Packing was decent but it doesn&#8217;t need to be a pro job. Came via USPS in a standard box.<\/p>\n<p>first of all, I already have an LED light in my boot. IT&#8217;s this one that I bought from ECS &#8211; https:\/\/www.ecstuning.com\/ES2863506\/ $11.99 and made by Ziza. This is what that light looks like (taken in August)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100%; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/416\/20318587790_92a21b674c_b.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100%; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1479\/25105151869_f7d63d27fc_b.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nI ordered from DeAutoKey in hopes theirs was a bit brighter. if not, I planned on returning it. I was amazed to see this (Ziza Bottom, DeAutoKey Top)<br \/>\nZiza has 8 LED lights and the DAK has between 12-16 lights and has a protective rear metal housing and overall the snap-in to the rear plastic was way more tight than the Ziza. Overall, this feels like a $30 part and the Ziza feels like a $5 part. The difference is huge especially when you look at the amount of light!!!!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100%; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1686\/25105152519_ab089ec39b_b.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\">DeAutoKey:<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100%; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1701\/25472721795_cfa0680e32_b.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\">Here&#8217;s the packaging:\u00a0<\/span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 100%; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1610\/25379856281_13afbaf56f_b.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re in need of brighter rear boot lights, I&#8217;d go DAK over Ziza and pay the extra cost.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DeAutoLED LED Trunk\/Boot Housing - MK7 Hatchback Lighting\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bosVowpkOds?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I ordered this from DeAutoKey $29 and it shipped the same day from New York for anyone interested&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-31T00:02:14Z","apple_news_api_id":"20005542-a107-40b6-a532-ed7b42a100a8","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-31T00:02:14Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AIABVQqEHQLalMu17QqEAqA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[145],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-my-car","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1s3","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5585,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/03\/11\/my-car-deautokey-reverse-led-euro-taillight-replacement\/","url_meta":{"origin":5583,"position":0},"title":"My Car: DeAutoKey Reverse LED Euro Taillight Replacement","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"March 11, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"I have the Euro-Spec LED Taillights that are OEM, I purchased them from ECS.
