    Well I bought some anzo crystal headlights off of Amazon and when I finally got my package..there was only one headlight in the box and the description of the lights says sold in pairs. Well I tried to get this fixed but when I got a replacement package there was still only one headlight in the box. Well I was wondering if anybody else has had this happen to them.

    Not ordered any sorry. Have ordered from Amazon though. They are pretty quick to take care of issues. Bit of a tough spot though as the best the operative can do is probably send you another after you send yours back so a vicious cycle. What reviews are the lights getting?

    Sometimes see in reviews where others have had similar issue and what they had to do to resolve it.

    Only issues I've really ever had is with the non Amazon suppliers on there. Vendors selling through Amazon's site and shipping themselves. That has only been really slow delivery though.

    Perhaps there is a way to move the issue up to a supervisor? If Amazon is supplying then they need to get either their listing fixed, supplier fixed or picking proceedure at the warehouse fixed. Either way perhaps they could over ride the system to get you two lights.

    Do you have a link to the exact ones you purchased? Might help with others who may have bought the same or be considering.

    No problem with my pair of Depos from Westcoastcovers (on Amazon).

    I admit that I was a bit nervous because the Depo brand was available from a number of vendors (I only wanted Depo), and only one vendor showed an image of a pair... the rest showed single housings.
    I compared part numbers and prices and placed my order, received two.

    The Westcoastcovers housings were right in the middle of the price range once shipping was added, at $160.
    The company that showed a pair was closer to $220, and I almost went with them.
    The companies that indicated "Left" or "Right" with a matching part number were around $90-$110 shipped.

    I just ordered a pair of Depo corner lights for dirt cheap.

    At least they were advertised as Depo. Never heard of the brand. Any good?

    Depo is one of the better aftermarket manufacturers.
    When you order from a supplier that normally supplies body shops, you'll usually get Depo parts.

    I put a set of Spyders on my wife's Rav4 and the cutoff is horrible (with halogens!).

    After they sent me the replacement and when I saw that it was only one headlight I just immediately thought that I wouldn't deal with it again so I just sent it back and get my money back. I think I'm just going to order some from CARID. Anybody have any experience ordering stuff from that site.
