Evo VII Tail light...Fake or Real

I have a pair of VII Tail lights that are having a strange problem. The center bulbs (taillight only) heat is causing the circular lens to deform. It's starting to look like a Pringle Potato chip on one side. The taillight on the other side is in the early stages of doing the same thing. I checked the bulbs, and they are the correct wattage.

I purchased the set from a member who claims to have bought them from a reputable company that uses this site. I called the company with the name of the purchaser, and they confirmed that he bought the set.

The Tail Lights are made by Stanley

Does anyone know if this is the original Mitsu Tail Light vendor?

I tend to think these are the real thing. If that is the case I don't understand why this would be happening...
