Noticed some scratching across most of my lenses. Did everyone receive the same condition?

Mine looked great. I had some concern about the gap others have mentioned, as it's quite obvious when tightening the unit down (root cause is black backing plastic lip isn't consistent from one side of light to other), but it's not really noticeable when completed. Only other gripe is I wish the amber color on the turn/hazard LED's was a bit deeper hue. Minor gripe though and perhaps just personal preference... I'd rate them a 9.5 out of 10 overall.

No and Im not sure I would accept that. Mine had mild surface scratches that covered almost the whole surface of one, not serious enough to return. That scratch in picture three looks deep enough to be obvious and not repairable with a polish. And if Im seeing the first two pics right it looks like the seal is bad, if it doesnt leak at first it might in the future and moisture in a taillight looks like crap. Obviously you know best, a picture can be misleading...

A few of the seams on my tail lights looked a bit rough.. not to say that they weren't sealed though..

I still went around the entire edge of each light with a small bead of clear silicone..

Wish there wasn’t so much bulge from the rear view, which is what most people will be staring at while driving.

Yeah, I thought the same. I've talked to the seller asking for a replacement. The scratch in picture 3 is underneath and on the inside.

I'll be doing the same once I get my replacement if the seller replies in a timely manner lol.

Yeah...I did a quick mock up and most people would look at that bulge first.

I mean you could try it, and get to the checkout screen, type it in and see if the discount applies.... ?

I know it's really hard work though, take a breather, get pumped up, try putting on some music, I like Eminem - Lose Yourself.
