Dissapointed LED Side markers..........

[Ibanezbass671]

So I just got these in the mail today.
Bought them off eBay, I haven't installed them yet, but already I'm dissapointed in the quality issues.
I've contacted the seller to let them know to check thier QC department.......

The two sets I ordered on Amazon came with those plastic screen protectors - like you see on new monitors. These look to be used!

So you basically asked a random Chinese seller among tens of thousands on eBay at random Chinese factory of tens of thousands to check QC.

If that statement seems overly silly, its suppose to.

Well I guess I get what I paid for.....set was only $24 a pair.....

Actually that statement is a bit misleading - I've gotten plenty of cheap chinese knock-offs that that are perfectly fine. Generally most stuff you buy is going to be Chinese anyhow, but just heavily marked up when you go through a retailer instead of buying "somewhat" direct like eBay / Amazon. (alibaba.com would be an example of actually buying direct)

For example I found a seller on Alibaba some time ago that was selling nearly identical looking ROAM 105L storage boxes. Molding design was the same, latches where slightly different, but construction designed same, but they were only something like $110 each as oppose to ROAM charging $360. ROAM is making a killing on those "overland" boxes.

Most of your gucci brand lighting is Chinese made, but "assembled in the USA".

Just send it back and get another one shipped out.

Quit buying Chinese made products.

Just remember when you put those lights on that remove the OE amber side reflector you should add amber side reflectors or the truck is technically not road legal. One of the cleanest options of that would be the AlphaRex headlights, for some reason they put reflectors in them and refuse to make a version without.

Like the Lincoln Nautilus?

Currently produced at Oakville Assembly, NA production will move to Ford in China where they currently build the Nautilus for other markets. Oakville Assembly was scheduled to be relocated to Mexico but will now be re-tooled to meet future EV needs.

Nobody cares.

These are $10 more, I guess, but they look great on my blacked out '22.

 

[SVTPaul]

I'd be more concerned about functional issues. Have you tried them yet? They look great on my RTR flares and blend right in but my driver side light didn't make it through one of our harsh winters without a few of the LED's in the strip dying. My expectations were low especially considering the cost so I bought two pairs to have a spare. Looks like I might need a set every year though lol

HAHA! When I clicked that link Amazon said "You bought this item" So yes, they look and work great, very bright and fit is perfect.

I care, and I am somebody. Also, police are not equally lenient in all areas and you never know when you could be in one of those places. I've had a car 100% electrically die when the reman alternator's voltage regulator died and blew the main fuses out on my car at night. Only way anyone saw the car was their lights in my reflectors.

There are reflectors in the headlights and the taillights.

Thank you.

For the very reason you’ve stated and so that parked vehicles can still be seen when it’s dark. Imagine the irony of a parked vehicle being deemed at fault in an accident claim.

They are important safety features but anyone buying these certainly doesn’t care. I love my black on black on black on black truck and I think those look way better, but there’s no way I’d mess with the side markers or tint my taillights.
