SoCAL: New Clear Toms Tailights Trade For Defective Pair
 

Thanks. Close

Hey, how much cash do you want on top? My driver side Tom's tail recently got condensation in it. I'm looking to replace it for sure. Let me know how much more you want on top of my used pair.

Oh wait, you're looking for someone to give you a defective pair, right? Mine were damaged somehow, not defective from factory.

My one is melted a bit and they said they would warrenty it but I have no stock taillights so I cant send them back in :( haha

Im looking for someone who at least has this defect because thats what the warranty case was for. Its purely cosmetic but it but bugs most people. Also trying to keep it to socal because i have a time frame i need to send back as well as shipping just costing money

Strange how that wasnt the case for me. They just sent them but was sure to note i would be charged somehow if i didnt return

I am in canada so maybe that is why??

That is probably why. Well stocks can go as cheap as 60 and usually you get most of your money back.

Mhe I am just going to live with it TBH, you can't tell unless you look for it or stand at the right angle at night with them on

yeah youre right, during the day its not noticable but at night the led light comes through the hole at the angle. but at night im the one driving and it doesnt bug me.

bump

I hope you realize you're attempting to commit fraud

And the vendor he bought them from is active on this forum

Saw this coming. The top vendors have been aware of this problem for well over a year and have been glad to sell people these tailights. When the problem appears they just brush the customer off to warranty only to have the problem occur again. So please keep your morals to yourself

Vendors just sell them. Warranty has nothing to do with them. So your statement is pointless.

The issue of defects in the tail lights notwithstanding, you're still attempting to defraud the seller by returning tail lights that weren't purchased by you and profiting off the transaction.

but as i stated above, this has nothing to do with the seller at this point. this is the manufacturer. Had i came in and said hey ill be doing this for free im sure i would have no objection nor a comment from you and would have pms all day. Im accepting my defective tailights for what they are and given someone a chance at a new pair for a dirt cheap price. So please keep your comments to yourself because if the manufacturer would have just fixed this issue years ago we wouldnt be having this conversation.

Obvious something said from a third class mind set with no business sense. This is how a clean car community starts becomes toxic. smh

Please enlighten me how this effects the vendors instead of just making a vague statement and insulting someone. I dont mind being wrong about something but from my understanding the warranty is done outside of vendors hands. Like ive said plenty of times had this just been fixed by the manufacturer this wouldnt be a problem. So whos really the bad guy here? messaged MULTIPLE vendors MONTHS in advanced asking if the problem still existed to which they replied no. And not to mention i dont think anybody whos made a comment isnt even educated on the situation of the defective taillights. Just people who like to throw opinions out there.

Also please dont just go around insulting people and stating they have third class mind sets when in fact you dont actually know anything about them besides something they have written on the internet. You should be the last person talking.

Theres a lot of things to take into consideration on how this effects both buyer and seller. If an item is constantly warrantied that means the item is lost or considered a charged back/loss of unit. In this case the company has to send it back to it's original distribution center. The company only has a limited amount of funds they can spend a year towards chargeback/loss of funds/lost from shipping/defective items and if they go over that limit they get deducted in whatever currency they use either cash credit or hours they can distribute over their business. This can effect customer service or other beneficiary considerations along with shipping costs.

Now customer side is more simple, the more you're returning the more they have to ship out to fulfill your needs. In which case the less on hands they will have for other honest buyers. In which how well they are as in a vendor towards this community is business side. I however know a bit of vendors on this page personally and they can't revolve their life around ft86, however their are some that attend local meets and i will gladly do business with them and defend them against people using loop holes to make a quick 100$

thank you for proving to everybody you have no idea what you're talking about (in this situation alone). See thats not the way it works in this case. In this case you buy the tailights. the problem appears. then you email the company. they give you an email THAT BELONGS TO THE MANUFACTURER. The vendor is now no longer involved at this point. They got their money. You talk to the guy FROM THE MANUFACTURER and he sends you a pair directly to your house with a return slip to send back to him the old pair.

Have you ever worked in a eCommerce type business before?

I don't think @Vincenttam is a welfare child, being that he's not trying to scam a company out of a set of aftermarket tail lights.
