Any interest in leds tails

[SASHO91]

Holy crap!
The wiring job looks to be done by an eight year old. I mean, seriously.... Couldn't you have ATLEAST used butt splices???

*shakes head*

I would ask for a re-fund, and call it at that....

EDIT: Im not trying to sound mean... but I mean c'mon...

 

[kzoosho]

For one i would never send out lights looking like that. How did they get cracked that bad? Also the wiring was soldered not buttspliced. IF you want a refund please send them back beacause that is really messed up there.Also those lights that i sent out were in perfect working order and was no were like that. U seen the pics of what they looked like . And u know they werent mine since i dont have the extra lights. i will have to find new lights all together and make a new set as those are shot. Just send them back and i will refund you your money for them.

I bubble wrapped and newspapered the snot out of them so i dont know how this happened.

Yikes, something happened to those lights alright...

I'm not going to comment much on anything else, but if you guys are going to run these (or any LED lights for that matter), skip those load resistors. They're junk and basically a bandaid to stop the hyper blink.
You want a electric flasher modual, cost about $8-12 and do it right.

It also cleans up the wiring a lot as well.

I wasn't talking about your packaging method, obviously there was something that happened during shipping. I was talking about all the black electrical tape, if you're going to be selling these, you may want to think about the quality of the connection. YES, i know you soldered them, and that IS a good thing, but i would think shrink tubing would be 1)much better protection from outside "problems", and 2)much more of a professional "look". i couldn't think of tubing before, maybe shrink "wrap" was the wrong word. good luck with these, once you get it all sorted out, i will definitely be thinking of getting a set or two.

Whats really messed up is that there are members here that seen those lights before they were shipped and tryed to steal them off of my car. They worked great and looked damn good. Im getting screwed here as i have to foot the bill here . A couple people that i have spoke with have different views on what to do and i am still trying to figure out what i am going to do. I still haev 4 more sets to finish up.

You're thinking of heat shrink.

yup, thats it!!



kzoo, why would you have to foot the bill??? i would definitely contact the shipping company and have THEM foot the bill.

Actually, right now I am the one at a loss since I spent $170. for these lights (150. plus 20. plug n play and supplied cores). As the pics show what I have is far from what I expected, a working set of lights like I saw in the thread. No reason to go into it further. If you bought a pair of these and must have more info pm me.

You made up a great looking mod. I am willing to accept them (see below) which speaks for itself. I would have done some of the work differently myself, but not the issue here. If they look good (no cracks), and work (and last) who cares.

I took all the disconnected or broken wires and held them where they belong. Doing this the lights function fine (all sections turn on, brake and turn signal works). I’ll share in the time or cost to fix them up, although I don’t feel that’s my responsibility at all. If you want to send me a set of cores (not cracked, not scratched up, in nice like new shape) at your expense I will switch the wiring over myself. Or if you prefer I will accept a partial refund and get the tail light cores myself (reimburse me my cost to buy them). I also need at least one led since one is burnt out. Or if you want I will accept a full refund and then return them to you. My opinion, any choice is more than fair. Whatever we do I want to take care of it right away. Let me know.

Still Waiting To Resolve This

Well, a few of you have pm’d me asking about what’s happened with these led tail lights. So I thought I would bring anyone interested up to date and apologize for this long post.

Since my last post in this thread Brian and I have exchanged e-mails. Or I should say I have sent him emails and pm’s over the past three plus weeks to avoid posting in the thread. Although he has responded a few times, my last email and pm from Friday the 8th (which was sent because I had not heard from him in the prior 8 days) has now been unanswered and ignored for 5 days. I say ignored since he has been on the forum after my pm and the email was sent with a deliver receipt and he has not responded.

Brian has publicly said he will make things right and give me a refund. When I asked for $50. to cover the cost of getting new tail light cores Brian offered me $40. Brian said he can get new ones for $50.and they are available on ebay for $20. each. Well do the math $20. x 2 plus shipping equals $50. I can’t buy anything locally close to $40. so send me good cores! (Remember I also offered to move the wiring myself from the broken cores to new ones, at my time and expense). Brian then said he would take care of it. Pressing Brian for details he said he bought a pair of tail lights off ebay and wanted the seller to send them directly to me, but the seller was reluctant since he only wanted to send to the buyer’s confirmed address (I myself have a confirmed paypal address but was not the buyer). So the 8 days goes by and I send the email and pm I referred to above which has been ignored for another 5 days.

So, I had hoped from the pics I posted everyone could see the lack of quality and poor workmanship on the led tail lights by Brian without direct insult on someone’s workmanship which would not be right. Yes, a great mod, but it is a worthless piece of junk when they arrive broken, in pieces and don’t work. Now I will offer everyone a direct answer about them. If you think you want them, think again. If you ordered them ask for a refund. His word means nothing. Brian promised not to use cracked or broken cores, but later admits he did. Brian twice promised to send them when they were done, but forgot for two weeks even with email and pm reminders from me. Brian has ****** me around for a month since I received them. Brian too bad you couldn’t spring for the $3.00 to insure them with the USPS which would have avoided all this (like I insured the cores I sent to you).

I feel I have been more than fair and patient. I offered three solutions for Brian to pick from and have waited more than long enough (a paypal refund takes about a minute even when you are busy or it’s only two days ups or usps from Brian to me). I feel Brian has in effect stolen my $170. So, barring a FULL REFUND where I will then send him back this junk (sorry Brian you have used up your trust and good name here) you all will see a few things. First and obvious is a post submitted to the forum’s Hall of Shame. I will include a chronological list of the facts from email and pm’s. To be followed by 1/ an ebay listing to sell them, 2/ a forum ad to sell them, 3/a post to the GLSS about the sale, and 4/a web page dedicated to the led tails. They will be offered for sale as I received them and with their original box and packing. Of course all of these will give full credit to Brian himself as the maker of his led tail lights I received, and to include all his public contact information should anyone else want to buy direct from him. Then I will follow up his fraud with a PayPal notification, to the IC3 for internet fraud and see if the USPIS (USPS) is interested since Brian used them. How about a road trip to your up coming car show to sell them there, who knows where you might see your tail lights.

Brian I understand you are a well known forum member with a good reputation (which was one of the reasons I bought your tail lights). Who knows what makes a good person go bad. Brian, sorry to be such a **** in doing this but you can only thank yourself. Now only you can avoid it with an immediate, full refund not your broken promise after promise.

This REALLY needs to be taken care of Brian.

 

[0V3RC10CK3D]

Yea...I no longer feel like purchasing a pair if this is what happens.

 

[Bizzy]

I'm a little surprised that sales was allowed to continue in this section. I'll allow the thread to remain for now but eventually it's going to find it's way to the "Hole" after (assuming) Brian makes things right with shoson. Any future sales of this nature should be in the classified area as this thread and ones similar to it are not fair to those who follow the proper channels to sell things here on the forum.

 

[kzoosho]

Being taken care of now. Just to let you know my paypal account was locked because some one tried to access it. But i am resolving Brad and erik now. Sorry for the wait man .

Bizzy,

Since I bought them, and so far Brian is mia, pm me and I will pay for an ad that would have covered my purchase (although I am looking for a full refund). I can’t say if I am the only one who bought or not.

 

[kzoosho]

Check your email. you have mail from me. Also Brad too.

What a suprise, today after my posts in hall of shame, contacting members and glss I hear from Brian. He sent me $45. via paypal. Brian this was never agreed upon as a fair refund amount and anyways you offered a FULL refund in this thread and that is what I have now asked for. I paid $170. so you are still short $125. Please pay up.

Yea, you haven't been on much since you read my post from 06/12/2007. Anyways I HAVE been emailing and pm'ing you but you have choosen to ignore me.
