New/old W203

Hi im 06blkss
Been on here for a while , occassionally quiet tho.
Had a few posts here and there and i decided to make a thread to show my car off and ask a question which is bothering me to no end.
My question is , i bought the black depot headlight housings from a guy names "motorenergy" off of ebay, got the package everything fine......got the directions from mbworld.org and installed them....after a long tedious process they were installed and i was rolling.
NOT EVEN 2 weeks later i hit a pothole and the chrom casing around the eye broke off and was just dangling around in my headlight....which #1 got me so angry bc made my car look like crud #2 really decreased my view @ night from my HIDs.
I naturally contacted "motorenergy" and he did not as even respond to my question or concern. after about 3 months of asking this guy for help i took it into my own hands, i just (about 3 mins ago) removed the broken headlight and installed the stock one back in, and i will do the same to the other side as i have run out of time tonight. I will report this guy to my credit card co. which i used to pay for , my bank and paypal. My bulb cracked as well from his bad headlight....i know i know i get what i pay for, but i loved his black housing light and they were perfect.......they shouldnt do that, and even if they did....the manufacturer should take responsibility from them. My question is there anythingi can do? Any1 had a similar sit like mine?
I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING FROM MOTORENERGY!!!!!

I will post pics of my car tomorro.
Some mods are .....tinted windows 20% all around
HID headlights, stealth turn signals, HID Fogs,clear bumper lights
19" replica AMG rims w/ toyo proxys
and my most recent addition to mods.......my garmin nuvi 360 which i have conceled all the wiring ( and i must say looks sweet!)
Will post pics tomorrow thanks to you all that read
and YOU ALL ROCK!!!!

Kevblah's lights had the round casing loose just from shipping. Good luck, only thing I can think of is trying a paypal dispute if that is how you paid for it.
