Any fitment/quality issues compared to the other big guys, such as Valenti?

My VLAND smokes are en route as of Nov 23, so I'll post up when I get them.

No fitment issues with mine. I have washed the car twice and no water leaks. I just had to figure out the the re-pinning on my own and match them to the OEM tails. Like I meditation before, the amber LEDs are pale yellow instead of deep amber and that kind of bugged me a little.

Those are stunning!

Although, my OCD would require that I did their headlights as well. Has anyone done those or looked into them yet?

I think these are for halogen headlight models, not much use if you have a MY17+ or a HID model.

For the life of me I cannot unpin these. THey dont have the same locking mechanisms as all other tail lights on youtube.

Some screenshots I took of the VLAND headlights posted on the groupbuy found on Facebook.
*update: The guy says it's plug n play for 8pin connectors. Those with 6 pin connectors like his FRS need to rewire or tap into the front turn signals for DRL and turn signals.

Disregard the filth. Wash day

Doesn't get better than those.

If anyone *does* swap out their 17+ LED headlights, please PM me and I'll take them off your hands. A spare set wouldn't be a bad thing to have.
