Default switchback DRL and Corvette Mods

I need to replace one of my Switchback DRLs and Corvette Mods is the only place I can find them. However, I have read a lot of negative feedback on this forum about CM. Any opinions on this retailer, good or bad? Or is there any other place to purchase these lights?

TIA,

Shakey

No problems here...3-4 orders and one return with no issues. The Radio Flyer is a lighting expert with a good reputation.

So you are saying 3-4 orders from corvette mods or radio flyer?

The radio flyer has them. I have also had goodluck with Corvette Mods. About 3-4 orders with no problems. I usually order through ebay because for some reason the same parts are cheaper on there.

Because you are paying for "mod points". When you buy direct off corvettemods website, you get these mod points to redeem on future purchases. Basically paying ahead for parts.

You know I totally forgot about the mod points, so yea you made a good point about why it may be cheaper on ebay. I guess if you buy from them often then the mod points are worth it.

Think of it as a layaway plan. You give them extra money to "hold" for you. Or think of it as prepaying for your next purchase.

Diode Dynamics out of Earth City (St. Louis) MO. They make their own bulbs in house. Top notch. Little high but the old adage you get what you pay for applies. They've got a web site. Diodedynamics.com. Check out their corvette line of bulbs.

I've purchased from Corvette Mods in the past. Wasn't too pleased with the product (low beam and foglight ballasts plus bulbs). Ballasts for fogs have crapped out after a year. Got free replacements, but hate having to mess with reinstalling constantly. They seem like nice folks, just think they have lower quality stuff and not the lowest prices...maybe through Ebay though.

I've gotten all my lighting upgrades (bi-xenons, LED conversion kit, LED fogs) from radioflyer. No order issues, excellent support if you have a question.

No need to rehash the Corvette Mods issue. Plenty of threads in Transactions Feedback on this. Besides this is a nearly four year old thread. :
