My rear clears are loose and rattle around. My front clears' bulbs are so loose I think they will fall out inside the housing, if I put them on! Plus, I tried calling the phone number that came on my reciept and it's the wrong number(626)288-7210. WTF!

Anyone have the correct phone number?

Don't know the phone # but mine fit pretty good. Just got the front and rears in last wed. with no problems. I did notice that the fronts don't fit to well if you have them in the wrong sides. Couldn't tell the two apart and put the Left in the Right and so on. They just fell out w/o hardly any pressure whatsoever. Just switched them around and low and behold they worked like a charm...

My suggestion for the # is to get on the website and look for it in there. They have to have a cust serv number listed somewhere. Can't find any # listed anywhere on my receipt.

sorry.

Thanks. I found their complaint department email, so I sent them a message. Now I'll just hope for a response. Damn. I was just about to install them next weekend. Hopefully, I can get some replacements before then or else I'll just fix them myself.

I know it is the correct phone number. I just found it on my credit card bill too. Therefore, either I dialed the wrong number(I'll try again tommorrow) or they have a Spanish speaking woman who doesn't speak Engilish answering their phones at about 5:30pm.

i don't have a problem with the fitment issue..except my right front one has a condensation problem after a car wash.
i think someone else on the forum has already contacted autodynamics about this problem...well...they are made-in-taiwan anywayz...

The lenses are marked "L" and "R" on the back. In this case, "L" and "R" are oriented from the driver's perspective.

You can also swap the cheap Taiwanese plugs that came with the lenses for the stock plugs. I already did that on mine.

Condensation IS an issue on the driver's side lens. Obviously Autodynamic is aware of the issue as they've already had to replace my driver's side lens. And if you call Autodynamic, don't talk to Cam. He'll tell you that they aren't aware of the problem even though he's the one that replaced my lens. Deal ONLY with Roger.

Thanks! I didn't even consider swapping the plugs with the stock ones. Dooh! The only thing that sucks is the copper clips that hold the bulbs are flimsy and barely hold the bulb. THANK YOU, y2kse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To give credit where credit is due, Cam at Autodynamic.com suggested swapping the plugs.
