Got the box took it to my trusted body shop they opened it and said that no one would install it sent it back and instead of them sending my money back they are claiming that one was damaged even though it was still wrapped in what they sent it in and they have them and I don't have my money back

Can you site where GM has said
that. I would like to read it. For
a $65,000 car, I would like to
know how they back their
products. Thx!

mine are terrible. I tried sanding/buffing, etc with no luck. I'm going to pull them and shot them with some clear, with a slick black tint just to see how they do. If no good, i'll order some new lenses.

I don't think you can get the lenses separate.

The dealer here allows two and a half hours to R&R the headlights.

Google will give a ton of info.

This is what GM and the dealer will fall back on when disallowing warranty on the headlights. Right or wrong many here have posted non favorable results in trying to get headlights replaced.

A few have had good results but was usually under dealer good will. Do a search on here for headlight warranty or simply call your local dealer.

Sent you a PM explaining how to pursue this matter with the vendor if you wish.
