I am more than happy with the performance of my CA (Clear Alternatives) light.

Looks good and about 1/2 the price of my clear alternatives integrated model. I guess you will have to get it and see if the quality is there and then let us know.

One thing I did with my CA light to try and make it abit more reliable was to incase the indv. LED's in silicone.
I had heard that the led's were prone to vibrating and coming loose at the connector. So I made a "mold" outta a few layers of painters tape around the light itself and filed it up with silicone. Now the entire unit is one solid piece. 3k+ miles and all the LED's are still working...

Not sure how this light in question is setup, but alittle silicone might go along way  ;D

I've got that tail light.

Recently I have noticed that the leds that light up the plate flicker. I have yet to investigate to see if its a loose wire or led. Still worth the money. I believe the CA light have had similar issues, dead leds etc. But that is the nature of all led lights on the road. I always see cars with oem led, there always a few dead ones.

I have that light. Great experience with them they shipped right away. It is NOT a plug and play. The stock connectors are bullet style while the ones on the light are flat blade types. It is pretty bright i have nothing to compare it to... I am sure others are brighter but its seems quality and is less pricey.

Dito on the connectors not being the same. Not a deal breaker for the DIY'er.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
