This is why we always stress to people that saving a few dollars isn't always the smartest choice; cutting corners can have negative consequences every now and then
Nice assumptions buddy! Those were shipped to me directly from DEPO maxzone's warehouse.

IM Pretty sure you DONT even deal directly with DEPO as you get your lights through a distributor.

@DoctorNick PM me and we'll get DEPO to replace those for you

Lol why would you have to replace them if they weren't fake?

And we actually are an authorized distributor with AAI Motorsports, sorry pal!

Coz DEPO will replace it under warranty

See here's the difference, i get them directly from Depo and you dont. You use a distributor.

Warranties are quicker with as we deal direct with DEPO

Big diderence pal!

Replied to your PM.

I did think it was funny the packaging on the headlights were different colors. It did come in a DEPO/TOMS box, it had a TOMs stickers but looking at other vendor threads. It was missing the LOGO and the serial number sticker.

Been in contact with 86_zn6 via pm. He is currently finding out if DEPO is willing to ship me another set of tails to replace the ones I currently have. Now I feel like an ass telling people they are TOMS tails at the Subaru Shootout. haha!

they are authentic TOM's maybe just a defect on DEPO's side

here are proof that these came directly from DEPO Maxzone's Warehouse

each carton contains 3 sets of tail lights. your was one of it. I know @CircuitJerk got the other one and it had the TOM's logo








i will get in contact with DEPO tomorrow regarding your set

Same address that is on my paypal account. Same address shows up in google, bing, zillow, and the county tax records.

IDK but I feel like I am getting the run-around here. Never any tracking info or shipping confirmations even after he tells me he will send me one.

Now this.

my guess is that the postman that day was drunk or high on drugs.

this is what usps sent back to me

NSS means "no such street"

some vendors are bad at answering numerous emails and PMs, so sometimes the last resort is to post something here.
