Don't hit a pot hole or it might break your tail lights..

Hit a pot hole and it broke the solder joints.. POS..

Blinker malfunction. No problem Ill go get a light bulb from autozone.. Oh, its LED.. no.. problem I will replace the array.. Oh its bound in epoxy and will cost me 170 dollars for a new. FUUUCK..

LEDs last FOREVER.. That is the whole point of them. Never have worry about them ever again.

So anyway are there any aftermarket options that are cheap? Thinking about a junk yard pull but hard to say if those wont break. I hear the new OEM ones have the issue fixed.

I feel your pain. There was(they fixed the road finally) a spot on 280 near Palo Alto that had uneven pavement. Everytime I went over it, it caused a electrical malfunction. My lights went out, SRS system. Went thru two seat harnests along with my blinker light breaking off. Thankfully my warranty covered all of it.
