Consumer Description

LED tail light unit continues to crack (metal inside) and not work. Each replacement is over $500. You have to replace or you’ll be ticketed because it is a safety hazard.

Please help and recall these taillights to be replaced by the updated lights!! Thank you for your time and consideration.
