    Too bad they don’t care about things like ratings, customers, etc.

    the only thing that got their attention was PayPal and Square holding funds due to customer complaints/disputes.

    The one thing about Karma is that it IS consistent. Decided to put in the bowl lights today. Went well until the last door - right front. Hooked everything up and turned on the lights to check.....no ice blue light. Checked all the connections, all look good. Look at the light itself....one of the wires is not connected to the circuit board and the light is moving around a lot in the retainer which is what probably caused it to snap at the solder joint. Ugh.

    Sent an email requesting a new right side bowl light. The wait begins.

    I may run out and get a small soldering pen and try to fix it myself. It can't not work any less.

    Might I recommend:
    https://www.amazon.com/Vastar-Soldering-Iron-Full-Welding/dp/B01712N5C4

    I have an earlier version, but damn. It has transformed my soldering skills.

    The one that I ran out and got from RadioShack back in the day was such a PoS. I never realized that it was the iron screwing up until I borrowed a different one from my neighor.

    Thanks - that one is unavailable but I'm sure I can find something similar. I may just go with one of the small battery powered pens since I rarely do any soldering.

    Don't make me go looking for a Milwakee M18 soldering iron. :rofl::rofl:


    Bought a combo set for Christmas, and it was a gateway drug to moar Milfuckees.

    All you need is the ability to drop one very small amount of solder on the disconnected wire and solder point on the board.

    Ask someone you know if they have a soldering gun/pen, it could save you time and money.

    The M12 soldering iron is a game changer.

    There is one? That is hilarious.

    I just received mine yesterday and after reading your post decided to take a closer look and everything looks fine(I hope) noticed that there were 2 plugs for connecting the light unit into the harness, wondering if yours was the same and why is there 2 plugs, any idea, thanks

    It's an additional 12v pigtail to add another LED if you are so inclined. I saw those and am trying to think of what else can I light up using them.
