Replaced third brake light on my 2023 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige after the upper liftgate-mounted CHMSL had three LED elements burned out and I failed state inspection. Vaz confirmed the GV70 trim and mounting location specifically. Sourced from a 2023 GV70 3.5T Sport Advanced donor (same year, similar trim, same upper liftgate mounting). All LED elements functional, lens crystal clear, gasket sealing perfect. Installed myself in 35 minutes following the liftgate trim removal process. Pass
