Hi All,

I installed my Depo Taillights (AP1) and am running into a condensation issues on both taillights less than a month after installation. On the driver side, the chrome seems to be duller, but not sure whether this is related. I was wondering if anyone else with Depo Taillights was running into this issue and what they have done to get this resolved?

I've added some photos, please excuse the need for cleaning!

Thanks!

Mine don't seem to have this at all. I don't drive the car much and it is in the garage anytime its not being driven. Are the gaskets on and seated right?

that's a common issue with Depo headlights or taillights. They use minimal glue and not as good as OEM (at least in my past experience on other cars). It's what you get for buying china/taiwan made stuff. dry out the condensation with desiccant or a blow dryer and seal the taillight better with your choice of sealant. Caulking or whatever u want.

I was told by LMTLS Auto. a few months ago that a few of the first batch had this problem and they were replaced under the one year warranty. I suggest you contact your dealer or LMTLS Auto.

LMTLS Auto. About Us! They currently have these in-stock I think.

The link below explains in detail how to reseal your lights to prevent condensation from occurring; as well as lights that have already been affected by condensation.

Hi All,

Just wanted to give a quick update. LMTLS got back to me quite quickly initially, confirming that it was an issue with the initial batches of taillights. LMTLS told me to send the lights back and they would send me a new pair ASAP.

Unfortunately, I got stuck when I asked them for a shipping label. I haven't received a response from them since.... Has anyone else received a response from them recently? I've been trying to ping them for a couple weeks now and have not received a response.

Thanks for all your responses!

Just FYI, this was resolved and @phiaceko received his replacement tail lights.

If anyone experiences issues with your DEPO tail lights and ordered from LMTLS AUTO, please be sure to contact me here or via email (Luigi@lmtlsauto.com) and i will get you sorted.

Thanks

Hi,

My wife bought me a set of Depo tail lights for my birthday, so I tried installing them today. I got the third tail light installed easily. Now, I'm having problems with the other two. Depo advertises these tail lights as plug and play for the AP1's. I have a 2003 GPW AP1. The connectors from the car does not connect to the Depo lights. The kit that I have comes with backing plates for both the AP1 and AP2. In the AP2 package, they included two connecting adapters, but nothing with the AP1's. Has anyone had any problems installing these lights? Am I missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you have to use your oem plugs onto the new depo taillights.
