Valenti Tail lights disappointment/question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kincito · 05-09-2014, 11:24 PM

Bought a pair of valenti tail lights on December 9, 2013 and now its May and the turn signal has burned out on the left tail light. I feel like its unacceptable since its only been a few months..

I contacted the vendor, but is there a way I could fix it myself? if so how?

Did you get them in the group buy from Panson? I did, so I guess I'll be checking mine tomorrow..

Now I'm getting condensation on the right tail light...man I'm about to put the stock ones back on, these valenti lights are garbage

Frank5364 · 05-13-2014, 10:13 PM

really? Have mine for 3 days..... I dont want to keep checking up on them....

thats how a majority of aftermarket taillights made in china/taiwan are.

Frank5364 · 05-13-2014, 10:34 PM

Has anybody had better luck with them? Long time no probs???

Ryan86 · 05-13-2014, 11:11 PM

I was part of the first group buy in 2012, just under a year 3 LEDs on the left side indicator stopped working, Valenti replaced in 5 days after submitting 3 pictures and the manufacture date.
The replacement light after first wash started getting condensation, took pictures and received replacement in 8 days after submission.

Now you can knock aftermarket lights, however I've seen far more problems reported on the OEM tails, so take into consideration the warranty Valenti offer, so I give them a huge thumbs up for standing by there product.

I've had mine for eight months, had condensation that was gone in two hours, and haven't had a problem since!

Do you have their phone number? For the valenti people in the US

Would be great to get their number. I've had the same problem with my valentis from zeta performance. I love the lights but I can't stand the random led failure!

SAME PROBLEM!
