I sent you $294.75 for the set of Post face lift EDM headlights last month, and you sent me a pm on the 27th saying that they had been shipped. Well so in a check up Pm I sent you on saturday you replyed to me yesterday with...
"Hi matt,

No, there won't be tracking number. It is economic parcel and does not have it.
I have not sent them. Sorry I have been too lazy , my fault.
I have got some cushion and gone to the post office but it was open only by the morning being August.
I am going now cause of work a week outside town.
Now I am finishing some reports an its 3:00 am here.

Hope you don't mind this delay, I'm so embarrased.

Alvaro."
So basically you lied to me about the fact that you had shipped them on the 27th of july. I will be satisfied and not angry with you if you do 1 of two things at this point. Either A- (prefered) Give me my money back... Or B- Send me my edm headlight set!
Its not cool that you have not responded to any of my pms or emails or even the complaint I filed with paypal last night. I don't know if you just haven't checked your computer yet or whats going on here. I'm really starting to worry that you are nothing but a scammer. Please prove me wrong.

I hope he makes this right, otherwise this will forever become a permanent searchable record for anyone intending to do business with this guy. This is the sort of specific post that is necessary to avoid any future incidents.

Good luck man!

FWIW, I had no problems with him on my EDM HVAC transaction...

well thats good to hear. Wish I could say the same.

SuperRallyRoo · Post by **SuperRallyRoo** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:49 am

He did come threw on the deal sort of... I got a set of edm headlights in the mail today. They are not for the car I asked for however. They seem to be the set of headlights for a 97-99 legacy. I said post face lift 92. So I have no use for this $294.75 set of wrong headlights. I don't know what Alarvo wants to do about this situation. I am happy to find out that he isn't trying to scam anyone, at this point I don't know if he wants me to send these back at his expense, or maybe if someone on this board wants to by a set of lights for there newer legacy for what I paid for them?
Anyway... this is what I got in the mail...

This is what I need...

What to do...?
They where packaged very nicely...

I would say that if he wont take them back, you can try and sell them on nasioc or there is probably another legacy forum for that generation and they will probably love something like that, just say they are JDM and not EDM.

Alvaro Alonso · Post by **Alvaro Alonso** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 4:15 pm

Hello,
First of all, I want to say that Matt's were shipped on 27 july.
The post I sent him about not having delivered them was a confussion. Somehow I tought he was Jerry Macavitt (another forum member buyer) whose headlights I have not shipped still.
So Matt's got there on time which is supposed to be up to two months depending on the international postal hubs.
I don't know why he assumed it would only take two weeks.

It is so bad those are not 92-94. I trusted the junk yard,
I will refund fully what I charged, I give my word.

I will start a new thread to try to sell those headlights If anyone helps me to identify which year are they for.

Alvaro

Jeremy, why is it interesting to say they are JDM instead EDM?

SuperRallyRoo · Post by **SuperRallyRoo** » Tue Aug 29, 2006 4:27 pm

Ya sorry for all the confusion Alarvo. I didn't assume it would take two weeks, you kind of made it sound like they would arrive in 2 weeks... I am glad you are helping me out by trying to sell them for me and refunding my money. It sucks how this went through, I know you where just helping me out but I guess there was just a lot of confusion one both of our parts. Two different first languages and all...

Glad to hear this is being resolved. Miscommunication can get out of hand

Alvaro Alonso · Post by **Alvaro Alonso** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 2:44 am

I have been searching, trying to discover wich year are those EDM's but can't find anything.
The most similar are 95-98, but those I've seen have the corner lamp integrated like this

Do USA legacys have those corner lamps integrated?

SuperRallyRoo · Post by **SuperRallyRoo** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 3:01 am

ya I think they are 98-99, and certian 97 model outbacks.

free5ty1e · Post by **free5ty1e** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 5:18 am

Our corner lamps have separate housings from the headlight, but that assembly looks awfully familiar...

sandals · Post by **sandals** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 3:49 pm

yeah, they fit USDM with body style BD/BG. are these glass? if so, pm me with the asking price.

what i'd really *love* is a set of EDM projectors.... :p

SuperRallyRoo · Post by **SuperRallyRoo** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 6:37 pm

They are glass. non projectors, but they have city lights inside of them.

Post by **Legacy777** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 6:43 pm

Those lights will fit the USDM 95-99 Legacy.

tried to pm you but does not appear in my sentbox.

The set is glass and has city lights. Is in good condition. I would ask for what Matt paid but it is negotiable

wiscon_mark · Post by **wiscon_mark** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:43 pm

FWIW, EDM spec headlights have WAY better lenses than USDM lenses.

Also- for the BD/BG/BK series (in the US), the single piece headlights were 95-96 and the dual piece were '97-99. Although any can be swapped to the other.

fixed it for you

hmmm, you're probably right. Are you sure it wasn't a mid-year change? Some of those things were.

georryan · Post by **georryan** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 4:52 am

I got a set of Headlights from Alvero, and they were exactly what I wanted and exceptionally clean (he cleaned them up). So I'd just like to put in the good word for him.

SuperRallyRoo · Post by **SuperRallyRoo** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 4:29 am

well I have a wrong set that I can't even get rid of now. I still would like a set of the correct edm headlights but we are both too poor to make that happen. He did refund me $114.00 after the paypal took there fare chunk of money out of the currency change over. Or whatever its called. There extra $24.00 charge for changing euros to american dollars.

93Leg-c · Post by **93Leg-c** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 8:32 am

I was just wondering--anyone knows which set of lights are better--the edm ones that SuperRallyRoo has or the JDM projector lights with plastic lenses?

wiscon_mark · Post by **wiscon_mark** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 3:14 pm

I would guess that the projectors are better, but aiming them properly is the real trick.

Luckily, it is possible to aim them so they do a nice job but still stay out of people's eyes. I'm very happy with mine.

SuperRallyRoo · Post by **SuperRallyRoo** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 2:58 am

Plastic yellows... JDM ones are illegal and aimed wrong for US roads. You would be constantly blinding people on the left.
