I'm on my 4th set of those, admittedly not from that company, but i understand there is only one manufacturer...and they fall apart and let water in! :(

WOW...

4th Set :shock:

I think the 'Self Adhesive' system will always be a flunk... :doh:

I had to do some basic wiring and modify the holes in the side guards (wings) to fit the Monaro Style lights, but it wasn't that hard to do, for a quality long-term result...

The front lense seperates from the plastic base where the LED's are and lets water in...or if it doesnt seperate, the seal between the lense and base is that bad that water gets in anyway.

Ive also had a pair were only half the LED's worked!
