    How are those Venom taillights? Any condensation buildup? How is the quake?

    They are starting to fail little by little. The round LEDs are burning out. I'm waiting for.more than half to go out. No water build up at all with playing in numerous rivers. They will not sell singles so you have to buy a pair another reason I'm waiting for more of the LEDs go out. May go back to stock tail lights though

    So a little update, the Venom Taillights have been replaced. I got down to 4 very dim LEDs still left on the DS. The PS was fine, neither had any condensation issues or anything else besides the Round LEDS burning out on the DS. They wont sell them single and I didn't want another pair to go bad that soon. TYC is an OEM for toyota now apparently. I bought the CAPA cert NON LED ones off of Rock Auto for $63 each. Now I don't have to worry about cheap LEDs burning out in a couple years with any other cheap Chinese replacements.
