So what is the difference than these Suncoast Porsche is elling for $165 for the set? I can in no way believe these are aftermarket from a dealer.

Ditto - Do not pay $329. You can get the real thing without the markup on a markup.

i still think that a chance that both of your tail lights will fail at the same time, at night, and a person will rear end you at the same time, is very small, slim to none in my opinion.

I agree - and honestly, the taillight assembly is not what I would call a complex part - nor something that would be prone to failure. In my opinion, I think this is a silly item to try preaching an OEM/safety line to....

Nope, those are not aftermarket - OEM. Wish I knew how they could do it - that's literally about what we pay in cost for one lamp...the struggles of a small business...
