LCI tail lights from rock auto

Does anyone have any experience with lci tail lights from rock auto? They're significantly cheaper compared to OEM but are there noticeable differences in terms of light output, appearance, and longevity?

I bought some TYC LCI tails when one of my OEM ones decided to stop working properly (one row of LEDs stopped working). I purchased from Amazon. It was a bad experience. I ordered both left and right sides and they ended up sending me one with a red signal, and one with an amber turn signal (euro). I ended up installing the red one to match my OEM left side, but you can tell that the lights aren't as bright as OEM. Less than 1 week later, the LEDs on the TYC taillight stopped working. I ended up sending both taillights back for a full refund. The entire process took several weeks and it was frustrating to drive around with a half functioning OEM taillight. I ended up purchasing a brand new OEM taillight from ECS Tuning for triple the cost, but it works perfectly and looks great.

Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
