Unboxing and installation of aftermarket tail lights from Vland. Bought them on eBay for a decent price. Didn’t come with instructions so I was figuring it out as I went. Lights: www.ebay.com/i... Instrumental: Platinum Sellers Beats
ATTENTION: I have a 2010 SRT8 with every optional package for that year which includes a factory custom kicker in the trunk. In order to reach the left taillight, it is held by just one bolt. Once taking that off you should have enough room to unplug the left taillight with no need to unplug the wires that connect the amp. Also in order to take off the corner taillights there is a plastic panel on the exterior to remove that are held by 3 tabs in order to remove the light. The main middle taillight is also held by two bolts on both corners next to a plastic trim piece. It’s hidden pretty well so make sure you view it from the side of the car. My challenger does not have a trunk release button so there is no need to strip wires and such, simply plug and play. Either than that everything should be the same process as in this video. Hope this answers some questions or concerns. Thanks and subscribe to my channel!
Thanks bro I gotta 2014 I’m finna do this to and you gave me the confidence to work on it myself. The more I save doing it myself the more parts I can toss on my baby 🤘🏾
🙌🏾 Preciate it bro and that’s what’s up💪🏾They make the back end look a whole lot better. Got a decal from luxe to go between the tail lights. Vid coming soon
@@russellmuscleatl Hi Russell , Randy here. I'm stuck , and can really use your help. Where do I find the green and white wires on my car that connect with the yellow and black wires on the new taillight. Please and thank you
@@russellmuscleatl sorry , not sure if I understand , are you referring to two of the three wires behind the trunk latch at the bottom of the trunk lid?
I purchased these taillights. After 2 years the plastic cracked and looked like garbage. I contacted VLAND. They said there is no warranty for this. Just be warned
That’s what’s up bro! Just a heads up, I heard from a few people shipping is taking longer. But I can’t wait to see the finish product when you done with it🏁
Russell Muscle thank you! I appreciate that. I bought from a seller on eBay that showed it would be here within a week. I saw some say September or later. I hope it really is in a week lol. The seller put the headlights and taillights together as a package deal. Then I’ll need the hood and rims like you did lol. Are you planning on switching out the front and rear bumpers to the new style also? Maybe a hellcat grille?
Nathan TV Oh ok cool! I got my tail lights there which came quick but my headlights directly from vland and it took a lil longer. But that’s good to hear🙏🏾 hopefully they come quick. I was planning on it but have to get some stuff in place with the family first.
Russell Muscle thank you! Yes! Priorities for sure. Good job on that. I hope the funds show up quick. I’m still debating. Do I go for a hellcat or demon look.
Great video! I did the Vland head lights and taillights on my 2010 Challenger and I'm really happy the way it turned out and looks now. Also did the side markers in tinted LED lights. Any problems with the lights not working after awhile or the paint fading around the housing like I've seen in a couple other videos about the Vlands?
Thanks bro! That’s what’s up 💪🏾 definitely looks a lot better with the upgraded lights. Mine are still functioning and look as they did when I got them. Just put a hellcat bumper on so I’ll show everything in the next video.
I got em on mine, but sadly I don't think the build quality is worth almost $600. Two days later and the passenger light is completely dead. You had any issues yet?
You're like the 4th person I heard complain about the lights not working after a few days and having to send them back. I think that I'll pass. They look so sick though.
Bought the same vland headlights and taillight , for the headlights , not able to find a bulb that will correctly in the headlight and have the same plug . For the taillight , brake light is not working if the hazards are on . The turn signal are very fast ( only the 2 on the corners are working , the middle one which is also working as reverse is not working with turn signal ) , any advise
For the headlights they recommend h7 bulbs but if you read through the comments here there are some better suggestions. As for the taillights, as long as you wired them correctly it may be a defect. Im sure you probably did already but I would recheck the wires. I’m no pro but I haven’t had any issues like that with mine. Hope you figure out 🙏🏾
You can cut the wires and take the plugs off your old ones then connect them to the wires from the new one. I would take one light off first to make sure they fit.
@@russellmuscleatl ok Kool just got me a pair for my 13 rt wasn't sure if I wanted to keep them because I was hearing some stories about the clear coat peeling on them but I see you had yours for a while before you sold it so I'll keep them and hopefully I don't have that problem with mine congratulations on the hellcat too...
What is your word on 2 years later with these tailights ?? Still functional as when installed or if any issues what are they. Nice video, liked the simplicity you put into it. Thanks
Here’s a short of the car I took last week. Everything is still functioning like new. You’re welcome and thanks Mark 🤝 ru-vid.com3xTWWFmVMk4?feature=share
Naw you good.. My car was rear ended before I bought it and whoever did the body work didn’t do a good job. Didn’t notice till after I got home and it wasn’t on the car fax
They aren’t bright right? I have the smoked pair and on a Sunday they aren’t bright at all. The look is awesome don’t get me wrong but it’s just cheap quality
Thanks for the reply man! One more question. I want to upgrade the lights for the front and tail. After the new bumper kits would I be looking for 2015+ model lights or facelift lights made for 2008-14?
That’s fire man! What year is your challenger? I have a 09. White. Also how do they look when the lights are off. Like I’m the day time. Are the fascia still red?
Preciate it bro and it’s a 13. That’s what’s up! Here’s how it look now and you can see the lights in daylight ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_uGyOFr6NG4.html
YSG BOSS Yeah their communication bad bro. Me and others had the same thing and the lights just showed up one day. All you can do is wait on them. I haven’t heard anybody not getting theirs they just don’t give you any tracking info
Al_426 I think I showed it in the video. Would have to go back and watch because it been a while since the install. I do remember running the wires under the cloth on the trunk to hide them better
Damn bro I took a major L this year, i could’ve get a clean cheap 2010-2014 challenger but got a damn kia 🤦🏽♂️, anyways bro, I appreciate this post 🙌🏾
Russell Muscle dang!! I opened the taillights! Appears fed ex damaged them! The middle section plastic is broken at the end. They left the box on my porch standing vertically in the end where it was broken. I contacted seller. I have to send a picture and they are going to send it to there warehouse. We shall see. I’ll just have to put on headlights first then.
Russell Muscle thank you! I’m sure they will. Seller seemed very responsive. I believe it may be an official Vland eBay account. If they end up coming back and offering a deep discount, I would take it. I could gorilla glue the it. It’s in an area I don’t think would ever show.
Did you had to buy a plastic hardness for the side light to fit or you just installed them directly I wanna do the same on my 09 challenger. But not sure if the rear lights is all ima need to install .
That’s what’s up! They install directly.. just take the old ones out and they bolt in place. One of mine was a lil off because the car was in accident before I bought it and they did bad body work

Ay bro I installed these last month , and the trim piece that you have to transfer over from old tail lights doesn’t sit flush at all you have this problem ?
What’s up bro, naw mine overlap it a little. I thought mine was just off. After I installed the luxe decal I realized the aftermarket light is more narrow than the factory. The decal that fits 2015+ in the middle of the brake lights was a little too tall for the vlands also.
Yeah it do bro.. Either the car was rear ended before or somebody left it in neutral and it hit something. But they could of did better with the body work. Preciate it 💪🏾🏁
@@russellmuscleatl I didn't know if was the kit or what because I seen a few others the same way. Wonder if there is any way to tweak the lights a little
@@soulsnatcher9228 oh ok, I haven’t noticed anyone else’s. It’s a bigger gap on one side of my trunk and I can the rear panel off. But you can adjust it and it should be straight
She Someone Special Yeah I just looked back at my eBay and it says their location in China. But I paid on April 3rd and it shows they were delivered April 8th. I guess they have a location here but make them there. Hard to tell which location you buying from off their site. Taillights came quick(ebay), headlights took a min(their site). And they go by “V auto zone” on eBay.
She Someone Special I think their only shipping from China even on there now. Before it said shipping would take a week. Now it’s saying as late as August 18th.
Nick Flu Mine took around a week but it was shipping from a location in the US back then(pre virus). Now since the virus, I see all their locations(eBay) say it’s coming from China. It’s a few ppl on here waiting for theirs also.
Russell Muscle np! And also the PayPal I sent the money to had a bunch of Chinese letters in his name I was just wondering if yours was the same or not. Just wanna make sure it’s the same person or if it’s a new dude
Wow, they are really nice and like them a lot. I've been looking at the headlights by them for SRT8, and wanted to see these to. How are they holding up so far, I was reading a review and somebody said that the finish was coming off in some places after a few months
She Someone Special That’s what’s up and yeah this their website. You can email them to confirm the got your order but they should of sent a confirmation email or something smh that’s how they did me when I ordered the headlights though so you should be good.
