Well I tried to install my LED lighs today, the POS wont fit, the company made the nut studs too long, there was 1/2inch gap between the lights and rear quarter panels.

Can't you just modify them in some way to make them fit. Or send them back and let them know they won't fit. I'm sure they would replace them knowing they don't fit. Seems kinda silly to immediately give up and sell them. Especially since you've acknowledged they don't fit.

Good luck, hope you get it resolved. I can understand not wanting to have to tinker with them to get them to work, but it's good you atleast contacted them to see what they can do for you.

Wow. Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble wtih the L.E.D.'s. My lights fit perfectly. All I had to modify,and it wasn't really modifying-it was more like relocte,was the box the came attached to the wiring. I just got some electrical tape and got creative with the relocation. I hope I can persuade you into keeping them & just working with them a bit. Once you have a pair you kind of wonder why GM didn't put them on the car from the factory. I mean it is supposed to be a specialty vehicle so that would have just further made it different from the other GP's.

You know it'sbeen a minute since I installed my L.E.D.'s so I've forgotten actually how long the studs were but I do know that I did I didn't run onto any major problems. It's probably just that set. You're right if you try another set you might have better results. Good luck.

Yeah thats what I did as well, but I notice on my car there is a silver clip on the quarter panel and bumper on the very corner of the tail light.
