New LED tail lights 69 Cuda

What is does say is that the manufacturer must ensure that the product meets the specifications fully. It also says that certification is required to put the DOT on the light. It also says that compliance is automatically implied once the item is offered for sale. Most importantly it also says that the manufacturer "should establish responsible action should a civil action arise". What is comes down to, is that the manufacturer is accepting all responsibility for any actions/lawsuits that may arise from an accident where their product is called into question as to legality/conformity.

Don't get me wrong. I love the product. I believe that they are better. I would be willing to purchase them. However, here, vehicles are failing inspections simply because the products used DO NOT have official DOT certification. If I was involved in a crash, and for some reason the other party brought up the lighting as being a problem, and I could not prove their compliance, would the manufacturer be able to prove it for me? If not, I COULD be liable. Not a chance I am willing to take on myself.
