i was just wondering if this has happend to anyone else but me, i have ordered the taillights 3 times now once from ebay and now twice from sport compact only and everytime they have come in they were broken on the lower outside corner of the taillight. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this stupid problem like this

 

I hope you get your money back, its because those are cheap replacement lights and they dont know how to package them. I bought OEM lights and had them clearned out.

 

im still waitn for my money from the post office cus i had to make a claim on it from the ebay one and the sport compact only said they would send me another but they were gonna take it out of the box take a pic of it before it leaves and email me the pic of it being in perfect shape and send me it lol

 

Hmm, very interesting. I have not had this happen to me. I also ordered my clear tails from e-bay, but the box they came in was filled with a **** load of protective materials such as styrofoam, air bubble wrap, newspaper scraps, these wooden cartons and others.

I really think you are ordering from someone or somewhere where this may be a regular occurence among customers who order where you did. My box was so well packaged, that I honestly believe I could jump on it, kick it, throw it around with not even the smallest piece of the taillight coming off or being destroyed.

In addition, I always buy insurance when ordering from e-bay. That way, if anything goes wrong, your new tailights are on their way again, except this time UPS or whatever other carrier paying for everything.

 

i did buy the insurance but the stupid seller kinda screwed me by not contacting me back from the ebay but it should almost be all set from the post office

 

Sounds like he didnt give a **** about what he was sending you and got you

 

Why didn't you try and make them yourself ?

 

i dont know y i didnt try but i know im not to good with that kind of stuff as u can see my luck isnt that great and i would probably break them myself lol

 

boy am i glad. i got some tails from a friend and they came perfect. It was though USPS.

Who broke your tails?

 

People don't double box. The corners of the tails are the most delicate part. You can't expect thin plastic not to break if it's not double boxed.

 

the pair from ebay came from usps but i dont know if the seller just sold them 2 me like that or they broke from the usps and the sport compact only came from dhl

 

im waiting on my 3rd pair from swa, the first one was packaged poorly, the second was better and double boxed, but they were still broken...i got my fingers crossed for the next ones.

 

My left rear tail light is slightly cracked.. I always thought I did it during installation, but now I don't think I did.

 

Same exact thing happened to me from swa. Except the second wasn't any better, they just double boxed it, didn't do any good though obviously. But I'm not waiting for a third set, I just asked for my money back. It's too much of a hassle.

 

Sounds like our tail lights are made of Saltine crackers...

that or the UPS guy loves to use boxes as stools to sit on and each lunch.

 

good luck i got mine crossed also man

 

that wouldnt surprise me guaranteed they do

 

wow so a lot of people have had the same probs from swa? i talked to steve (steve2k2 on the .org i believe) and mentioned the poor packaging, i guess they didnt do anything about that. shipping from swa is through dhl, so im sure thats a problem also

 

My set came perfectly. Absolutely no cracks however the tails themselves are of mediocre quality.

 

not to steal your thread cuz it's similar issue...

does anyone please please please have a driver's side all clear or red/clear for a 95/96?!?! there HAS to be someone out there with one laying around...blahhhhhh
