer service.

I've sent my ACC sidemarkers back 3 times & they replaced them for free (minus my shipping)...first was water infiltration issue...secod was water infiltration & broken tabs & the 3rd was for broken tabs...it's a pain to send them back, but they will fix them...this set I just used doublesided tape to be safe

Could just depend on the condition of the lights. Showstopper uses OE parts while AAC/Oracle is making their own, hence the reason for the core on showstoppers. I like my OE quality

I haven't had any issues with my oracle AAC sidemarkers, but then again, the ones I ordered were purportedly version 2.0, with the difference being a more stout tab design.
