I must say I actually like the way those lights look on your car.

As for the steering wheel - that looks good too, but I can't imagine how the steering wheel felt bad after 71K miles. I've 167K miles and still the original wheel, and original leather in the entire car. Leather is meant to last forever and nice evenly worn leather has a very nice feel I think

Well, leather is only going to last if it is treated and taken care of. You should see my drivers seat, it is pretty worn......I got the car used and guess the previous owner did not really believe in taking care of the detailing. I really have to do something for the drivers seat though, some of the dove grey color to the leather is worn off on the side quite a bit. Passengers seat looks pretty good, guess who owned the car prior to me never had many passengers.[???1]

carcus, did they leak yet? They look pretty good and would be a hell of a deal if they don't leak.

DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT!!!! After 2 days in the rain, they are starting to fog up. No leaks but the fogging seems like it will be a problem if it does not go away. I imagine driving with the lights on and the heat from the bulb can be a problem, but I say this is to poor quality sealing. Going to see how it goes. The fogging is visible on the interior of the tail light, the entire thing is not fogged, just portions. Like I told you all, I will post the truth of my experience. So far, disappointed at the seals. Hopefully tomorrow, the fogging will be gone and only happen during heavy rain. I do not see any drops in them, just now, the fog is consolidating into very tiny droplets on the interor of the tail light lens. Not a good thing.......[mad] [mad] [mad]

well with the steering wheel, i think it depends on the person. in my car, 149k miles the stering wheel is in near perfect condition, and my moms 540, 107k miles, is in ok condition, not really that good, nor bad. and my dads had my car used since 60k, and me since 146k.

LOL....you figure in Las Vegas....damn I love that town, Vegas is the KING OF BLING!!!

Also, just a off note, update on the tail lights, the fogging seems to be minimal so far, but still pissed I have fogging. Having a direct stream of water when washing the car is not the best for these lights. The fogging went away a day after the rain, but still made me a bit mad. Damn, they do look nice but for $100 bucks, what you see is what you get. Problems seems to be that the seals around the tail lights are not the best. Just going to deal with them though. As long as they only fog up for a bit after a heavy rain, guess it is OK. Would I recommend them to someone else, for looks yes, quality on fogging issues....no....but for 100 bucks, guess they are OK....again, love the looks.

I was going to say, once they dry up, take some silicone to them. If you do a quality enough job you should be all set. I've wanted those same lights and I'd be so disapointed if they leaked on me

The fogging goes away but you can see water get into them on the sides when you wash the car. Tried silicone on other aftermarket tails before, never seemed to work. I might try a silicone based spray instead. I love the looks of them, just....I nitpick on little things. No break light errors, no water actually in the tail lights, just seems the water gets in on the sides where the corner. Again, with a cracked stock light, bad contacts.....so far just dealing with the fogging after rains, it is humid out here also. Just wanted to give an update.[;)]
