    Still no lights. Still no tracking number, that was to be given to me "shortly", according to him in an email from the 23rd.

    NOT happy...

    I'm calling him tomorrow to see what the fuck is going on, cause this is ridiculous. Seriously utter bullshit.

    I know man...... I'm so pissed off it's ridiculous. I ordered two pairs of 55w 700 FF's. One in 3200K one in 5000K. I just emailed him requesting priority shipping to the address I gave him. I live in Canada and I gave him my grandmothers shipping address in Washington to avoid duty fees....

    Obviously my lights that have "been shipped" haven't been shipped, or he'd give me a tracking number. I see a PayPal claim coming.... I know you guys got yours, but what the hell... Its been over 8 weeks since I ordered and I've only received one pair, and that pair was sent (accidentally) to another TW member, and I STILL received them (thanks Chris).



    I hate to keep reviving an old GB thread, but this is what is happening and I believe members deserve to know what to expect when dealing with this "company/business".

    If it makes you feel any better mine still arent working. I cant figure it out I am taking the lights apart today to tape of the connectors and see if it fixes the grounding out. If it doesnt I am getting my money back.

    Ya they do, my switch inside the cab doesnt light up either but I doubt that has anything to do with it. Its hard to tell when the sound is coming from but my buddy says it looks like they are grounding out inside the lights.

    Which wires did you tape off? Where they were connected or where the medals tabs are touching the bulb?

    Going to test one light, let you know in five.

    EDIT: Blue you are the shit, got one working just gotta do the other three. Think I should do get some of those heatshrink connectors to make sure it stays better than duct tape? Thanks again man +1 to you.
