Default Stay away from Anzo LED lights

I don't normally complain about crap products but I don't want anyone else to make this mistake. Anzo USA (the manufacturer) will not do anything to correct/replace them since they're over a year old (15 months). I went through 2 sets before they sent me some that wouldn't leak. Apparently they all leak and it destroys the lens. For $300 I expected tail lights that would last longer than 15 months.

Spoke to the vendor and they don't sell them anymore. Spoke to Anzo and got the warranty line. So much for standing behind your product.

Buyer beware.

Condensation, like you first picture, builds up inside TruckLites as well. Their answer is park in the sun, it'll be ok. Many people still run the lights, as do I without issue.

The cracking would bother me though.

I think condensation is a problem with a lot of tail lights almost every viehicle I have owned has had this problem. I am about to pull the trigger on some jw speaker brake lights hope these don't have this problem. And I found a price that beats 300. Did you pay for them by pay pal? Or with your visa? you could possibly make a claim saying it was a faulty product and manufacture won't honor warrenty. (Long shot but possibly you could get a refund or at least a response from the company if it's someone else putting the pressure on them too)

I've had my ANZO LED taillights for a little over a year. Something happened to the resistor and the were blinking like crazy and my jeep was telling me my tail lamp was out. I emailed ANZO about it telling them what was going on and that I expected a better product from a company like that. They called me and within a few days I had two resistors show up at my door from ANZO. Didn't even have to pay shipping! Granted this is one experience... I'd start a claim with my credit card company if I had your issue.
