Mine has been working well since day one. No issues, leaks, or any other defects at all.
They look fantastic, great mod. I have a 2011 so mine are red already and wouldn’t benefit that much from the swap. I would however love for one of these companies to offer aftermarket headlight assemblies for 2010-13 something simple like adding led DLR’s similar to 2014+. I’m sure there would be a market for that.

Came across this tail lamps on EBay, not too many Aftermarket LED tail light options available online, just gauging thoughts on these tail lamps or to see if anyone has made a switch to non oem tail lamps. It’s either this or buying the error free LED bulbs
Just got my new GX, and decided to add the LED tail lights as first mod (wheels/tires next, once my Rays 57trans-x arrive after backorder). Definitely like them a lot more than the stock lights. Also the current iteration of the lights come with a piece that you stick on with double sided 3m tape to fill the gap. Overall pretty happy with fit and quality given price. I live in CA, but will report back if we get any rain on if it seals correctly. Design wise the only think I don't like as much is that the lights kind of protrude out from the body lines vs. OEM lights, but that appears to be the Carmarka version as well. Likely because they were meant to be Prado lights originally.
I bought mine off of Amazon - there's multiple sellers with the same light. The first set I got from one seller had a piece that broke off the corner of one light, and the interior glass/plastic looked like it had a crack. I returned it and purchased another set from another retailer that actually was more expensive but had a few more reviews. That one turned out fine. Not sure, but perhaps the second retailer was QC checking the lights for the extra price, since they obviously all come from the same factory
The ones I got are different than the above. The sequential signal is great. Linked is a short, really short video of what they look like in action and with the brakes activated too. Got from Alibaba. The bottom trim piece was placed on them too high. Heated them and removed the trim, affixed the trim to the bumper after putting the lenses in and there is no gap on the silver one (my wife’s) still need to do that to these.
I have also noticed the newer one (as from Amazon) is bit different design as the one I have done original (so as posted here by Piney1). The original one was made more of replica of LX style with LED delusion lens to create thin line of lighting effects, the newer one uses segment LEDs, and added side markers and switchback for the reverse lights. The side markers are nice as original one is too boring for the side profile, plus it is also somewhat DOT recompiled as US required for side markers, although not sure if the location and brightness meet the standard, but at least fits the purpose and made side profile much better. The switchback reverse lights are nice touch as well. I wish they could made one with LX style with side markers and switchback reverse lights would be perfect.
You COULD always run a thin bead of silicone around anywhere that could possibly allow moisture to creep in, but they're already installed and look great... Not worth doing unless they actually start to leak. Nice to see a good looking alternative to the dated stock taillights.
I've had to do that, but used "flowable" silicone, seeps into seams better.
Here is a better view of what the sequential LEDs look like on the other GX. These, I took the black trim piece off and attached to the bumper, flush with the lights. The fit is good now, no need for the foam spacer that I had put in there to make up for the gap.
