Description of the Complaints:
I had purchased a set of 1996-2000 honda civic carbon fiber euro tails from optionracing. on their website,they claim the lights are sae/d.o.t. stamped, and i called in to make sure. they told me they were,and street legal.well,3 days later i purchased and received them. the next day,it rained and when i went to my car, i noticed the drivers side outer tailamp was halfway full of water! and i wasn't even driving! i called them, and was old to silicone repair them myself. when i complained,they told me all sales were final,even though it was only 2 days after i received my lights.so i used a blowdryer and dried the lights myself,and used silicone on the edges to seal them.approx 2 weeks later,i was stopped by arcadia police department. they told me my tailamps were illegal,and i would have to take them off.i didnt get a ticket,but was told to replace them because the color was pink,not red.also,it needs a side reflector,and i pointed out the lights had the sae/dot approval stamp,and the officer got a little mad,and told me they weren't and it makes no difference if they are stamped,they were illegal,and thats my fault for not making sure.but i did call before i bought them. so then i called this company again,and told them what happenned,and they told me the lights were legal because they had the dot number. so they wouldn't give me any refund or replacement. so then when i looked on the internet,i found this website,and hope you can help.the number on the box was sk3700-cv96-2d-p and had sonar auto parts. the option racing company told me they were the import company for the lights,so they should be responsible,but instead,told me to contact that sonar in taiwan,china.i sent a letter,but never got any reply.thank you. *jb
