Trust me, they are still much much brighter than stock -- Especially the turn signals! It's just the inner housing that's painted dark to give the illusion you're experiencing. Unlike the design of original Valenti taillights, the Revos are much more refined.

They could be getting in via a hole by the rubber cover in the front lowest part of the rear wheels arch.
If you get inside the rear of the car, remove the trim with the armrest & peer towards the rear behind the arch you can see daylight.

Looks great!

I just got my front bumper cracked too by an animal jumping in front my car. I want to get the 2017 bumper as well.

If you went through insurance, was it too much of a hassle to ask for the 2017 bumper instead? Trying to figure out how to go about it.

Normally you can swap in other parts and pay the difference in price if there is any. Accidents can be an upgrade opportunity with the repair shop of your choice.

The stuff nightmares are made of... Wanted to darken the silver interior bits and add some texture, so I vinyl wrapped them. Took the opportunity to add some JDM door items and JPM speaker pads too. Probably should have cleaned the doors before pics.







Also wrapped my dash in Alcantara...

I did some vinyl work as well... Then I decided to adjust the clutch grab point and install the intech high point brake light that has been sitting in the car in its box for a few days... And in the middle of removing the "flying saucer" I got to go searching for a clip that dropped down into the frame...





I'm going to have to re-wrap the shifter trim though... I totally botched the inset for the traction control buttons. Damn vinyl started ripping...
