Yeah, I don’t see anything with the new assemblies that would prevent this from happening again. From what I read about their Dodge Ram lights that did this was they put a lip over the projectors to block the sun. Ours seems to already have this. Expecting to have the same issue with this over the next several months.

Update:
I believe I have found the actual maker of the tails, a Taiwanese company called COPLUS.

Wish they redesigned where the reverse lights sit and offer different housing color options. Blackout doesn’t appeal to me.

EDIT
I realize these are a diff design than the TAS sample, but 78works posted an instagram pic of a demo car using the COPLUS design

You're correct, COPLUS is the maker of them. My Taiwanese buddy sent me info on them a few months back

I much prefer the TAS design over the COPLUS design, so I hope we have the option of either one

this is why you don't spend $1000+ on some cheap aftermarket headlights that most likely the bulbs are gonna go out in 2-3 years if lucky. You'd be better off modifying the stock headlights and it will look 10x better like on the picture below.

Depends on who is modifying and parts used. Halos, if are not a good quality, can burn out quick as well.

I wouldn’t call morimoto cheap aftermarket. But they have a 5 year warranty on these and took care of me so far and replaced both headlights.

ONEighty uses 100% good quality. Been running the same halos for 2 years without a problem. Of course if you wanna go cheaper then you will have issues down the road.

One bulb dies or stops working then you gotta send the whole thing to them. They advertise 5+ years. Lets see if they live up to their word

180 is good, no question. Would be my only choice, if I were ever to mod headlights (which I do not see myself doing).

Why is it so dang hard to pick what headlights to get. Such a pain.

180! It's been about 8 years on my halo and landing strip. One LED failed on the landing strip about 3 years after install. Fixed for free. Recently half of one halo failed. working on getting it fixed.

I'm digging the tails. Is it possible to disable the sequential feature?

Leingod · 05-18-2021, 10:59 AM

Looks like $660 for the tailights?
