    Buyer beware. http://www.protuninglab.com/lt-tac06jm-tm.html

    Loading up a cord of fire wood and broke the left tail light. The '08 tail light had that pink tint to it so replacing the pair was not a hard decision. Finding a replacement was not hard, but deciding on the style was harder as there are lots of choices and I failed to make a good one.

    Protuninglab had some nice looking lights so card in hand I ordered the set number 69626. They arrived on time and were easy to install.

    Yes they work and I like the style, BUT the material is thinner than factory. The wiring harness does not have a place to hook on the light housing like the factory light does which allows the harness to swing around behind the fender and the light. The backup light socket is loose and allows the light holder to twist without resistance in the socket. This loose fit will probably allow water into the lenses. They are in place and I will run them until another loading disaster. Then I start the search on TW for lights with good reviews.
