New Problems with LED Tail Lights

Since i haven't heard back from IPCW or MAX2DAMAX. I figured everyone should know about this new problem with the LED tail lights.

Be sure to check out your tail lights for similar problems.

Apparently the red reflectors in the light housing are starting to warp and the fall off.

I am still currently waiting for a response from IPCW regarding this matter.

Everyone should know that he lives in arizona where temps are VERY high...

if a car sits in the sun all day i could see how this could happen... Should they give you a new pair , 100% yes!!!

Edgar is a man of his word and products...

It was a big problem with the Altezza brand a few years ago.

Bad design.

Hopefully all is made well.

ups, sorry guys for the late response, I meant to send you an email back, IPCW responded on Saturday, they said that new lights will be sent out to you, they gave me a RMA number but failed to mention the shipping company, It completely skipped my mind came Monday to give them a call back and finding out, I'll definitely have something for you tomorrow.

See of course Edgar comes through! Make sure to park your car in the shade!!! I wonder if the blk LED's attract too much heat? Might only be this color that has the issue...

thanks guys and Edgar....

It maybe Arizona's heat, but i dont park my car everyday in the sun. Maybe 2-3 days out of the week it is in the sun. That includes going to the store, picking up my daughter or working at a clients office.

But of course there is driving in the sun... The weather is starting to cool down now and I am debating weather or not to add tint to the tail lights.

Thanks again Edgar, I will be waiting for your email.

Some of these issues with the lights concern me. I am interested in them, but people are having issues with getting them to light up properly, at times. Others have moisture issues, and now I find they don't like heat, and come apart.

I may have to wait until they get the kinks worked out.

Given the great looks and fantastic customer service I don't think these minor issues should stop you from buying these lights. Especially when you know if theres an issue you can just come on here and raise hell to expedite the resolution. jk

Everything takes time, and no, don't be worried. Shipping depends where you live.
