I have the exact same lights on order from zomkspeed on the bay. Hope to install them when they get here.

I think people say the fit isn't 100% OEM, but it is close. They also take in a little water from car washes, etc. but do eventually dry out. You also have to be careful about all the wiring during installation and make sure that there aren't any cuts. Exposures in the wiring that touch metal parts of the car will cause fuses to blow.

Either way, make sure you know how to swap out a fuse and keep those OEM lights as backups.

As for the water getting in... just make sure to run a light bead of silicone around the outside and maybe near the bulb area and it should prevent the fogging and such. They're likely just not sealed well like the rest of the eBay tail lights. The tC ones have the same issues.

Cool looking lights. I say keep the pressure washer away from the edges, and you should be fine.

Are the Sonar brand LED taillights suppose to be the best in terms of quality and looks???

i know the round lower version is made by Sonar, but do they also make the rectangle lower version?

I think they all are Sonar on Ebay. I have mine for about 2 years and really like them. A little water gets in them from washing, but seems to dry out ok.

Like said above, be careful not to slice or squish any of the wiring when installing, otherwise you will blow fuses.

For the money, they are really a great mod.

i have the older ones with the circle at the bottom and my drivers side LEDs are very dim now. i've had them just under 2 years. i have no idea whats wrong. i really don't want to buy another pair but i may have to .
