Led Rear light question

Hi, I am debating on if I should get the LED rear light from N1concepts. I heard that the led rear lights mess up the rear defrosters. If anyone have any information on that problem, Please let me know Thanks.

I am not aware of defroster problem.
Among 4 people I know, I have no problems what so ever, Tool had moisture problem at some point after washing a car, EXWRX had one(1) LED that went bad (out of 18-20, I do not know how many is there exactly) and Kelsodeez just could not stand fit and finish so he bought OEM LED's and tossed N1's.

I am not thrilled with the fit and finish of mine, but I made them fit the best I could under the circumstances.
Hey if you have money to spend on OEM's go for it!
Personally, I'd rather put that money toward wheels and live with $100 LED tail knock offs!

Another internet myth in the making. No they do not.

I would say save up for the JDM OEM's.
As Ciburri said, almost most of the people that have them, run into problems or quality issues with the lights. If you can swing it, get the OEM's from Japan, worth the money for the quality in my opinion.

Well said, from the pictures I've seen of the N1's there is a really poor standard put into their production, very inconsistent product.

My N1's were crappy too.
They took some dremeling of the outer edges to fit, did not align up properly, and the led light intensity were different from each other. One side was way brighter than the other.
I got what I paid for.

that's billmus with 1 S LOL
ya for the price and the fact that I really wanted LEDs you can get over the problems
mine fit just fine but I dont know what they did to get the lenses different colors
I have yet to try a resistor - I've put all my purchases on hold ( going to Cali in April and Florida in may ) so I can't buy anything! Haha
