Dapper lighting rant

[xavier296]

BLUF: Why do I always have to modify dapper lighting housings to fit?

I love the look and quality of their products, but not a single one has ever been remove and replace ready. The most frustrating part is that it isn't that they don't fit inside the original buckets. It is that they don't fit the same and are always cocked one way or the other (rotated). So you have trim tabs and finagle to get the beam flat.



I have installed their lights on 2 domestics and one import, and none just go in. We are not talking a 57 Peugeot. We are talking 60s American cars (one Chevy and one Ford,), and a 70s BMW. When you call, they talk about it being the cars fault and manufacturing tolerances and blah blah. But I can go buy a new bulb at autozone for 10 dollars and it will fit. Why doesn't the dapper one?

Alright, rant over. I guess I'll go get started trimming tabs.

Disclaimer: Great bright lights, and great customer service. Their engineering guys just need to compare their bulbs to OEM bulbs and make the tabs line up!!!
