    Chrome don't get you home
    Re seal with epoxy, I added black pigment to 2 part epoxy, make sure you tape off everything that you don't want epoxy on.

    I like the look of these, however unlike the rest of you I want clear tail lights, not black. That is, I only want the chrome, no stupid reflectors. These tail lights are way nicer looking than the ones with the stupid flower pattern. Does anyone have pics of all clear tails?

    I have the K2Motor brand on my 2013. Fits perfect, bright leds, and no leaks. They've seen north easter rain, snow and hail. I did throw an extra seal of epoxy on just in case, but I have had no problem with them at all.

    I found these in a box by my front door when I got home. Hooray !!! :yay:
    These Depo lights appear to be high quality and are constructed very well.

    I never really liked the chrome around the LEDs and I eventually grew to hate it. Chrome on tail lights is SO ghey. :rolleyes:

    BHLM is next...
