Consumer Description

THE OEM BULBS IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE TOO HOT AND AFTER SOME TIME THE BULBS BURN THROUGH THE PLASTIC, CAUSING THE BRAKE LENSES TO GET CLOUDY, THE PLASTIC TO MELT ONTO THE BULB, AND THE RED TINT TO FADE IN THE BRAKE LIGHTS. MY CAR IS LIKE THIS AND EVERY 2008 CX-7 I'VE SEEN HAS THE SAME THING - CLOUDY AND BURNED BRAKE LENSES FROM THE BULBS BURNING A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LENSE PLASTIC.
