Some people are selling them cheap cause some of the led's are out and stuff.. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue.

Just like any LED set, they WILL eventually burn out; that's just how they work. If mine decided to just randomly burn out in random spots then I'll just pop them open and fix the individual pieces. It's oddly easy to do and I'm not very technically inclined when it comes to lights.

Im aware initially the valentis had LED issues but I thought they were resolved; the place I was gonna buy a set from said they havent had the issue but were happy to have them replaced if they did die

Yeah, there have been different runs of them, and the most current one is the V3 line, which mine are. Better waterproofing and stronger relays. Yours should be fine. I've had mine on my car since January with no issues whatsoever, but time will always tell, you know?

Here are some pics of my full red Valentis, compliments to ModBargains! You can see my post on page 2 or 3 about buying and installing it.
I LURRVVEEEEE Them.
Had a member message/text me for pictures so I thought I'd just post some for everyone. No idea why I bothered to blur out the plates.
And requests in pics, feel free to ask!

You pretty much just sold me on these, and our cars are entirely different colors. Thanks for the pics!

So, unfortunately the, red lens/white bar combo (the one that looks all red) is currently stuck at the dock and ModBargains doesn't know when it will be available, so I need to possibly pick a different style. These were the other ones I was originally thinking about--has anyone else gotten these already? What do you think? Any pictures mounted on the car?

This is true, and I actually looked into it, but ModBargains still has a better price. The alternative lights have actually grown on me, so I think I will go that direction. Thanks for your help!

i have the black edition valentis on mine and i think they look nice i was originally going to get the ones you listed but the black edition just fit the car better IMO and ive seen a twin with the cherry red valentis but they have this weird foggyness to them that looked odd to me at night so i chose the other ones just because the light bar was more defined

Well, I will be receiving my lights in the next week, so I will be sure to post up some photos when I get them. I like the idea of an "exposed" turn signal.

Here is a picture of a silver brz with the red and chrome Valenti tail lights. I love the way they look I was worried about the the chrome being too much but it is subtle. Also a lot people mistake my car for an Audi oddly.
