bad business choice by classic industries
The actual grille install took less than 20 minutes. We screwed around with the light bulbs and sockets for an hour and a half.
@ClassicIndustries3 I'm very disappointed in the quality of some of the parts that I received. The grille itself was nice and installation was straight forward. The problem was with the sockets and bulbs for the turn signals. Cheap Chinese crap! The bulbs only had one of the two pieces sticking out which guide and lock the bulb into the socket. I thought, OK I'll run to the store and get some good Sylvania bulbs. Wrong! When I plugged the new bulbs into the new sockets, they were still extremely loose and wouldn't light up properly. We'd get one side to work and then install it in the grille only to find that it wouldn't work once installed. Wiggle the wires a little and the turn signal started working. Very poor tolerances left the new bulbs wiggling and giggling inside the socket. We have them working for now, but if they go out again, I'll be looking for new sockets and hopefully will be able to find some that aren't made in China.
