AAC didnt install it, but it performed the retrofit, and as you can see from my pics and the ones you've provided....they look totally different? I absolutely didnt have the bulb holder provided at all. AAC is going to ignore this post, but I am definitely going to hold them to the fire for this. Unacceptable!!!!

I have to chip through that mess to swap a BULB? Ridiculous!!!!
By all means use any pictures you need.

wow OP i cant believe that they sent it out like that. Mine look like austin's def not some silicone holding the light. Hopefully AAC gets their shit together. Lately they been messing up quite a bit. My sidemarkers had to be sent in for moisture problems even thought they stated that this was no longer a problem. The good things is that they do take care of you. Just make sure to have your receipt and pay shipping lol

Thanks Austin.....I'm going to send yet another email to Jonathan @ AAC to see if this gets things in motion. At this point this needs to be redone, and redone right!

and that last statement is part of what pisses me off. The fact that I have to pay shipping for them to correct this obvious crapfest.....and they seem to think it is fine......speechless.

Keep in mind. AAC is all at SEMA this week, so you may not hear back from him right away.

It seems any thread talking bad about AAC gets deleted. Or at least posts get removed.

I tend to agree with C586 on this one. Seems as though whenever someone brings up a negative comment about a vendor....poof...thread gone or at least a handful of posts. Even if the comments are 100% true. Theres a lot more politics on this site then there use to be regarding vendors. sad but true.

I'm confused. They performed the retrofit but they didn't install the bulbs and ballast?

They did a incomplete retrofit with cheap knock off parts. They glued the bulb into place instead of doing it the correct way with clips. They didn't install the ballasts because its hard to do that without his car.
