The Internet is full of scammers and legitimate sellers who from time to time decide to scam a buyer while hiding behind a reputation, and have it written off as a coo coo buyer. What is the world coming to?

he has not responded to the paypal case, he has one more day..someone said he was a sponsor here, I generally like to support the vendors who support the bandwith, but to get robbed by one sucks.

Question

What does it take to install for headlights and fog lights, can you get your hand in there to install, or go throught the inner wheel well.

I went through the exact same thing with tspny. Paypal claim, yada, yada.

I'm giving hidextra a shot. I found a coupon code that WORKS: marchfb. This brought the total to $60 even for the slim kit with canceller.

DDMTuning.com. Another board member referred me to them. I purchased the raptor v2 kit and error cancelers; arrived less than a week after I ordered. Installed easily and works great. Paid with credit card as well, just in case I had a problem similar to yours.

I put in an order for 5 ddm slim kits a few weeks ago and they've been sending me back order emails twice a week and they haven't sent out anything.

So it looks like it could be hit or miss with them now too, eh. I ordered mine a while back, when they still had Apexcone Raptor V2's. It looks like they've changed their website and perhaps even suppliers.

They sent the wrong kit, Im sending it back and just getting Philips Diamond Vision. There cistomer service is the worst, never use HIDEXTRA EVER,,,WARNING..I git an RA, they are charging me a restocking fee, I still have my paypal case open. These guys doing HID kits all have their heads up their ***. I got some weirdd kit with no directions? All kinds a wires, it did not fit in housing, total joke.
