1972 orange lenses

Post by hedz »

i ordered the orange lenses that go on the front fully assembled from NPD. they came wired backwards. i redid the wiring to make them work properly. i'll say it again, as i've been receiving alot of junk crafted for our trucks. pay me to assemble these things, i'll screw them up for you for half the cost you were paying the original geniuses. that way you save in labor while you screw the customer. makes sense from a business perspective. #@!%$!@#$%!#@$%! :x

edit: i meant to put NPD. my mind is still stuck in pontiac land :D

I call them up and let them know about it. They source parts from overseas (China, Taiwan, etc.) so they should be able to clear it correct it with their supplier. If they want return customers that is....

2x... I trust NPD more than I do LMC. 'Seems that LMC has a bunch employees who are stoned out of their minds while filling orders.

oh hell i can't get these to work. all the guts are backwards. having problems with my turn signals getting stuck on with a full power load. it's deffinitely a factory assembly issue. i called them up and asked them what they were going to do. they said send them back and they will consider replacing them or a refund. they also told me there have been no reports of this. i ordered mine from the florida location. i don't like the word consider... if npd does not work this out in my favor i'm going to switch to my murder thieves budget

Might be worth a look on Ebay, NOS front signals often come up for sale.

Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly? :hmm:
If a 12V DC resistance load is wired wrong...you simply reverse the positive and the negative to correct the issue.
Is the socket somehow wired different so that can't be done? :doh:
