I just got my replacement delivered today. It looks good. I'll be sending the bad one back on tuesday. I hope to get them installed this weekend. The only thing that concerns me is if I have to take off the a-spec lip from the bumper even if I just do the option of only loosening one side of the bumper at a time.

My replacements came yesterday also- I'm all set for post-Chrismas install. Already shipped the returns back already with Tim's enclosed FedEx label.

I've got a A-Spec rear also WITH backup sensors!

Good news, You can install the rear tails without fully taking off the a-spec lip. I'll be posting how to do so later this weekend or on christmas day as I'll not be doing much that day.

Got my tails & rear sidemarkers in yesterday. Had to loosen the whole rear bumper to do it in order to reach the bolts/brackets at the bottom of the taillights. If you have one, the A-Spec rear lip is not disturbed in the process, it just stays mounted to the bumper. Hardest part is the removal of the bumper attach screws in the rear fender wells. For some it may be easier to remove the rear wheels to get at them.

Has anyone had problems with condensation in their taillights?

I just got a car wash today and noticed condensation in the corner of the taillight, about the size of a baseball.

Great, first the cardboard pieces, now this

Tim!...Help!

Yup mine were dusty on the inside too..... but I also have strobes in the rear so when i cut the holes in some of the plastic dust filings went in the lens and that drove me nuts.....now i dont really recommend what I did to clean it to anyone but it seemed to have worked and i havent had probs with fogging or anything...... I flooded the lights out with water and drained them out a few times making sure all the filings are out and not at the bottom of the lens. afterwards I made sure to dry them out immediately so that theres no water spots on the inside with a heat gun about 12 inches from the hole with the leds....end result I have 1 water spot that you can barely notice in each corner of each lens. A lil crazy to say the least but i didnt care about spending another 200 on another set so no harm done lol!

Looks like I also have the condensation issue with the both new taillights after a car wash.
Those 2007 Taillight quality are just worse than anything else. At least with the dry California weather, the condensation water seems to vapor a few hours.
