    Anyone have issues with the 3rd brake light screws corroding? I have a 2021 platinum that is about 2 1/2 months old and noticed this today.

    Yup, my 2020 has the same issue, noticed it when i installed VLED cargo lights, just cleaned them with a bronze brush and called it a day.

    Did you get the Non-RF Vleds bulbs? I am not impressed with them at all. The Vleds HO bulbs that I had in before the swap were a hell of alot brighter.

    I did get the non-RF ones. I replaced the stock halogens with some spare LED bulbs I had, they were barely brighter, then replaced those LEDs with the non-RF VLEDs, and for the price and my needs, they’re plenty bright.

    I'm thinking about sending them back. They are nowhere near as bright as the other Vleds that I took out. Even with the switch off, I don't always get the other doors unlocked when hitting the fob twice. It did not do this until I installed the non-RF bulbs. I think I'll just put the other ones back in and leave the switch off.
