Welp, I sold the interior chrome pieces for $40 total. I'll break down the rest and sell them once I get them here and see what I have left after the install.

Daedalus is going to break them down for me so I'll part them out nicely for you.

That really sucks. Hope they make things right for you.

I just had my oil changed there too. I would be absolutely stunned if they don't take care of you. Bob is a good guy.

E/W I don't think I can give you the clippy thing without destroying the entire black housing but I'll take some pictures once I get the lights here.

Dang! I'm a bit late for the chrome interior housing.

Thanks though.

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 04:59 PM

Whoops forgot the shrouds - added those in.

chieuxuan · 10-11-2012, 05:35 PM

Well, the guy just called me back and said everything is fine, but the leak down compression hasn't done yet, it should be done by 11 am tomorrow. All it was is the guy did the oil change DID NOT TIGHTEN the oil filter properly

Sorry DM, I got your thread sideway

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 05:40 PM

No it's ok. See told you they'd take care of you

Edit: That said, are they going to reimburse you for your tow and/or give you "free stuff" for damn near destroying your engine?

chieuxuan · 10-11-2012, 05:49 PM

I just hope the leak test comes out perfect tomorrow. A BIG THANKS to everybody concerning about my problem

If you could just take a picture of the inside portion, where the HID bulb slides into place, if that piece comes in one big piece, I'll just buy that. Im not sure how it breaks down. And you wont know until you get everything back.

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 07:35 PM

Will do.

Sorry for trolling again lol.

Are you talking about this clip or the whole projector housing?

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 08:55 PM

That's not trolling at all...? That's the picture we wanted to see I think. He wants those little metal clip doohickies that hold the HID bulb in place.
