Sometimes I like being in a "Hot Country" as Audi codes Australia. We simply don't get the corrosion of any parts of a car here. I have never seen or heard of a rusty suspension component and car bodies only really show surface rust after about 30years here.

Unhappily the sun makes the tail lamp lenses crack and go brittle. So there is a flipside of the coin.

What brand of LED lamp did you use for the plate lights?
