Facelift LED tails quality?

I purchased these face lifted LED tails. They claim to be the best quality from any other out there and were slightly more expensive at around $600.

Maybe I am expecting too much out of an aftermarket taillight but they seem cheap and not up to quality standards to be installed on an S class.

You can see glue at the ends, uneven. It is not seamless through the different sections.

Can OEMs LEDs be retrofitted without errors or are there any real quality aftermarket LED tails out there?

I had them on my 2007 and paid only $379 I believe from fishcake on ebay. They worked great! I would suggest returning them and saving your money! There is no difference in the pair for $379 vs $600 you spent on these.

I will be returning them. What is the bulb size for tail turn signals?
