I've had a set of these on for about 2 months. The silicone is already coming off. The driver hand one is half open. I highly recommend that you re-seal these yourselves if you intend on using them.
Note: In fairness my front bumper is a crappy replica and exerts an above average amount of pressure on these. However both the orange ones and OEM clear ones had no problem taking that, and they aren't sealed with a tiny line of silicone either.

Thanks for the heads up Wulf!

I bought some about 4-6 months ago, and just last week i saw one had water in it. I thought it was cracked but it was the sealing. I reseal them myself and now no problem. I dont know if can recommend anything from them again sadly.
Well, nothing lasts forever sadly.. But I must say, my new side markers look amazing! Compared to the OEM orange ones.. The better look it adds is worth the resealing if necessary.
Thanks again RotaryFX!
Note: they're the stealth sides, but I figured it'd fall in the same category, correct me if I'm wrong

Does anyone know if you can replace the bulb for the sidemarker on the 2010 RX8, of do you need to replace the entire housing...I was able to get the housing off but it looks like it is all glued together not allowing me to replace the bulb...I want to install leds...if only the housing is replaceable then where can I get the housing with leds already installed????

These things leaked since the first day i got them, i put up with it cuz i figured id just reseal them later. Go to reseal them only to find that both of the lenses were cracked and 'reglued' before i even got them. As i was takin the clear cover off one it just cracked in half completely without any force. Everything light related ive bought from them is junk, bulbs etc.. unfortunatly i cant find the clear black sides anywhere else so ill be forced to buy from them yet again.. just gona get the unassembled ones this time i guess...
I ordered some white ones and a couple of weeks after installing them, it rained. Half of the driver side housing was full of rain water and the water STAINED the white backing. I emailed rotaryfx and after about a week, they still haven't emailed me back.
So lucky I read his before buying there. Disappointed rotaryfx isnt more helpful or interested in rectifying their poor quality...... Makes me leery of ordering anything from them.
Where is the best place to buy the clear ones at the best price?
