Originally posted by Corbett: Everybody is screaming $1200 for lights, but pete, is that how much you paid Milan? Or was it $1200 for new headlights and for Milan to do the work, total? I'm not taking sides but everyone here knows that you have to cut the lights open to get into them, and I'm sure you did too when you sent them out. Though I do agree with you on the poor quality of workmanship, I dont think Milan should be responsible for paying you back for headlights that you sent out knowing that they were going to be cut open.
1 - Send them back to him and make him pay for shipping and tell him not to send them back until they are perfect.
OR
2 - Ask for a refund for what Milan charged you and send the headlights back to him so he can use the projectors inside the headlights on another car.
$1200 total
Milan's projector conversion
new OEM Ford headlights
shipping
Fact: I never asked for $1200.
Fact: The lights do not need to be cut open for the conversion.
Fact: He shipped them to me horribly spotted up inside and dust beyond belief.
Fact: I asked him to clean them out.
Fact: Milan said would attempt to remove the projectors to clean them - no evidence of him doing so.
Fact: I told him many times that I wanted the lights as perfect as possbile.
Fact: He did warn me of potential leaking - this is not my issue.
FACT: HE NEVER WARNED ME THAT HE WOULD DESTROY THE INNER CHROME HOUSING AND SILVER TRIM AS PREVIOUSLY PICTURED. THAT is my issue.
HE wrecked my brand new OEM headlights, so he SHOULD reimburse me.
Corbett,
If you asked me to wash and wax your car and I did, but left scratches all over the car that could not be fixed other than repainting, would you not expect me to pay for it? Same thing.
Milan has offered ONLY to reseal the lights.
What about the damage to the brand new OEM lights I sent to him?
Why can't he admit publicly that he is at fault for damaging the lights?
I have PMs where he admits to it, but he wont admit it publicly.
At this point, there are only 2 options I will accept:
1. Full reimbursement for money paid to Milan for the projector/HID conversion
PLUS reimbursement (monetary or new OEM Ford headlights) for the headlights he admits to being at fault for damaging.
OR
2. Brand new Ford OEM headlights converted to projectors shipped to me at no cost.
(No need for HIDs since those work fine)
In either case, I would eat all shipping costs previously incurred and ship, at my expense, the damaged projector headlights back to him.
