You can get a set of those boots for 8 bucks on Ali. Not sure anyone wants to fish all their tailgate wiring to replace it though.

And that's the rub. The amount of wiring you'd have to undo to replace a simple $8 boot is just not worth it.
Nice, mine are VLands so they have the little "dots" in the outers that are in between the horizontal lines. Looks kinda funky as I would prefer them not to be there, and look like yours instead. Guess we'll see how long this bothers me before I get OEM assemblies.

Out of curiosity, is the motivation for these primarily the dynamic turn signal? Or you just like the style more than the stock NAR 7.5 LEDs? I personally find the individual squares on the euros to look a bit outdated compared to the solid bar on the NARs, but the overall aesthetic is quite nice (and the dynamic signal is sick, obviously.)
For me it was the horizontal LED illumination style, and the dynamic turns. Once you see it in person, you want it lol. Easiest no-brainer of the year.
Both. I think the combination of solid bar with the individual squares looks snazzy. The stock 7.5 lights are a huge step up from the stock 7 lights, but I still think the euro 7.5 LEDs are the best looking style.
Plus dynamic turns are great.
While these lights have held up like ol' faithful, if we can get the updated lights with the startup animation that I'm sure will be polarizing on @dtfd's car, I might buy a set of those.
Man. The one cost cutting measure going from the 7 to the 7.5 but I really bugs me...
The rear view mirror.
The 7 had a frameless auto dimming mirror, while the one in the 7.5 is still auto dimming, it isn't frameless.
It's one of those minor things that you don't think you would notice, but I notice that every single time I drive the car lol.
Luckily, a swap shouldn't be too difficult or expensive if I really wanted.

I think it’s one of those port-installed options rather than related to a trim or model. I’ve seen S’s that had the frameless homelink mirror, and Autobahns with the regular manual one. But yeah if yours already autodims it should be hella easy to swap in the frameless one since the wiring part is already done.
