When I first saw the Avest/spec d tails, I thought of the BMW tails
I thought they looked just great period, really updated the rear. So I got one early on and wasn't/haven't been disappointed

Copy pasted from my build thread..
I recently picked up and installed my K2Motor full LED tail lights. Thanks go out to Nat, Elvin and Carlin @Impact Performance on getting these beautiful tail lights for me.
Overall the quality is good and a deal for the price in my opinion. The new tails really update the look for the LS and they look amazing at night.
Stock 07 non-LED tail lights:
How it looks when opening the box:
Protective plastic unwrapped:
New LED (top) vs Stock (bottom)
Included in the box are the 2 resistors and some sticker gaskets:
And install done, took maybe 30mins:
Back up LED:

I have washed my car 3-4 times without issue, but this popped up today. The bad news is that it spent another 5 hours out in the sun with temps around 80 and it is still there. Have a packed day tomorrow, but may fool around with it if I have time. The next concern will be if the electrical has been compromised. I was instructed by the company I purchased them from to not over tighten the bolts, so maybe it shook a little loose and allowed water to creep past the seal. I'll give an update in another day or so. I also have an issue with the passenger side inner piece not sitting flush, but may be corrected when I retighten.

How do I get this? I need as much light as possible with my murdered out tails. Which I must say look awesome because you cant even tell theyre different tail lights til I hit the brakes and then BOOM. I had people wondering what car it was

Hopefully this is just a quick gasket re-position and re-tighten.

I think I over tightened mine, time to do surgery again, the gaskets are just about same thickness like the stock ones so don't see how it would let water in. 4 dollar tube of clear silicone wont hurt about now just in case either.

So I dropped the trunk cover today and it rained on me. I was surprised at how much actually came out.
While taking the screws off, one of them kept spinning. It backed itself out of the light
Busted out a hairdryer and let it sit in the sun. Good news is that the light still works. I have not tried reverse yet. Bad news is that the fog is still there. Will contact the seller to see if there is anything we can do. I cannot really tell how or where the water was getting in. It was a little damp towards the bottom, but nothing blatantly obvious. I was turning the light in all different directions and got a good amount of water out, but there is still a bit at the bottom that does not seem to want to come out. I was going to add some silicone, but did not want to void a warranty.
