Default just ordered tyc lights..kinda worried

i used to not like them very much but here lately they have grown on me so i want some now. i ordered them from trd sparks yesterday but im worried that they might have bad seals and fog up like some of the people on here have. if that happens, could i just take it to any toyota dealership and get replacement lights for free? or would i have to go thru sparks toyota?

or you could just re-seal them to avoid the fogging... but i dont know what to do about the LED's...

really shouldn't be a problem. real trd/toyota/scion accessories may seem a bit expensive, but that is because they are really well made and shouldn't have anyproblems like fogging up. they aren't cheaply made like lots of other aftermarket part makers.

but if you do have a problem, it can be taken care of by your local toyota/scion dealership because sparks themselves are a toyota dealership, your just ordering the part through them instead of your local toyota dealership.

TYC's are not the best quality out there.

Anything anzo hasn't really impressed me. I hate that these companies pump out such cheap stuff. people would be willing to pay a few extra bucks for a good quality product; if only they knew that.

I have anzos. Didn't re-seal them at all...only downside is that the passenger side tail light doesn't fit as perfectly as the driver side does......other than that all LEDs work and no condensation

No i didn't re-seal mine, just took them out of the box and installed them. One problem i had though was going through the trouble of finding an extra turn signal bulb because the company only gave me one...
