They sent me a bad one... i called and they sent a second one a week later and that was broke too. In the end it was resolved, but come on... 3 times. What's going on with their quality control.

I had issues with the P13W LED bulbs too... A couple of them!

I went to the plasma one and haven't had one single issue with them and IMO they are a much better and brighter bulb!

Did you guys have to pay shipping to send the bad ones back? I'm new to the Camaro scene but I am shocked that people are paying $100... for the same LEDs that can be found on eBay!

When I ordered my headlight bulbs for the non-RS (so they could look like HIDs), I had one good one, went through 2-3 bad ones, and finally they just sent me one that worked without me having to send one to them back lol

I agree quality control there is not good, but the products themselves are awesome!

Yes. Well at least I had too. Had one go bad after a while of use. Love the lights still though.

yep.... but, they'll replace them for free every time! (but you pay shipping)

I got so frustrated with replacing them I installed T3 ports....

That fixed the problem!

Im with a pretty big car club here in jville, NC and these guys have consistently sold so much crap that i refuse to buy there products. Not to mention the outrageous prices they charge. Literally every person i know that has bought something from these guys has had an issue with the product. Jus my two cents.

Well, i just ordered afterburners from them last night. I must say... I'm not that confident that what arrives at my house the first time will work. Sorry AAC... you guys need to step it up.
