They sure are, but coming from South Korea for the exact same price that we ship them for from Los Angeles, CA.

You beat me to it.

I appreciate that and everyone has different experiences with vendors. It’s difficult to make everyone happy all of the time. We all make mistakes.

I’m fully aware, and you’re very welcome.

Exactly, sometimes mistakes and delays happen with manufacturers, and we cannot always make everyone happy all of the time, very good point!!

Back in June 2021 I picked up the new upgraded set of sequential lights, after my old set had some LEDs burn out.

I'd like to report that they have held up great for the last 2 years, no LEDs have burnt out.

My set of lights from June 2021 finally had a cluster of LEDs stop working. For the fun of it, I pulled it apart. It doesn't look like any water got inside, but I did find a single dead LED in a cluster of 3.

I ordered up a new set and can report that current units still look and blink identically. The only difference I noticed is that the electronic module now come pre-sealed with some sort of glue around the shrink tubing. This means you can't easily re-solder the wires, and you will need to use some sort of external splice.

Since the LEDs look the same, I didn't bother replacing both of my sides. I figure I'll keep using my other side as long as it lasts, and wait to replace it until it actually has a problem.

I figure I'll just treat these as a consumable, and replace them every few years when they burn out.
