The Revo's on my son's car are his second set of Valenti's. The first, not Revos, also had non-lighting LEDs. Honestly I wouldn't have bought these for him except for he really wanted them.

Valenti Revo LED burnout -- Repair?

Of course they are 13 months old and warrantied for 12 months. Disappointing for a $600 set of taillights.

One of the Turnsignal LEDs failed.

Anyone have success fixing these things?
