Mabett Smoked LED Tail Lights Are Here!

[Phimosis]

And if they're visible at a thousand feet to the rear doesn't matter if they're smoked or not.

The real issue is testing and documentation. CVC 26101.b says that aftermarket lights have to meet the criteria in 26104.a

26104.a says that before offering the product for sale, they have to lab test the item and have the data available to prove that their item is in compliance with the law. That is why the spray-on films are illegal. There is no way to get test data since each tail light shape is different and each end user can apply a different amount of spray.

So as long as they do the lab tests before offering them for sale, they should be legal.

This is what I got this morning.
Now if you want to take it up with Manett go for it.

I have zero interest in this product, so no reason to bring it up with Mabett. But I know they read this forum, so I figured I should mention it, in case they hadn’t thought about it.
FMVSS 571.108 S6.4.3 (b) specifies brightness according to Table V-c

As 0.3 candela….. measured at 3 meters (as specified under 571.108 Section 14.2.1.3).

The 1000 ft visual acuity check used by states is different than what the federal standards require. Meeting both federal and state standards is required for sale in each particular state.

Yes, it's a taillight warranty. When they can no longer see your taillights they are out of warranty.

I’ve heard horror stories of LEDs going out after a few months of buying them. That’s why I’m asking. Sorry you misunderstood.

What was the warranty listed on Amazon? I didn't see one when I looked at the link. Which would mean 30 day Amazon return policy.

Amazon did not offer one, but I’m pretty sure @MABETT could honor some realistic warranty for how expensive they are since they literally listed Amazon as the only place to purchase

We provide a warranty. If you encounter any issues, you can contact me for after-sales support.

I thought the same thing about the Santa Fe. Are they DOT approved?

DOT does not approve any lights. That stamp means the manufacturer states that it meets or exceeds DOT requirements. They don't inspect any lights.

Thank you for the support reassurance. I was really on the fence on everything, but if you’re willing to work with a customer for any issues that’s greatly appreciated.

I have seen many posts on Facebook about broken, bad parts from Mabett and no reply about warranty parts. I have bought from them but I did so with the impression that it was not warrantied. Since they don't list warranty on the listings I doubt there is one. They don't have an actual website they I have found so I am leary of spending much with them.
Edit: they answered you while I was typing but did not state what the warranty is.

All of our products come with a warranty. You can contact Mabett customer service directly on Amazon or reach out to me in the forum.
We now also have an official website: https://mabett4x4.com/

If it’s a product issue, we usually provide a replacement or a refund.

 

[MABETT]

Since you are now answering please clarify if the brake lights are red or amber. They show up amber in the video and photos.

They are red.

I would consider, if:

1. A non blacked out version was offered. They are illegal here.
2. Had the option to put my own LED backup bulb in. The LASFIT LED is crazy bright and I will not use anything else.
3. $199.00 max. Current price is too much to replace perfectly good running tail lights.

I’ve had these on my truck for a couple of months now, they are pretty slick.

Blacked out tail lights have been a factory thing since the 1979 Trans Am. Your state may be talking about people who install tint film over the tail lights.
