    Yep, I double-checked everything in the back and the wire grommets are seated fine/in place, so it seems to be a leak in the seal maybe towards that bottom corner. I sent the photos to Austin and he is working on getting a replacement set out to me (I already shipped back the defective ones with the prepaid label he provided yesterday).

    Got mine installed today. Clears on army green.

    No broken tabs, no condensation — everything looks great!

    Here’s a few more day shots. Can’t keep my eyes off the rear every time I step outside :alien:768E36C5-6692-4558-BC8D-2AEFC2993EF6.jpg 76435D8B-C5AB-4B33-92DF-C70EA4225199.jpg

    Going to try and return mine for a new set. Mine came chipped around the edges a bit and I can’t seem to be comfortable spending this much for blemished lights. Hate to be that guy but it just doesn’t look super clean. Support ticket sent

    Got mine after work and installed them immediately. They honestly look a lot better in person.

    Here is how they look next to my OG Ultimate Tail Lights.

    I too also had a broken tab on the thing that holds the OEM harness on the passenger side. Not bothered by it.

    But honestly do not know how it got damaged during shipping, especially with how the lights are suspended in the box. The wrapping was crazy tight on mine, so idk if that played a role.

    I believe they all have that in one spot on each light. Seems like it’s from the sealing process.

    I fixed the tab with some loctite and looks good as new :rofl:

    I am actually using it on the driver side, it helps in keeping the wires from moving and dangling around. Not an issue on the passenger side, but it does squeak a little when I press on the assembly.

    I think they all have this in the same area. I guess some look worse than others. I noticed it on my set too, but its minimal . Only noticeable when you really look for it closely. Overall, I still love these lights :cool:

    Mine are like that from the back side of the edge, is yours on the front? If it's soley on the back edge, I wonder if it's normal as my replacement was the same? First set arrived to me with some protective liner on the inside and it look like a crack in the distance.

    There’s a little chipping on the edges too. This was directly behind the car

    Mine arrived yesterday (thank you travis@meso). One had the broken tab for the wiring (not an issue for install or operation. Installed in a flash!

    I love these things. I thought the LEDs would be more diffuse and give a ‘glow’. But you see the individual LEDs fairly clear. I love the fact they are so much brighter than the oem units.

    I have the relay and wiring that defeats the license plate lights when in reverse. No issues with dropping these in there with that. Alll the room and more.

    I bought the clears and I am so glad I did. I’ll prob remove them and clean up the wiring with a few zip ties just so they aren’t flopping around in there.

    Thank you @MESO these things rock. Now I only need the puddle pods and I will be complete!

    Unused. Comes plugged into itself for sequential, otherwise unplug and replace the oval plug for a traditional blinker and the other is then left unplugged
