    I bought some on Ebay around a month ago. When I received them, the mounting bolts on both lights were broke. These metal bolts are screwed into the plastic housing of the lights and the plastic stresses and brakes. I contacted the seller and he sent two new tail lights. The new lights were not broke but the mounting points were cracked. I put some plastic weld on each of the bolts and installed them. They look great but are cheaply made. I purchased them from redcometm3 on Ebay.

    I never really looked at them close enough to see a brand name, etc.

    I do know that the guy that snagged them up claimed that they were vintage ones and not like the new ones.

    All I know is that I never had a problem with them and the fit and finish looked pretty stock.

    Vintage LED's. Isnt that a bit like a vintage iphone?

    Would it be too much trouble to reach out to your buyer and see if he knows the manufacturer? thx

    The guy I sold them to said that the back was stamped with "CharDIN" on them.

    That's all there was.

    I have the In Pro also and they are a great upgrade. Have had them on for around 4yrs and no problems with fit, finish, or operation. A nice looking more modern upgrade.

    Which ones did you get? Red with the white horizontal stripe? That would look hot on your white car.

    Have a pic?

    Thx.

    Yea, the Red with the horizontal clear/white backup strip are the ones I have. They use a conventional bulb for the reverse & turn signal and LED's for the tail lights & brake lights. They do add a more modern look to the car even when not in use. They have never given me a autocheck bulb warning and all LED's are still functioning 4 yrs later.Attachment 13574

    This was a pick I took just after getting my DRC recall done. About two days after getting the car back from the recall I ripped out the DRC system and installed my KW's. Been happy ever since.
