iJDMTOY Problems

BLUF: iJDMTOYS does not back their products beyond their 90 day warranty period. Avoid unless you're ok trading the risk of having a product fail shortly outside this period.

About 6 months ago I replaced the turn signals, side markers, and the reverse/rear fog lights with ijdmtoy lights. All the oem lights were looking tired, and I had a couple messages saying one of the front turn signal bulbs were out. They turned out to just need the contacts cleaned. So I decided to just go with smoked lights.

They all look good, however, one of the turn signal assemblies is starting to show condensation inside. It's a sealed unit, so definitely had some kind of defect, and will likely fail from internal corrosion at some point. I also don't like looking at the condensation.

I reached out to ijdm and they offered me 10% off because it's beyond their 90 day warranty. That's not really a viable solution in my mind, especially considering I purchased every available external lighting product they offer for the W463. I don't see the myself re-purchasing another temporary use item.

YMMV, but I wouldn't suggest iJDMTOY. Unfortunately, there's not many other options that I've seen.

I replaced my turn signal bulbs with these:
Amazon Amazon

They are extremely bright, don't throw codes, and have a great color to them. $22 for a set of two. Ditch the aftermarket assembly and just get these bulbs instead.
