Let me drive a day or two with it to see if everything works correctly or if there is any issues

They look and operate better than the gts style
Fitment on mine is 8/10
Up close it doesn’t perfectly line up (see picture below) but the gts and OEM weren’t perfect fitment either.

Looking good!

Can you make a video of it as well to show how it looks while braking/signaling/reversing/etc?

Here is a video

The inner tailights don’t display breaking or turn signal. To me it looks a little odd that only the outer portion displays that. Reminds me of the F-series LCI tailights that needed to be coded on my F83. But to my understanding these don’t need coding and there was no extra wiring just plug and play.
For what it’s worth I emailed euro active if they could clarify this a little better.

It could help if someone else had these installed and can verify if it needs coding or if theirs works differently.
Also there is no start up sequence to these like on the GTS tailights.
The turn signal is a thin strip of yellow bar not sure if it can be seen on video.

Would of been cool if the entire strip (the thin lines) acted as brake lights. The brake lights seem so small from the video.

Can you make a video of it at night time? Curious to see how it looks.

Not the best video but hopefully it helps.
Overall it looks really nice in person.
The camera captures way to much glare but the point still stands. I think the brake light should have been active across both the inner and outer taillights.
If not for the third brake light over the rear windshield I would not leave this on my car.
I’ll go for a drive tomorrow night with a few friends driving behind me and see what their opinion is.

The brakes look better at night, not sure if that's due to the glare. They are a bit of a disappointment during the day time. Overall I like the look of the tailights, the brakes are the only thing that's underwhelming.

They look great, but man the fitment on most all aftermarket taillights is terrible.

The functionality on these seem better, the brake lights are more visible and I like the dynamic turn signal.
