i purchased a HID kit from this guy about a month ago. i asked for the XTEC kit and he says he said that he could ship them to me no problem. i sent him the money for $325 via paypal and i finally get the product 2 weeks later when he promised me a week.
1. when i got the package the kit wasnt even in the origional packaging, it was in a UPS box. everything was simply thrown in there with bubble wrap around it. ok, no problem...
2. the kit i got was a Prolumen kit. i asked for XTEC and he sends me this one. i PMed him and he said "i thought i told you it was Prolumen." he never said anything like that to me. i let it go because he said it was a better kit, blah, blah, blah
3. when i took a look at the contents of the HID kit, i found out i was missing parts. i told him about it and he said "everything should be there." through some nice enough people on this site, i asked for some pictures of the kit and they were nice enough to send me some pictures. it turns out that i'm missing a wire harness that connects to the ballast and stock headlight harness. i showed Impulse the pic and he said he'd ship them out to me.
4. along with everything from the HID kit being tossed in a UPS box, i didnt even get a warranty card, mounting hardware, and the bulbs were just put in some separate box. it looked so careless that i'm iffy if the bulbs even work.
Its been 1 month now and i'm sitting here with a useless HID kit and am out $325!!! i'm been trying to PM this guy but he claims that he never got them. before he shipped out the HID kit, this guy answered all of his Private Messages and responded them within a day at most. i finally was able to catch him on AIM and now he just avoids me. WTF is that???? i purchased this kit from this kid because he had a good reputation on this site.
$325 dollars may not be alot of money for some, but i work hard for my money and this guy is just taking advantage of me.
i saved all of the private messages and AIM conversations between this guy so i have all the evidence against him. i still have my pay pal receipt too. all i'm asking for now is a full refund. i'll even pay for shipping back to him, but he's not even responding. this is so shady! i'm gonna file a police report/complaint against his online business with the New York police, and pay pal. this is so ridiclous. i'm sorry it had to come to this but you leave me no choice.
thanks gearbox. people that sell things on this site should mirror the way gearbox does business. it just bugs the hell out of me when people take advantage of others and take their hard earned money.
^^^ yeah, but this guy had a good reputation on this site. he even held some group buys in the past on this site. i just never figured he'd screw me over when it was time for me to purchase something...

hm... if u actually search this forum for a bit, u would know some ppl are actually having problem with him as well. so basically there are mix feedbacks from buyers. and from what i can piece together, he got into a really bad accident a while ago that makes him forget about things.
also prolumen is actually better than xtec like he said.
^^^ it doesnt matter if the prolumen kit is better than the xtec, its actually besides the point. the whole underlying reason is that he sold me a kit that is completely useless and i'm out $325 because of it. as for the accident... i dont know, it seems far fetched, but if its true then he should use post its.
Eh, I've seen off topic threads started by him yesterday so hes around. He's been on the site a while - he should get on his horse and try and resolve any issues. I think he's a vendor, maybe you can contact Pharoh or Derek to try and aid in resolving the issue - they have helped with other shady vendors before (ie. Circa-X). Good luck.

Bro, the same thing is happening to me rite now, i paid him $334 for my hid kit and it too is missing thewire harness that connects to the ballast and stock headlight harness. i showed Impulse the pic and he said he'd ship them out to me also. Be for the sale he is quick to answer his pms and has also avoided me. Some times taking days for a reply. I told him i wanted a refund and he told me he would charge me a restocking fee! He wont give me a adress to return the kit that wont work or refund my money. Iam still waiting for the wires cus i was tired of waiting for my refund. We should both go to paypal and compain as we both have paper weights sitting on our desks.
good luck and lets both work on him for our money back.
pm me dude

1. when i got the package the kit wasnt even in the original packaging, it was in a UPS box. everything was simply thrown in there with bubble wrap around it. theres no excuse for that
2. the kit i got was a Prolumen kit. i asked for XTEC and he sends me this one. i PMed him and he said "i thought i told you it was Prolumen." he never said anything like that to me. i let it go because he said it was a better kit, blah, blah, blah same thing happened to a friend of mine except he was told that this is what he is selling now
the Prolumen kit is NOT better than the Xtec kit
(the ballasts/ignitors are separate and the bulbs/shields suck
3. when i took a look at the contents of the HID kit, i found out i was missing parts. i told him about it and he said "everything should be there." through some nice enough people on this site, i asked for some pictures of the kit and they were nice enough to send me some pictures. it turns out that i'm missing a wire harness that connects to the ballast and stock headlight harness. i showed Impulse the pic and he said he'd ship them out to me.
4. along with everything from the HID kit being tossed in a UPS box, i didnt even get a warranty card, mounting hardware, and the bulbs were just put in some separate box. it looked so careless that i'm iffy if the bulbs even work. i wouldnt even hook it up...id tell him that i was going to send it back and expect a full refund
Its been 1 month now and i'm sitting here with a useless HID kit and am out $325!!! i'm been trying to PM this guy but he claims that he never got them. before he shipped out the HID kit, this guy answered all of his Private Messages and responded them within a day at most. yeah, until you mentioned there being a problem with the sale
i finally was able to catch him on AIM and now he just avoids me. WTF is that???? i purchased this kit from this kid because he had a good reputation on this site. $325 dollars may not be alot of money for some, but i work hard for my money and this guy is just taking advantage of me. the amount of the sale is irrelevant, you have every right to feel cheated
i saved all of the private messages and AIM conversations between this guy so i have all the evidence against him. i still have my pay pal receipt too. all i'm asking for now is a full refund. i'll even pay for shipping back to him, but he's not even responding. that sounds very reasonable
i'm sorry it had to come to this but you leave me no choice. dont feel bad about posting this, thats why this forum is here
yeah, this guy USED to be good at being a vendor. thats the exact reason i brought from this guy. i didnt know that he ripped off other members on this board, that just pisses me off even more. seriously (to all the moderators), if this kid is doing this to the members on this board then you should kick his ass off the boards so he cant do it again. either that or get his ass to do something. this is totally unfair to all the honest people on the forums.
