Anyone has these newer 2022-2023 lower diffuser sequential LED?
How long have you had them?
How are they holding up? Any light fading, burning out, not working, etc

Thanks!!!

I talked to a guy at a meet that has them. Apparently they stop working from time to time.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Do you know if it was the 22-23 or the 18-21. B/c the 18-21 are known to crap out.
 
Just black em out...
 
Black them out and have the lights.
The lights always seem to have issues. Work for a bit and then ugh...my opinion disconnect them and black them out. Or CF wrap, they would match your hood. Hahahaha! Cleans up the diffuser area. Again IMO without the reflectors or lights

Got something up my sleeve, why I’m asking about 22-23 sequential led
 
UTC on the 10th?
I don’t know maybe. Waking up at 545 is rough…. But I’m sure you know all about it, coming up my way. LoL.

If you own a 2022-2023 why not just do the Korean spec sequential turn signals that come stock on the car?

They're really expensive for lights...
Yeah, WTF is up with that? Ain't no way stock lights should be $600+ Even the older style Korean spec 2018-2021 are still expensive. I'd think those would be cheaper now that the new style is out.

I bought the middle section used on eBay to convert mine to the 2022-2023 style, haven't finished it yet, nor have I bought the turn signals.

It's important to understand that any issues with the Sequential or Standard bumper LED lights are not related to the year range of the Stinger, or the year range the product is designed to be installed on. The root of the problem is typically related to the location of where the LED drivers/circuit boards are installed on the vehicle.

Contrary to popular belief, the actual LEDs in the bumper reflector are usually not the issue. In fact, more than 80% of failures occur because of corrosion from outside external elements affecting the LED drivers/circuit boards. Unfortunately, many installers, including Stinger owners who install the lights themselves, often install the LED drivers/circuit boards very low on the bottom of the vehicle, in areas exposed to the outside elements. As a result, the LED drivers/circuit boards become corroded and no longer provide proper power to the bumper lights. This is why the location where the LED drivers/circuit boards are mounted is critical!

We discovered this a few years ago and have since replaced the LED drivers/circuit boards for many customers experiencing issues, rather than having to replace the LED bumper reflectors. It's also worth noting that not all of these products are the same, despite what some vendors/sellers may claim in their listings. We have been working closely with the manufacturer in Korea for almost a decade, and they have made many many alterations, changes, upgrades, and improvements to the product over the years, particularly for the 2018-2021 Stinger, for which they redesigned the product 3 separate times, using newer LEDs and improved PCB boards.

Defects can be a common occurrence when it comes to the aftermarket LED industry. However, using high-quality LEDs, PCB boards, and LED drivers/circuit boards can significantly increase the lifespan of the product. In the industry, a 7%-10% defect rate is pretty standard. Fortunately, with our Bumper LED Lights, we have had a lower defect rate than that. Even better, we don't sell our LEDs "as is". We provide a full 1-year warranty on all versions of the product we sell.
