they stole my headlights!!



the dealership just gave me an estimate-2400+

 

ouch! they are charging you 1 grand per headlight?

 

damn it...this **** is back in miami? Did you have an alarm?

 

lol this is some F*cked up sh*t yo... its kinda funny at the same time that people would stoop so low to steal headlights man i mean really...Im curious...can u post pictures of your car with the headlights stolen?

 

im not sure. its already at the dealership. but i gotta go get something i left inside mayb i can get a shot for u guys to see
the alarm WENT OFF!!

the car is parked in front on my neighbors bedroom window she heard them but didnt do SH*T!!!



i just got the car in feb, and its already being valdalized

how sad

 

stock alarm or aftermarket?

 

stock

with the annoying beep

i cant believe it didnt wake me

 

Hmm...you need a 2 way pager alarm like my clifford 3.5rsx.

 

the worst part is that now my car's flagged

they know where and when to hit me

ive got no choice but to upgrade the alarm, and get the brackets...

 

You know it's ebay time right?

 

the dumbass stealership should install them brackets free of charge. I mean, hell, its Nissans fault that these headlights are so easily stolen. but yea get a pic man...if i catch somebody stealin my ish, you gonna read about Myles Miller AKA maximainct203 choking somebody to death...i swear it! lol

 

sorry, I didn't *lol*

 

why ebay? only place to get the brackets??

 

no to look for your jacked headlights...

 

can't you just file an insurance claim and pay your 100 dollar decutable? My insurance covers the theft of anythign that's bolted to my car. So, for example, if somebody broke into my car and stole my MP3 player and oakley's, I'd be screwed except for the window they broke. They get my CD deck, however, I get a new one. Same goes for headlights, I'm pretty sure.

 

Sorry to hear that man...

 

What part of Miami? I just got brand new ones put in a few weeks ago..would hate for them to get stolen. Time to get a better alarm.

 

i filed the claim,. but my deductible is 500...plus itll take about a week or so...

 

$500 is much less and $2400

 

2400 is the estimate, out of that ilol hav to pay 500. insurance should cover the diff.

 

This thread is the exact reason we (the org) will not give anyone instructions for wiring these headlights up to a 2k+1

 

i live in the gables....

damn car thiefs!! im soo md and sad.

i wanna cry...my baby...

 

where can i get the bracket? besides the dealership

 

I hate that feeling. I lost my wallet with my license and a spare key to my car in it. Someone tried using one of my credit cards so I know whoever has it is that has nothing but negative intentions.

Horrible feeling

 

Damn bro, that sucks... I guess is a sign to upgrade that stock alarm to something better.... hope they catch them...

 

actually the alarm worked fine..i meant it went off..but i didnt hear itt, nor did my dog or my mom...my neighbor heard the alarm and when they were tryin to yank the lights off...she didnt do crap

i now find myself hatin that biatch lol

 

im still going to upgrade to the one someone suggested a few posts back...

 

Booooooo!! - yet completely understandable.

sux man..hope you sort all that sh*t out.

and if you do get some pics - get closeups to see what all they jacked up..

 

I'll pour one out to your dearly departed head lights as soon as i get home.............

 

Do it...the new ones have sick range on them...but unless you wanna run down some punk kid who has a 1/4 advantage it might not help ya. my range is just long enough for me to grab my glock 26 and take care of business.

 

thanx.

 

Sorry for your loss. I know the feeling...

what are brackets? do they stop theives from taking the lights? cause i want some.

 

IIRC they can make it harder to jack them, but in turn can cause more damage to the car if the lights are stolen.

 

Mannn, sorry to hear that bro! I can't stand when something like this happens!
so what is your car doing at the stealership?

 

i took it there...

i thought it'd b the best place...now im not so sure..but w.e. its already there...

 

damn, sorry to hear.

 

if your looking for a great alarm system, that beats Viper and Clifford, Go for COMPU STAR.....they are rated number 1, i had one on my old talon i used to have. that thing let me know wuts going on a quarter mile away, and its like a 2 mile radius thing...but i never am away from my car that far hahaha

 

Thread title edited to something a little more informative.


So what exactly is the question here? How to deal with insurance? What replacements to get?

 

hmm...not really...just wanted to get ppls opinion, and suggestions to prevent this from happening in the future...

alarm upgrade is a must...

where can i get the iirc brackets?? anyone know?? i tried ebay...google....

 

That dealer price is just a scam between the OEM and insurance companies. (Gee, Mr. insurance customer, since your headlights are like $2K plus, I am so truly sorry but I have to charge you more insurance to, well, "cover" my costs...and make LOTS of money!!! Sucker!!!

I've spent years in manufacturing and there is NO WAY those things cost anywhere near that price and most likely like $100 ea. This is what they will call a "service" part, and since volumes are a bit lower, prices will be a bit higher, but nowadays the OEM demands that service prices be the same as production prices, so who's screwing who here???? Not sure of all what's in them but this is ripoff prices. I get sick of fuel ripoffs, yeah, but when atleast in my state when the atty general gets involved in price gouging on fuel, that is candyland games when it comes to this stuff. I wonder how many of these units Nissan sells...and I can assure you that the manufacturer, unless it is Calsonic which Nissan owns, makes them is NOT making that much money. The markup is prob a combo of the dealer and Nissan since ya cant drive w/out headlights very much! Really, though, this is a situation of price gouging and really should be an atty general looking into this cause if they can penalize gas stations on fuel, then they can rule on this stuff, too.

Just my whining and $.02.
