I got a response from Alibaba seller but waiting on some additional details. I don’t have WeChat so I guess a dead end there.
Hopefully the Alibaba seller gets back to me with answers

Bro it’s worth it to find a mandarin speaking friend. After some bargaining I got the price down to $305/ set before shipping, which is $150 for all 3 sets by UPS. But I’m in Asia so cost of shipping is a lot less than to USA

That’s usd355 shipped per set

Pretty sure it’s the same product. AliExpress platform is targeted to end user and pricing/ platform interface reflects that. Alibaba is more of a B2B platform, but the pricing is accordingly lower

Yeah I’m getting a better price for sample set from Alibaba. She’s chatting with me right now. Shipping is $140 via FedEx. Seems high to states.

I just bought another set on Alibaba too. Total came out to $638 shipped. 480 for lights, 140 for fedex shipping, and 18 for debit card transaction fees.

We'll see if theres any difference with the one that the Aliexpress seller is selling. Betting they're the exact same though.

But the thing with Alibaba seller is they're out of stock right now. She told me end of November is when they'll have more and 10 days to get to the US. So will have that set in mid December and the set from Aliexpress on December 1.

I didn’t get any. I tried to get at $305, they said “no” lol
Alibaba last price was $390. Told her $305 from Aliexpress and she said “Ibdont think so” and stopped talking to me 🤣

They saw too much demand so good luck on anyone getting super deals now

Why? Are you aware of an issue that we are not?

I don’t think there will be issues. I’m running an aftermarket kit on mine and it’s only caught fire twice.

The main thing I'm concerned about is the longevity of the LED's. I've had aftermarket tail lights on other cars in the past and they only last a year or two at max.
