Ok.. so... without checking here first, I went and ordered a set of headlights for my LX coupe. I *really* need headlights... the old ones are nasty and fogged up. Next to impossible to see anything at night with the headlights on, even high beam.
Before getting them in, I read something here about their quality, but I figured, eh, they're already on the way, so why not just let them get here and I'll see for myself.
They show up, I take them out of the boxes, all looks good. They look like the stock pieces and I'm not anticipating any problems. I ordered the complete set with the adjusters and seals for the headlights as mine were totally shot and I didn't feel like removing the adjusters from my old lenses.
I put the headlight lens in without removing the other two lenses. Tight fit in, but seemed to fit in ok.... until I pushed it back completely against the housing. One bottom corner sat way too far in to look even remotely normal.
*sigh*I take it back out, and for kicks, try to swap the turn signal (inside) lens. If the headlight would have been in, I would have probably broken the thing trying to tighten the nuts down, as when they were on and snug, the lens sat probably a half inch closer to the headlight than the original lens did, and it showed at the side facing the bumper cover.
I removed the marker lens for kicks. The car has a little dent in the fender but the bumper cover is just a little scratched, the original lens is still intact and not cracked. It fits well. The replacement hung off of the fender just a bit on the top. Not overly annoying, and I could probably live with it, but the point is that it does not fit. Better than miserable doesn't say a whole lot.
I've sent them e-mail this evening offering to send pictures and requesting some sort of assistance. I've heard plenty of complaints about this particular product. I'm just hoping that they'll take them back and give me my $200 back.
I'd drive the car down there and see if *they* could put them on correctly if I had to. Hopefully I don't have to do that though. Has anyone here had experience with having them take back a set of lenses?
