Received mine about a week and a half ago, but unfortunately mine have a defect 
Gave my car a quick wash and they don't seem to be sealed properly as water was getting in around the edges and one of the tail lights started to gather condensation covering the whole tail light. Hopefully I can get a replacement.

So I''ve had these on for about a month now.
Thoughts so far:
Does fine in the rain, been through a couple storms without any water or condensation. BUT after one wash there's a bunch of water trapped and I had to take them both out and drain them. Now they have a bunch of water spots on the inside.
I got the AP1 version from Rockstar Garage for MY04. The conversion is pretty easy, move some of the screws around to fit and bolt back on. As for wiring, I had to get an AP1 tail light bulb socket and put it on the stock harness plugs right in.
The only other mod I had to do was I cut the tiny rail things on the stock harness that prevent it from plugging into the buddy club harness. Should be self explanatory when you see it and will clip right back into the oem tail lights if you want to go back.
Last note about install is if you're using the AP2 harness just push down the pins on the tail lights down a tiny bit with long nose pliers and they should slide into the stock harness pretty snug.
If if didn't leak so bad I'd give it an 8/10.

I haven't washed my car since I installed them but I am wondering if the water is getting in through the gasket and not the lens? Maybe the seal from light to gasket to inner quarter panel is not great?
