From what I can see it’s the same box outside and inside as from euroactive
I am also going to assume this is what the bayoptic looks like as well.

Point is it’s all from the same place
Perhaps save some yourself some money. Took 4 days to arrive once it was marked shipped from china

Hi, can you share your link?

Says item is no longer available from the one I purchased but I searched G20 laser tailights and that’s how I found these. There will be also a IOMG G80 pictured in description pictures

Identical box.

Laguna01///M3 · 10-18-2023, 08:09 PM

So here we go..

Out of the box. Some loose plastic shards in one of the inners.

Both outters have “chew” marks on the inner laser portions. Almost like corrosion in the mold.

Hard to make clear in pics.

Probably wouldn’t even notice once installed, but to charge a premium of $1100. Seems a bit unacceptable.

Anyone else notice this?

Open a case with the vendor to make it right before you install them. Personally I'm an anal person and that would bug the hell out of me. You paid a premium for them to get warranty. Take advantage of it.

Exactly what I did.

I don’t expect them to be “perfect”, but this would irk me.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

Note: they are pretty fking dope otherwise. 😂

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.

they don't look bad but totally not my kind. the oem ones are so much nicer than GTS or CSL style.

AhsanU · 10-19-2023, 08:09 AM

I received mine yesterday, it'll be going on tomorrow.

But I should inspect it given Laguna01///M3 and his experience. Obviously they're drop shipped as I too ordered mine from Bayoptiks and it came from China, but we'll see.

Just checked mine and found only one minor issue on the outer driver side tail light
Like an indentation mark
None of the other issues you described are present.
See picture below
I would return those since you have an option

Thats exactly what I have, but more severe.

Was so excited for these...

AhsanU · 10-19-2023, 03:41 PM

Opened mine up and there are no flaws to be seen or any that stand out. I’ll post some pics tomorrow. Hope you get sorted out!

Laguna01///M3 · 10-19-2023, 03:56 PM

Bayoptiks responded and will be opening a ticket for replacements.

Looking good to me. The OEM housing is also red. So looks like it works.

You have smoked CSL or a different smoked style? Interested in the ones you have for sale.

How are the lights (turn signals, brakes)? Bright enough for safety, etc.?

Just as bright as the originals. I see no issues

My stock taillights are largely smoked on the edges, only the brake light portion is red.
