Taiwan makes everything and they make good stuff. It really depends on how much money is put into development. Depo is one of the major oem and after market producers. It's just unfortunate these batch issues can happen and it's not picked up on until it's out to the public.

Once the LED's go out on these tail lights how are they replaced? It sucks that the exact tail lights I want are the ones everyones having problems with.

LOL, sorry I trolled you guys hard.

Taiwan does make good products(also bad ones, and the same with China). China just has the negative stigma associated with them.

Oh no....I went to check my clear usdms right after seeing this thread today....and lo and behold I have a small hole starting in the passenger side. Seems like this affects a high percentage. Will be going back to my store to see what can be done

Soon. It isn't the sun. It's the plastic being too close.

Just noticed both of mine had started melting when I washed my car this weekend

I installed them in around late February or early March. Between then and now, for a few weeks in June, I put my stocks back on (because I painted them red, there was no melting in my Tom's at the time)
So total, they've been on the car for about 4 and a half months?
