Shoot me a message!

As much love you have received from your brackets, you better apply for a patent before someone knocks off your design

Update finally! So I finally got my set of white fogs and installed the headlights and fogs together. They do look amazing at full function. Also, my headlights must be the rare set that don't need readjusted after the initial instal. I even took a sharp speedbumb at some speed to see if they would hold. They did. So far... I am a bit concerned with the feedback on the fogs from others. I kept all my OEM lights and it sounds like that is the right choice currently. My insurance policy. I'll post pics in the next few days. I love the lights but don't trust them. I will say, after a year of running DD3 pro ditch lights on the truck, I have never has any issues with those.

The yellows were great to me. When they worked. The led dying was the last straw for me- at least the warranty is good. I did have to email them for my refund though. A month after it said I had been refunded- I hadn’t. A week after that I had store credit. I’d recommend keeping the OEM lights just in case.

As for my headlight I should have had mid-march. Supposedly it’s getting built by 5/12. ?

You asked for a refund on a faulty part and got store credit rather than cash refund?

CORRECT. After waiting an extra month after the refund was supposed to take place. Keep in mind there’s a drop down box to ask what you want; a replacement, store credit or a refund. I selected refund and still got store credit.

OH JOYOUS UPDATE


Got my replacement light yesterday, MAY 16th that I requested in January and was told would be ready in MARCH.

AND ITS THE WRONG FUCKING SIDE.

They also packed it like the originals shipment years ago, spray foam in a cardboard box that led to severe damage (in my original post).

Also it seems it was someone’s first time holding a sealant gun because it’s just SLATHERED all over this seal channel.


here’s some pics of the continued fuckery;

In a bizarre turn of events, a few hours after doing a formal RMA request on the third RMA Ive done for these lights, i got an email about a "labeling issue" that swapped the lefts and rights and my order MIGHT have been affected . This wouldn't really matter for most as they come as a SET. However for me, it became quite problematic. Time will tell if i get another 8-12 week lead time that turns into 16 weeks.

im still trying to get my elite max issues worked out. the main functions work fine.

i can program the low beam assist fine, but then it doesnt actually ever come on. ive tried both the with turn of the wheel or just on anytime the low beams are on.

I also cant get the welcome animation to work. all i get is the center bar lighting. sometimes its just white. sometimes it does the cycle of white and amber.

i had the oem projectors and im leaning toward that being the issue since i have the same issue on a new set of lights that i received. DD has since removed compatibility with the oem projector trucks from their site, but they still claim to me that they should work and have plenty of other people who upgraded from the oem projectors. but i haven't come across a single post anywhere of someone that come from oem projectors.
