When sellers talk like that you should not support them by purchasing the product anyway.

I see you did buy a different set after you posted that, but in general if people speak with their wallets it will help weed out the sellers that provide no/poor support..

+1 for your response. I feel the same way. What a bunch of losers. The least they could do is refer you to the manufacturer for the wiring diagrams, specs and what not. I know from running a business that most of the time it is impossible to guarantee compatibility. However when you are selling something that is advertised to work with a certain car then it should work and it should have a manual showing the gist of the installation so you know the right resistors are in the right spots.

Just got he JDM ones in the mail today. They come with their OWN wiring harness. How simple! The brand of the lights I bought before were JUN YAN. STAY AWAY FROM THESE! Each socket for running lights, turn signals, brake lights had their own socket and resistor. Absolute nightmare and with NO INSTRUCTIONS! I have the trunk lights coming in the next week or so as well. Once I'm done I'll take a video of the destruction of the JUN YAN tail lights. Absolutely worthless.

Yes Jun Yan is the brand name. Be sure to inquire of the brand name before buying. I don't believe I was even told what brand I was getting. I bought them off a website I found on google shopping. Bought the Trunk lights thinking I was going to get all 4 and the guy called me up and sold me the remaining outer lights. These new ones are the K2motor JDM lights. They are pretty bright. I haven't recieved the trunk ones yet. Bought them on NEWegg, they're supposed to be altezza. compared to the Jun Yans they are a little bit lighter in color I would say. As for quality, I just put them on so we'll see how they wear. I'll take a pic tomorrow, and when the trunk lights come in.

so the right one that you are holding is the one you just bought ? I think the right one look better than the one you installed on the car already...

The new set is installed as shown in the picture. The one I'm holding is the JunYan brand that will have an appointment with my louisville slugger soon.

I like the one that's installed cause of the small backup strip on the bottom. I cannot stand the tails with the large strip.

Why not just re-sale them on here and give the details in the description. There's probably at least one person willing to mess with them. I mean **** I'll pay for the shipping and your time for you to send them to me if you just wanna get rid of them.
