You COULD always run a thin bead of silicone around anywhere that could possibly allow moisture to creep in, but they're already installed and look great... Not worth doing unless they actually start to leak. Nice to see a good looking alternative to the dated stock taillights.

How does the waterproofing look?
Here is a distance clip for the lights, specifically for the break lights effects. I think its a perfect match with center break light, and similar style and intensity like on NX. (phone camera's auto iris didn't do very good job for the intense lights. Actually effect is more visible even in bright day light).

Come on, this is a straight on close up. Gap is minor looking in my opinion.

Pictures can be deceiving, but I appreciate having some gap on the factory tails so I can slide the chamois under there and eliminate water running down the paint after I think I'm done washing the car.

How is the picture above deceiving to you? It is clear the gap is bigger than what OEM is. To each his own but you are one of few who don't mind this gap.

Gap fixed!

Here is my solution with $8 product from Homedepot:






It took me 5 minutes to do. The result is pretty much "OEM" like. Hope that helps forsolving the eye souring problem

Wow! That actually makes a big difference, thanks for sharing. I ordered the taillights yesterday but then got an email today requesting an additional $59 payment...smh. Explanation said it was due to COVID-19 but it didn't sit right with me. Either way I requested they cancel my order and issue a full refund. I will try again later this year.

What kind of business do that? After making the payment, they should be committed. I just noticed the also raised the price of taillights online.

I got the same request too. It appears an automatically generated email from fright forwarder they are using. I did made a complain and they should have updated actually shipping cost on their web page. But ultimately, I did paid $59 to avoid further delay. For what the I am getting and quality of initial impression, the overall cost is fair to me.

Interesting! I was looking at their website last night, the price was still $299. They must read this forum and anticipate there might be a growing interests on the lights.....
