Euro Tail Lights ?

[Muhnopoly]

Trying to scoop a pair of euro tail lights for my 20 GT this weekend/cyber monday

I would like to get the 18+ version, IMO the curves look better compare to the straight up and down ones. But all the ones I find they don't say DOT approved since I'm in Cali. Only the 15+ say DOT.
I looked up Vland and they seem good, I don't need the 5 mode version since I would never drive with amber colored lights and they seem to be made in China? Don't want to take the risk of them taking a poo on me without noticing till a cop pulls me over....

Anyone have these? Where did you order them from? Are yours DOT stamped? Thanks!

Vland are good ,not heard anyone that I know having issues with them ,there good quality, also I had issues with a stock s550 taillight on my 2015 that stop working because it was not sealed right and it was factory.

I have the Vlands. No cop is going to give you any grief over them. I honestly don't remember if they have DOT stamped on them, but I think they do. I recommend the 5 mode ones. You don't drive with the ambers, they're just used in the turn signals.

there is both, a US and a EUR version of the Vland.

the US variant flashes in red.

Think about buying the smoked version.

looks better in my opinion.

Nice hitch...

Do you remember where you ordered yours from?

Are there any of these "Euro-style" tail lights that don't need to connect into the top brake light? Why do they need this? I have had my car interior apart 2x and I'm not too crazy about doing it a third time for that connection.

why did you take the interior apart? it takes hardly 10 minutes to wire the 3rd brake light and just tuck it under the side felt covers. well here is my 2018+ euro and it does say DOT SAE on bottom left side.

I just looked it up, if you sit in the back seats and pull the headliner donmwn just a tad you'll see a small wire connector, just unplug it and snap in the new harness and connect and your done. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Vland ones straight from their website for 450$

Thank you for that vid. Now I see why you need to connect the yellow wire. But I wonder why they couldn't just use the brake signal in the tail-light harness.

Oooo where's this from? Cheaper the Vlands website

I would be taking a wild guess since I'm not too familiar when it comes to wiring, my guess is since they switch from 2 different colors it probably needs 2 different sources of "programming" from different wires

I got mine from I5 Autohaus. I tried the Vlands, but for some reason they werent fitting quite right. As far as DOT they are totally legal as long as they light up red.
