Ok, I got my refund and my "new lights" however, how are you supposed to install these things? The WHOLE point of me even buying from this vendor was that it was supposed to be a turn key, plug and play solution.


The lights he sent me doesnt fit anything. I'm pretty pissed, and yes...I got them for free but id of paid 2x the price for the lamps just to fit in the first place.


This is a joke on me as a consumer. Worst company i've delt with besides Digital Designs.

I've got two lights, two transformers, and nothing that fits. Thanks

I appreciate that the vendor was stand up on the issue, but I still have a product that doesnt work.

Wow. Well, you can't complain too much, they were free. Maybe that's why you got non fitting lights...they were free.

Can you post a picture of what you received? I bought a set last year and other than some wiring issues that were due to GM, everything was plug & play.

These are the fogs right? Please don't take this the wrong way, but you do know That they come out of that plastic housing & then go into your car. The biggest pain that I had was the wiring. It is particular to the way they are inserted into the stock wiring.

I've been reading this thread and trying not to say anything - oh well.

You got a FREE Fog Light Kit because you had to wait. Did I say FREE? I think that was generous even if they did screw up your order. When was the last time you got something free because you weren't satisfied?

But your still not happy. Now it's someone elses fault that you don't know you have to remove the packaging before installing the lights?

Wow!

Did you contact the company for advice?

Good Luck to You!

You have to brake and remove the plastic...carefully (use pliers) and do not touch the bulb

Sorry but...

Are you freaking kidding me? I hope you never buy an intake manifold, You'll never get that cardboard box it comes in to fit under your hood.
