    Sorry, I goofed. For some reason I thought this was the headlight thread. Doh. The tail lights will be permanently sealed shut unlike the headlights. Visual inspection is about all you can do then I'd would go through the warranty process.

    Thank you for posting this. It’s good to know someone in the taco world talking about aftermarket mods. I purchased these taillights recently and learned after talking with your colleague Nick that one of the lights did not fit correctly because of a misproduction from this product. So he suggested I do the other side to see if that one doesn’t or does fit as well. I was able to fit it but I had no signals or brake light. I took out the light and then put in the factory one, figuring that I would get a new set that did not have any issues. After putting in the factory ones, I saw the bulb blew so then I swapped the signal lights from the brake light to go to and from work. Just this morning, I confirmed the suspicion that I was having and that was having shorted out the entire light when it’s night outside. All I have now is nothing in the back alerting drivers behind me of my presence in front of them. Should I wait for the new set or would I have the same experience? I was also thinking of taking it to Toyota and having them do some wiring work. I would do it, unless it’s absolutely simple to do. Wiring is just one of those things, or should I just get a pair of the pro lights and keep that area stock....any advice is much appreciated. Thanks Jeff and Tacomaworld.

    I saw these in person for the first time yesterday driving in front of me on a nice looking white Off Road in Sammamish WA.... had dealer plates interestingly.

    Anyway.... they look pretty cool, but half of the right light was out.

    The quality control on this product is terrible. At one point I was interested, now, not so much.

    So strange. I've had these for a couple months with no issues whatsoever, no lights on the dash, all my lights are working and everything seems to be fine so far

    You need one that says IMOUTOFCONTROL.
