Apparently.... they are in stock and have been for a while, but the price is crazy high.
Based on their performance, they are worth maybe 10% of the asking price now.

He doesn't really expect to sell any at that price. He raises the price to keep the listing active when he's out of stock. As soon as them are available they'll be price as before.

10% based on what performance? 🤷

Blinker is very dim almost, dangerously dim.

I had a pair. I spent nearly $800 then and while I was trying to justify the blinker's lack of intensity, I could not live with water finding its way into the light.
The right one was leaking. After washing the car, or any rain, would result in anywhere from mist to several ml of water collected on the bottom of the passenger side taillight.

The brake light was great.
The parking light - a bit too intense with comparison to the brake, but still ok-ish.
Blinker - as I said, way too dim. You could "kinda" see it at night with the brake on, while on a sunny day - almost impossible to see.

I was thinking of maybe swapping OEM 718 internals - there are cheap ones on eBay, damaged (cracked lens or broken tabs). All LED functional. So taking the blinker out and swapping to this assembly could be the way to go, but in the end that would be way over $1000 taillight project (about 200 per side plus 800 plus my time)...

So I am back to what I had.

I've had mine 3+ years. Never leaked or fogged up, they work great and Im puzzled by your blinker light problem. You either got a defective set or bought an inferior brand that someone passed off as the good ones. You say the blinker is hard to see at night. Here's a pic I just took, 10am, sunny day with the garage door open right behind the camera/car. They're really much brighter in the dark. 🤷
