Default Bummed about tail lights

Installed Anzo black tail lights on my 2008 tC. They look awesome.

the one used to look perfect like this...now only the top lit up row consists of 3 working leds as well as the bottom row


Just today my boyfriend was driving behind me and noticed that 5 led's were out on my right tail light. We called Anzo and luckily they gave us no problem. We will be uninstalling them and putting my stock tails back on for the time being and send the defective ones back to Anzo. They will be sending us all new tail lights

But just rather bummed that I only had them for 2 weeks and the one isn't working now.

Ive heard that Anzo is a really good aftermarket light. Im reassuring myself it's just a bad panel.

Well my boyfriend actually got them for me as a birthday present
I did think about smoking them, but I think for the time being I will let them be. I plan on doing a few other mods to the back end that may make the tail lights look good. But we'll see :?

I've had mine for over a year, and haven't had a single problem with them. If an LED or two go out, I'll be buying another set.

I actually plan on selling my stock ones, so until this whole thing is straightend out I'll probably just let them be. But that is a great idea! I wanna try to sell the stock tails so I can buy the smoked full lit third brake light.

honestly this isn't a popular thing with Anzos. It does happen because nothing is perfect. Like I said it's most likely just a bad panel. My other tail light is perfectly fine. Sure it's a hassle, but any tail light can have this type of problem. Im sure there are a lot of people that have purchased Anzo lights and have had no problems what so ever with them, I just happend to receive a "bad egg".

Im sure yours are fine. I didn't want to like worry anyone or anything. Was just curious if other people that have purchased these lights have had any similar problems. Im not trying to scare people away . This is like my 15th mod on my car and the first one that's given me problems. So I was bound to have some bad luck somewhere.... HAHA.
