Eagle Eyes....
I re posted Because I named them Wrong. I have scoured the internet and cannot find any resource for Eagle eyes. I found a number for China I now have 3 with Leds out .I am afraid to buy more Because of the quality and lack of support. They have NO quality control and seeings how the US is the principle consumer They should have a Customer support center. Carid is Absolutly no help.

Go with JW Motoring. Jhonathan is a great guy and can likely help you out. I purchased a set from him a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier.

How long have you had your Eagle Eyes? Hoping that I don't have any issues with burned LEDs beyond the warranty period

All Eagle Eyes LED tail lights are manufactured in the same place. I have purchased several sets from Ebay and JWMotoring. They are the same. I have never had a failure so far. The set I am currently using have been on the car for several years.
My car RARELY gets wet (except for washing it). I think that some of the failures that I have heard about have been caused by moisture getting into the wiring or light housing. The wires are not sealed very well in any of the lights I have purchased.
If you drive in the rain a lot or live in an area with a lot of moisture I would highly recommend waterproofing the wiring where they enter the light housing with some sort of sealant.
This would probably be a good idea regardless.
Sorry for your problems. If you buy another set try that.

make sure you use some silicon caulk around the wires and let it dry before you install them. The other issue that could happen is poor solder joints to the LEDs but I don't know if it is possible to open the housing without breaking it to access the board to fix/replace/resolder on the board itself.

I have set of Eagle Eyes on my Corvette coming on 3 years. I drive the car in rain, and living in Florida it's rain storm, wash the car and knock on wood no failures.
I guess it's the luck of the draw, bought them off E-bay.

I sealed the housings on mine with silicone, but did nothing to the wire connectors. A little over a year and no issues (knock wood). It's my daily driver, rain or shine (snow is another story), and I am also not bashful with the hose when washing the lights.

We do have the 1 year warranty on these. I can't recall anyone ever using it.
Thanks for your order
