I was able to fix the burnt hole in my tail light receptor by lightly sanding the hole area and flow soldering the hole closed it's been over two years now end the light is working fine. It took me 1/2 hour and cost nothing. Seems like it's always the left side light. Good luck

They look nice. How hard or easy was the install? And did you say it is hardwired? I assume it comes with connectors?

simple install...3 nuts for the side and I beleive 1 for the tail. Mine was a little tight on the right side due to the subwoofer. Just remove the rear compartments and you'll see the 3 nuts. As for the tail, just follow the manual for replacing the bulb and you'll see the single nut.

yes, hardwired w/plug-n-play connector...no more twist on.
