why would clear tails fail more often than red?

 

They don't. All of them fail. I even have the updated ones which have the vent and they still got condensation.

 

If only there was a US-based supplier for this retrofit...

 

The worst part is those rear tail lights are made in around Toronto, Canada. Magma or something like that make them

 

I have DivinaTech tail lights bought a while ago for my V8 Vantage. I did have some condensation issues but minor and since I don't drive in the rain or hit the rear lights with water when washing the car it was not a huge deal. The reason I decided on the DivinaTech tail lights is I saw an ad for used lights from a 2016 Vantage in London for $600USD! So, I had the owner drop off the lights at DivinaTech for the conversion, eliminating having to ship my lights to England. When I got the lights and saw some minor wiring required, for another $150 I had the lights professionally installed. As far as the tariffs, I can't remember the exact cost but it was far less than I expected (less than $100), at the time which was when Trump really had high initial Tariffs. Maybe because the parts were used? Anyway, when I got in October, my 2016 'Timeless Certified' V12S from Park Place Aston Martin the car came compete with two tail lights showing severe condensation - so much for the 'Timeless Inspection'. So I switched the V8 Vantage sequential lights to the V12S and my resealed units back on the V8 Vantage. There is another advantage of the sequential lights. I'm that guy who never uses the turn signals (bad habit), but with the sequential lights I make it a point to use them always. This spring I'll reseal the V12S lights and sell them, so my overall costs will be very low.

How do you mean "some minor wiring required"?

 

I bought a used set of tail light and would like to modify them and install sequential lights in them so maybe down the road I might be able to offer that service if I ever have time to work on that

 

Looking at the install (Cliff Note Version), Lights and Ignition - Off -- Plug in new wire into two unused ports on the light connector following picture -- squeeze the new wire into the existing grommet -- Connect to the proper fuse. Most novice people can do the work, to me the $150 to have a professional change the lights and do the wiring was worth not making a mistake. When I switched cars I had to order a new wiring kit $20.

 

looks like the Davinatech website is littered with 404 error pages... are they on face book or instragram?
