LOL i'm sure tim's just busy. but considering that we all ordered on the same day, i'm sure we can all expect our packages to arrive on thursday, if not earlier...or maybe a little later

I got a message that my shipment was shipping today? Probably due to the fact that I ordered multiple items; A-Spec body, TL-S tails/sides and 4 TPMS sensors all coming at once.....can't wait to get this project started Still hoping for a tracking # so I know what day to tell the boss that I'm "sick"... Maybe you have to have more than 300 posts on AZ to get one...lol

maybe lacking in funds?

ANYWAYS, just a heads up, i got my packages all in today. everything's PERFECT. got the side markers in just fine, and i'm about to start on the tails. BUT, fyi all, the left side in particular's PRETTY DANG tough to force in. I ended up having to bend the little brace that holds the wire in on the side marker piece. Fit in just fine, and works perfectly. good luck all.

In the same boat ....tracking # received today, est. delivery on the 30th for a 35 lb. package...I'm guessing TL-S tails/sides + 4 TPMS sensors. I have no idea when the A-Spec body is gonna ship The anticipation is KILLIN' me!

My package is 10.2 lbs and they are TL-S tails/sides. Do the 4 sensors weigh 25 lbs? If not ...

Can't imagine they could? Maybe my A-Spec body is on the way....seems like it'd weigh more than 35 lbs. though. Regardless, I gotta wait for both to arrive to start the project....not taking the rear bumper cover off twice

Thanks man......appreciate the offer. It looks like a pretty straight install as long as there are no SNAFU's Far more concerned about getting the A-Spec body kit mounted proper....have been reading all the DIY's to prep for install.

That sounds like a product quality issue to me. Hopefully we all didn't get faulty tails. If anyone else did please post to this thread. I'm getting my stuff in on Monday so I will let you guys know how it goes. I don't want to open up a box with front sidemarkers OR improperly sealed tails.

Pre-sealed? Like not having that huge hole in the back of them... No they are not sealed.

Besides the light assembly you need to make sure that you transplant the foam o-ring (around the light assembly). It sucked to screw in those 4 screws, I had to use my trusty drill and a drop of WD-40 on the screws to make sure it was tight.. (dont strip yours, that would be bad... Use the clutch on your drill.)

But I think your problem is you didnt transplant the big foam piece that goes around the bulb connectors.. There IS a hole in that.

Have fun ripping the whole freaking thing apart... I really really hope mine doesn't go bad...

Not installing the foam pieces does sound like a reason for water to potentially get inside the tails.

But looking at the tails, Im starting to think that there is something else that wrong with Ericks setup.. Post a picture..

I would venture to say that it is sealed between the outer glass and red reflector. But maybe not.
