I'm so f@$## pissed. I need your help.

RupertPupkin · 01-30-2012, 07:57 PM

Being very honest and not trying to piss off OP, these look absolutely brand new. They dont even look to have been turned on yet. The casing is made of crappy sheet metal formed in presses and molds to be the shape it is. They look fine to me. Do they work? If they turn on and there are no issues I dont see why

You so mad?

theyll be under the hood inside the headlight housing. Next time you see them is when they burn out.

I think they look new, i think you went about this completely wrong and have made yourself look like an ass by trying to bash the seller, in fact by trying to ruin his rep you have inturn ruined your own, everybody will now be hesitant to do business with you in the future. Not everyone sits around and waits to answer emails, you should have given more time to deal with this directly with the seller.

First of all, I'm not running any business. If I do sell stuff, I will have pictures video and I will respond to emails. Anyways, Take a look at the picture yourself and see how beatup the lights are. I know you can't see all the details from the pictures. I don't blame you for it. I have the right to come up here and let everyone know about this business. I bought something and I'm unhappy about it. Tried to contact the seller through phone and email but no luck. What do you think I should do? Go up here and say how great this business is? Go ahead buy something from him first then try to contact him and please come back here and let me know the result. By the way I have pictures to show the actual items. I never told anyone not to buy items from this guy. They are free to do business with him. I'm just posting my experience with the purchase. Seriously what do you think this forum is for? I don't just go up here and ruin anyone's business. You're saying this because you have never run into issue like this. This is the third time it happened to me. I bought something that was classified as new but when I got the item it looked like shit. Would you like to buy a new M3 with some scratches on the paint? You're damn right! NO. So the point is when you buy something new, make sure they are NEW without any flaws!!!!

cable96 · 01-30-2012, 08:27 PM

honestly, to me, the base looks like it has been used before and they just swapped a brand new bulb into it, your call as to whether or not you want to use it.

Yvette · 01-30-2012, 08:48 PM

as long as it works fine, it has warranty, the seller stated it is bnib, I think it's all good

Exactly that's why I'm pissed. No brand new bulbs are this beat up.

Lets wait until he replies to me first before I talk about warranty or even ask for a "new" pair. So far I tried calling and emailing him but no luck.

They don't seem too bad. Probably got like that in the packaging process.

There is already a DIY. Just look it up. As far as I know the only diffrence between non lci and lci is the bracket that holds the light bulb.

Lolitskasey · 01-31-2012, 05:26 AM

Over reacting IMO.... Like everyone else said, bulb has not been fired up and it's not like anyone is going to see those little baby scratches.

if thats the case, then u shouldnt have said anything about going to his house with a hammer and stuff.

like 90% of the internet e-thugs, all bark no bite online. face to face, most fools dont say shit lol

TwinSnails · 01-31-2012, 02:21 PM

I can understand how you feel but I think your threats were a bit out of place and unnecessary.

To your comment about a new m3 with a scratch, were talking about a $65k car vs a 150$ bulb w a few scratches.

Dark_Knight_335 · 01-31-2012, 02:28 PM

You DO KNOW you can do jail time for threatening bodily harm to anyone on ANY medium don't you?
If I were you, I would be spending less time throwing temper tantrums about bulbs and more time begging the moderators to remove this thread- you could be potentially in deep shit.

If something happens to this individual or their property, even by sheer coincidence, all they need do is pull your IP from which you are posting and you'll be fucked faster than a virgin on prom night.

Seriously, think before you say stupid shit like that- not worth ruining your life over it.

Same concept my friend. I will not let people take advantage of me this way. It's not just a few scratches. The base is totally f up! I looks like he took an old base and use it with a new bulb. It has been the 3rd day already. He did not respond to my email and his business phone is still off.

What did I say here? I never said that I'll harm him! Read everything before you put your nosy face in my thread!

A threat is a threat. Control your anger and watch what you say. Acting like a child and posting idle nonsense on a public car forum thread isn't going to solve your issues. Take it up with the vendor, no one cares really and none of use are certified anger management counselors. I suggest you seek out one, before it backfires on you someday.
