I don't usually write reviews, whether good or bad, but this time I feel obligated to write. I purchased a pair of brand new 2016 Nissan GTR headlights. The new version OEM headlights have this thunderbolt DRL but during the day it's barely noticeable so I opted to retrofit some Morimoto XSB switchbacks to brighten up the thunderbolt. I chose this shop because the other shop couldn't make it on Sat due to prior arrangements, I didn't have the patience to wait another week, and the price were about the same. To cut it short, I should've waited...
First off, he never worked on these headlights before but if I knew that from the beginning, I would've never brought it to his shop. It wasn't until later on that night after I dropped off these headlights that he was asking me these newbie questions. Long story short, he screwed up my lights (almost $3000) and blamed me that I rushed him for this shit job. No where in the chat logs denote that I rushed him. He sent me pics that night of the finished lights and I asked if it was okay to pick them up next morning and he said yes. You can clearly see the LED strips lit up during the day (it's sooo bad), and at night because there's no constant power source, the LED strip is turned off and the OEM bolt is blocked by the LED strip so all you see is 2 dots...it's very very bad.
I asked for half refund back and proceeds to tell me that he gave me a good deal and of course that I rushed him but he's offering to fix it for me for free. Problem is, I feel as a customer, I don't want my lights to go through of being a guinea pig again and he doesn't know how to tap the wire to get a "constant-on" power source so my LEDs will remain on all the time. His solution is to tap the wire to the fuse box inside the car but my shop said that it can be done in the engine bay and to drop my car off so he can work on it. Other shops can get it done in the same-day but because he's never worked on these lights he wants my car to be dropped off so he can figure it out.
If you value your ride, then proceed with caution if you come here.
EDIT: This is in response to Franciso's statement: You told me via chat that Sun is Father's Day and that you need my car to be dropped off on Sun to have it worked on and possibly have it back on Monday. Besides, you said that you sent me pictures and I was happy. You told me the youtube videos have HIGH EXPOSURE which is why the LED strips appear brighter than it should be, so of course someone like me who don't work on lights as a living, believed you! Why are you trying to lie your way out of this? Even if I said it was okay, wouldn't it be responsibility of the merchant to see something's wrong? You even said today that last night while you were working on these lights, your "employee" told you it didn't look right with gaps in the thunderbolt and that's when you caught it. I can't believe you have the audacity to say that your work is FLAWLESS. If it is FLAWLESS, why is it such a shitty job?!? read more
