Didn’t you over tighten them? The stress of that could cause this. Assuming they are OEM, they should be under warranty.
$150-250 for just the inner light that cracked. I was looking at OEM ones from junk yards. ECS sells them for $275, have to assume it is OEM if it comes from ECS.

Maybe I did over tighten them, but no luck with warranty, I got them from the forum.

Do the LCI lights have any brake force display feature like the non-LCI lights had? This is where on US cars, the area of the brake light changes depending on how hard you brake.

I hope he can fix it.
Response from Vick in case someone else has this issue.

“For usa tail lights some times there will be this issue. Its a short circuit counter. I tried something else now.”

He recoded something.

Let’s see if that works.

Does anyone know what happens if you “exceed the allowable short circuit resets” caused by LCI tail lights?

Are they permanently disabled? I am curious since this issue is common with US spec LCI tail lights.

Thank you guys

Awesome and nice find. eBay is still good for stuff like this.
