    I am not trying to slander anyone, but i have recently made a purchase from Wking2 and I am very disappointed. He sold me Flip custom head and tail lights in "perfect" condition. The lights were far from perfect. First thing i noticed was a scratch in a tail lights (fortunately I waxed this out with alot of buffing) and also a chip at the very top tip of the light. The chip was covered in his pictures due to his inferno spoiler, but it was impossible for him not to notice it. Once again, with some touch up paint, I was able to kind of fix this. Now, moving on to the headlights. I wasnt so please with a fine black line that surrounded the sidemarkers on one of the lights.... This was an error on flips part, but this still should be mentioned before the sale. There was also a scratch and a chip (the scratch was then buffed out also). With all of these things i decided to let the issue rest being it was a used item and everybodys definition of "great condition" is different. I could and wouldve lived with these issues without writing this review. Then I left for vacation, came home, and decided to plug them in. He sent them with HID bulbs, which i chose not to use because i didnt have ballasts. When the driver one it up, I almost died. There were about 8 chips of what looked like plastic stuck to the bezel. And a mark on the lens, so i sent an email to the seller questioning it. I got a response and was told none of these imperfections existed before he sent them. Then I got one of those chunks out, and realized it was glass inside. After alot of searching i found out what happened. He let an HID bulb explode inside the housing, which is why those chunks were sticking to the bezel. I have sent him 3 messages with no response now, and I offered him a fair deal. I was upset that he was not wiling to work with me at all. He wouldnt budge at all when I was buying these, then after i found out how imperfect they were, he wouldnt even refund anything. I am not saying dont buy from him, im telling you be cautious.

    Below is a link to the original sale thread where he states they are in perfect condition and the isnt a mark on them, and also a picture of the exploded bulb inside the housing.

    And the picture where you can see the lens and chunks of glass:


    And how it should look:

    does this seriously need to be brought up in the public? deal with him or deal with US.
