Ebay vendor asking to change my negative feedback

[guam671]

Okay so I purchased those projectors/bumper light combo from ebay. Well I have 93 LX. And so long story short. It says 90-93 fits. Okay so I put them on. and sure enough they don't well not properly at least according to my wife(stateside). and the bumper lights not at all close. So they wrote back to me asking how to change the negative feedback. And I keep telling them to change their advertisement. And they keep telling me that they fit it doesn't matter. the year doesn't matter the model I.E. Sedan or coupe matters..I told them change their damn advertisement and I'll change my feedback. lol. So they keep sending me emails about this damn thing. I can't wait to get home from Iraq to call these damn people up.

Sounds to me like you've got more important shit to worry about

i kno..worrying about damn feedback comment

well the bumper lights are obviously for a 90-91 which is false advertising....

You should email them back and politely explain the year matters and not the body style. Provide them with part numbers if they disagree.......

You should have asked us before you bought them. 90% of the members here know that there's a clear difference between 90-91 and 92-93 front end lights. You'd need the corresponding bumper and grille to work with whatever year the headlights were made for. Though I guess if they said 90-93, as in universal, you had a 50% chance that they were made for your year.

I feel that they are advertising lights for a 90-93 accord which is true, they will fit (at least the headlights will) all applicable accords. It's not their fault you failed to investigate more upon your purchase, to find out if they were 9091 or 9293..

[deevergote]

They will fit, sure. Somewhat.

I wear a size 11 shoe. I could fit in a 10.5. I could fit in a 12. Doesn't mean it's right.


Headlights do differ considerably between 90-91 and 92-93. The wrong lights will produce very obvious and very unattractive gaps... not exactly something you want when you purchased the part to look good! (honestly, I think any lights like that look cheap and ugly... but that's my opinion.)

[guam671]

Yea I did email them back explaining that the headlights fit. Sort of with gaps, but the bumper lights don't. They insist it will. So I gave up and told them to call a honda parts store and ask I have other things to worry about.

As for asking on the site I knew by reading alot of post but as I am in Iraq and wifey needed to use my car and needed to get some lights for safety inspection. So she bought those, guess she tried to surprise me, but she ended up telling me they don't fit. So I said just leave it till I get back and I will get some other ones. Preferably I like the OEM retro. So go to the JY and get some.


Technically it is their fault. False advertisement.

[scanlessfool]

For the price you payed, why didn't you just purchase a set of JDM Stanley's? Not only would you have received quality, but superior fitment.

I say that because I loathe those lights as the light output sucks.

^ yea i kno. Wifey didn't know best. Gave an "A" for effort..

Lack of research or ignorance of the difference between 90-91 & 92-93 do not excuse a seller misleading\false advertising a product. You should have opened a case with ebay. Shown different Honda part numbers of both year ranges and maybe even pictures of the poor fitment. Your feedback is not going to change the way this seller sells (they have almost 30,000 feedback score), the only way to force them would be if ebay pinged them for the ad. I do understand though that sometimes its just time to say screw it and move on.

The main issue here is that MOST CB7 owners out there, even ones that would potentially order ebay headlights are NOT on this forum, we are a small select few in the greater sense of CB7 owners. Most throw on rims\tires and order some euro lights from ebay. Its these owners that the seller is really taking advantage of. And honestly, when you look on ebay and it shows a year range, most of people take that as its stated, even ive used ebay to determine fitment or compatibility on some level (though I will double check if I see any reason at all to do so).
