tail light assembly replacement - lampsandlenses.com is a gamble 200 1988

Now 13 months after installation one of the lampsandlenses.com, DJAuto tail light assemblies, one of the red lens is turning pink.

I accidentally contacted SwedishCarparts that I bought my headlight assembly replacements from. After some trouble on their part I realized I had the wrong shop. They know about lampsandlenses.com through a law suit where light products sold by others had a fraudulent trademark sticker attached identifying their SwedishCarparts.

The light had shorted out and burned the car and part of a house up. They were being sued for selling faulty merchandise.

I did find the correct receipt for my purchase and contacted lampsandlenses.com. They could care less about what they sold me. The other company is sending a replacement red lens gratis because the could sympathize. Dealing with lampsandlenses.com is not worth the 10-20 dollar difference.

LESSON: Do not buy anything that does not have a Manufacturer Name and Product number available and in the purchase order receipt or check out window.

'88 244 rear tail light -- DJAUTO #TVV701 200 1988

DJAUTO (out of Tiawan!!) with a product # TVV701 LH or RH.

After less than a month the tail lights are showing moisture condensing on the inside of the lens.

Have I been scammed?
--------------------------------------
Purchased replacement tail light assemblies from LampandLense.com.

The part references (1372226 [left] and 1372227 [right]) is the same as everywhere else but that number is not on the Lamp and Lense part.

The tail lights are by DJAUTO (out of Tiawan!!) with a product #TVV701 LH or RH.
I would not have bought these if I knew they came from China ... but you need to pull teeth to get parts suppliers to tell you what their parts are ... it seems to be a hide and seek game to camouflage price differences ... ??

FYI -- I got no hits for "Valeo/Cibie" (mentioned in other reply)

AND -- the DJAUTO product name and number are cast on the lense!
(At least they are willing to own the product)

ALSO --My original tail light assemblies is stamped "CBI 80 76 AA" "Made in France"
