VEMO Parts

Hey all,
Anybody familiar with Vemo parts? I am about to purchase a headlight switch for my buddy's 95 E300d. The OEM is $71.10 while Vemo is only $32.80 from rmeuropean.com

Thoughts?..Thanks.

THE C350
I have actually messaged rm in the past asking about what they thought of the different brands and found them to be very honest about if i should skimp on a non oem/oes part or go for an oem/oes part. They even looked up the defect rates on the different brands for me. That was on a $10 part but maybe they looked up my order history and saw that I am a very good customer or maybe they are just that awesome.

Maybe that is what I should do, email them & ask. I really need to get this part because my buddy can't drive w/o headlights. I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone had any "real-life" experience with Vemo parts.

Rm is an excellent vendor. All my dealings with them has always been positive.

RM is awesome. I got a part from them that was missing something and they sent the missing item overnight. One time they were out of stock on one part and they got it from another vendor for me and included it with the other parts I ordered. You get loyalty points so you save a little on your next order. Super quick response to emails... and most amazingly... they answer the PHONE when you call. They will tell you which brand to buy and which brand to avoid and some times that varies BY PART.

Bought the Vemo part anyway. I figured it has a 2 year part warranty and it is not too hard to install/remove if it goes wrong.
