Don't mod taillights!

Then why not stamp the lights with the standard like the OEMs do?

Because possibly there are very specific tests that have to be passed in order to legally apply the markings? Or a specific testing facility has to do the certification?

Something that "compliant" lights don't have?

And "compliant" is indeed vague language.

Not sure why you are so hung up on the terminology, this is standard language for the FMVSS validation process, we have been manufacturing lights for over 25 years, I can tell you this is standard industry terminology. This design does not have an exterior acrylic lens the process to emboss into a textured PC surface without deforming is a challenge and it is not required.

Because words have meanings.

Which is why the industry uses "compliant" instead of saying lights are DOT approved.

Compliant is a VERY ambiguous term. Which could mean as little as that the light contains the required running, brake and back up lights the law requires. While glossing over the fact that they are no where near as bright or visible as the OEM lights are required to be.

And in your over 25 years of making lights you haven't learned how to make ones that reliably last more then 2 YEARS? Seems that 25 years only taught you haw to maximize your profit margins at the customers expenses.

Over in the gun world SIG backs their optics with a lifetime (free replacement) warranty, even if the optic was bought used. You would do well to emulate them.

Or at least pay the chinese a bit more money to build you a better product.
