Acceptable or Not?
I recently ordered a set a of dark tails from my dealer and they have finally arrived. I noticed one light has some scratches on interior part of the lense. The same light also has a piece of what looks to be a shaving of metal inside the lense. You can’t see the scratches unless you are underneath them, but they are there. Is this something that you guys would accept or send back?

It’s hard to tell from the pictures but I might be more concerned about the shavings than the scratches. If you bought them through the dealer then I’d be recommend that you return them but only you can decide if you’re willing to wait the extra time for a replacement.

Return them. They're too expensive to accept imperfections and the shavings inside might cause more damage as time goes on. A little effort now could eliminate headaches later.

I bought them out of state but was told I can bring them to any dealer as long as I have the invoice sheet. I’ll be returning them this week. Thanks for the feedback, guys!

looks like they were already returned by someone else.

As already said bring them back
Were they still boxed when you picked them up? I have a set of OEM red ones from the dealer, each one was individually boxed (sealed) and very well protected inside the box |

Both tail lights arrived in one big box. They were in bags. I’ve noticed some very fine scratches on the lens too. I thought new tail lights were supposed to have green tape over the lens to protect them?

Yep, what everyone else said: Bring them back!
If I was dropping that kind of coin, they should be in "new shape" not even the scratches would be acceptable! |

Are those supposed to be genuine GM smoked rear taillights? Because that’s not how the ones I put on my SS 1LE came from the dealer when I ordered them. The packaging was different. I sold the factory red taillights and put them in the same boxes the GM smoked tail lights came in. The GM stickers on the boxes are for the smoked tail lights, for reference.

In hindsight, those scratches would buff out easily, but the shavings are of concern. Returning it was your best and safest choice. EDIT: heck, I've found the boxes in the basement, here's what they looked like back in 2018. The box for the right side tail is similar, of course.
