Sorry for reviving this old post but ... I've been thinking about the Valenti's for a while. Want to purchase them soon. I haven't really seen anyone in my area with the Valenti's, except for one guy who had them smoked. The turn signal and the brake lights weren't all that bright in the daylight.

Can I ask you ... on a sunny day, or even in just regular broad daylight, how bright are the brake lights, and more importantly, the turn signals? Thanks!

I have been driving them for almost 9 months now and haven't faced any issues. For a while I did wonder if the turn signals weren't too bright but people do notice it. Same goes for brake lights, have driven throughout the summer and no one slammed into me - so thats a good sign.

Sounds like there are a few early purchasers who have had issues with the lights burning out pretty quickly on these. Is this still a common issue? I'm tempted to buy a set of Valenti's, but it doesn't sound like it's worth it if they burn out so quickly.

I have had 3 or 4 of the LEDs on my passenger side brake light go out.

Both perform average during sunny day. Any guy right behind you will see it.
However, if you are concerned about the visibility, just got ahead and pick CR color (clear red)

CR color goes perfect w/ almost any body colors,

Wow, that sucks. How long did you have them installed before they started burning out? Are they covered by any sort of warranty?

Valenti replaced this same tail lamp 1 year ago for a bad condensation issue. I just noticed the LEDs were out on it yesterday, so I don't know for sure how long its been that way.

Came here hoping to find an easy way to fix/replace the LEDs directly without having to deal with returning the lamp again.

Warranty is a PIA but it will be taken care in the end if through us.

It's just the wait that's killing ppl.

We stand behind every product we sold and take care of any warranty issue!
