Nice video, definitely thinking about getting a pair. Remember not to handle any bulbs with your bare hands though!

My bulbs were all swapped out for SMD's and using gloves is best

I have the smoked and they look great! Could almost pass for a stock tail with the right amount of tint, unlike others like the Valenti which are darker and scream aftermarket

I have a BRZ limited in C7P, Lightning Red.
Sell yours to fund a smoked set?

I already had them installed and the red looks fantastic with the asphalt.

They look great! I really want a set of the red ones. I do wish the center of the "eye" lit up for a function too.

Curious question but would getting these lights give the bonus of also solving the issue of water condensation?

Can't speak for anyone else, but my smoked crystal eyes are moisture free

I would have the dealership take care of the recall and then you can sell me a set of OEM lights for a DIY experiment to help fund your crystal eyes. Maybe if they let you keep the defective ones along with the replacements you can send me both sets.
