Video guide on how to install new tail lights - Vland

Today I fitted Vland V2 tail lights to my Subaru BRZ. They are 2017 facelift style lights with the added bonus of sequential indicators. It was super easy and I made a how to video. The before and after difference is amazing, it really refreshes that back end:

There are plenty more how to video coming up as I modify my BRZ, for updates please follow my youtube channel and instagram page:

You should tighten the 8mm nuts in a criss cross pattern, which you did not. Where's your torque wrench? The nuts should be tightened to ~40 in lbs.

Thanks for the tip. Video updated with prompts around torque settings and leak test
