Okay here we go.
I first order my headlights and sent him money on Nov.8 2011. We spoke on the phone about what I wanted. He told me since I wanted clear side markers and a light smoke on the headlight they would be aftermarket(made in Taiwan by the way, I did know this before). I was okay with that as long as they fit and worked properly. I was promised they would.
After weeks and months of emailing (because he wouldn't return my calls). Every email was "working on them" "waiting on parts" "my computer crashed"....etc.
Finally after waiting 6 months I received the lights. At first they looked great until I went to install them. The headlight housing had a gap of 5-6 mm where they meet the fenders.
After comparing them to my OEM headlight I found part of the problem. The two plastic pin (with the metal pins screwed into them) were 6 mm too long. So I trimmed those and refit the lights. Still had some gap and right along the middle of the housing there is a gap.
Where he had glued them together at the end of the housing it was way too thick, so it was contacting the fender.
I emailed him about the issue, his response was you need to get some who knows what they are doing....WTF? I just installed a TVS blower on my car. I am a BMW Master Tech and an ASE Master tech with over 10 years experience. Yeah I need help installing headlights.......:dw:
After several emails all he would do was say well you asked for aftermarket headlights and its your fault the aim adjusters broke. No it wasn't they broke due to shitty quality parts and they were not at there max travel ethier when they broke.
I forgot to add. When I finally got the fit acceptable, I checked the aim.
They were both pointed to the ground and to the center of the car.
Just added that because he said the aim should be perfect. Yeah okay.
Funny how professional and nice he was before when taking my 615 dollars. Now he is just being an ass.
I asked if I could return them, since I had so many issues with them. He said no.
I emailed and asked about warranty or getting them repaired. Told me no.
So I waited 6 months and paided 615 dollars for headlights that look great on the outside, but fit and perform like shit.
So the only thing I can do is dispute the charge with my CC company. Luckily I paid with that instead of using my checking account or I would be completely screwed.
I checked google and found a few people who had issues with their lights and he did the same thing to them. Told them to screw off.
Just wanted to give everyone a fair warning.
Hopefully I will get my money back.
