Hi,

The auction includes a complete lamp kit great for those without fog lamps or looking to replace damaged factory fog lamps. Fog lamps fit right into the factory fog lamp openings. Kit includes; 2 lamp enclosures, bulbs, mounting hardware, wiring harness, switch, directions and everything else needed to install and enjoy. If you purchase now at the buy it now price, I will include free shipping. May I send you an invoice for the total?

Thank you,
-Mark

yeah, they are just round lights... the ones in the auction have a factory square(ish) plastic lens in FRONT of the round "bling lights"

Posted by: chocolat1701

yup thats what i said, i may just return these but i will take one of the fogs out and just hand place it to see how it looks

they shouldnt even have the pic of the LS in their ad. Those look nothing like the picture. You are putting round lamps into a trangle/squared hole?

Posted by: chocolat1701

im going to call them now and get a refund, what they should of done is taken a pic of a LSE, thats false advertisement and also since i did email them and he said that it will fit obviosly they dont know what they are selling.

+1, those are definitely more suited for the round LSE fog light cutouts. I dont know why they show a regular LS in the photo when there is a HUGE difference in fitment.

Sounds to me like they are generic fog lights and not even vehicle specific. They are obviously round but may not even be the proper fitment for the LSE fogs. You should get a refund before it's too late.

Posted by: chocolat1701

well if anything i will sue them for false advertisement and especially since i emailed the guy and he said that it will fit, i mean really even in kindergarden i know that the round object goes in the round hole not a rectangle one...

How much was the kit? Just wondering if going through the time, hassle, and costs of a lawsuit would be worth it...

he pretty much covered his bases in the description, and asks that you email with any questions to be sure fitment before bidding.

looks like you won't have any problems getting a refund, though. You might have to pay shipping.

Posted by: daves2000ls

F* that, I wouldn't even pay shipping. I'd be demanding he refund the original shipping cost too. You sent an email to confirm fitment, as he asked so it's 100% his fault therefore he should pay 100% of the expenses. His mistake he should pay.

Posted by: pektel

Is it right he might have to pay shipping? Probably not. But it was specifically listed in the terms. It also states that he'll be responsible for the cost of shipping it back.

Posted by: chocolat1701

well they called me back and they are giving me a full refund including shipping since i did emailed them before i purchased the item, in a way not a bad company no hassle, and i also told them that this product was for a LSE and the should show that pic instead of the OEM LS bumper.. will be sending it back today.

Good to hear! It's always nice when a company will work with you.
