LED tail lights

[barryWest]

I believe this may have been mentioned in another thread a while ago, but what is with the uneven positions of the LED tailights on the (cdn) GT models? I've seen 4 GTs in the area that I live, and on every one of them the string of lights were not straight. I saw one this morning while waiting at a stop light and it was the worst one I've seen yet, it had about 5 bulbs pushed way off-line; looked like a DIY mod gone wrong. I know next to nothing about LED tailights, so maybe this is a common problem, but man does it ever look like crap.

I am from Canada.(Edmonton, AB) My 08 GT tailight line up perfectly. I will try to get some picture.

LOL, never looked carefully but the ones I've seen look basically misaligned, but I think that is because the led stripes are on a 90 degree angle compared to the outset taillight edge which is somehow tilted to match the car profile

And I really wanted to find ones for my 08 Sport (USDM) until my wife told me that they look weird, like they are missing LEDs, last time she saw one she thought they were aftermarket lights (dunno)


EDIT: Oh, and possibly I'm just talking out of jealousy too, LOL

That was me that posted about this. When I took it to the dealer for vibration issues, I pointed this out the dealer. They said that they tried to fix it by cleaning the dirt. They said there was dirt in there. I've never got this much BS from a dealership before. They could not have taken apart the lense and cleaned it out. Anyways, it still misaligned. Those of you in the Toronto area, please do not go to Gyro Mazda for service.
