[robb1887]

Memememe! Will do the swap since it’s still nice weather here and my little monster gets out often.

PM incoming.

Current "stock" of retro lights are sold out, but have no fear a parts order was just placed to make the next batch. I should have a few ready in a week or two if you need one.

I do have ONE "scratch and dent" that has a repaired crack in the visible lens. With a bit of more polishing and elbow grease it would likely be unnoticeable, or run it as is. Great opportunity for a track car to allow flashing that doesnt need to be cosmetically perfect. It is available at a $35 discount, so $115 SHIPPED (Cont. US).

Hi Robb

Just checking in, is Option A available at this time? My car is parked outside so I'd prefer Option A over B. Thanks!

I have the "scratch and dent" in stock ready to ship. I'm working with one buyer that had an issue with his core return, and USPS with a insurance claim that is dragging on since September. I hope to have a new batch ready in a few weeks. I do not beleive I even have any boards ready to "chop and swap" with a Option B light so I need to place an LED order soon to work the ones I have.

Hi Robb, I'll take the scratch and dent. Please PM me with paypal details. Thanks!

Also, once I receive and replace, I will send you my Original for an Option B replacement so i can have a spare.

Edit: NM, found your payment details in my inbox. Payment sent for the unit.

[robb1887]

Until further notice, I can only offer option B swaps. Unfortunately due to USPS damage (and an ECS backordered light) and a bad core, I have no spares to offer option A swaps.

If anyone has a brake light to sell, let me know.

Thanks.

[robb1887]

I have 4 quick swap boards ready to rock for option B turn around times being one working day. Shipping back is Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday.

[robb1887]

Great news is my ECS order placed in the beginning of November is showing up today with a brand new light

I'll have an Option A swap available this weekend.

The NEW core swap will have a small premium price bump as it will be brand new LED retrofitted in MINT condition. Price is $250 SHIPPED.

Best new price I can find shipped averages $280-320 depending on the source and these will still have the junk incandescent bulbs that will eventually burn out again.

I'll take it if it's not claimed yet.

I have first and second dibs on the new light already. if they fall through I'll reach out. Option B is always an option or Ill have used core hopefully in rotation soon.

[robb1887]

The Option A new core has been sent out, so we're back to our regularly scheduled pricing. A new Option A should be available after the holidays.

I have Option B parts ready to swap and turn around in a day. Return shipping days are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.

[robb1887]

3 months, 3 appeals, 3+ phone calls, a 3 page timeline of events, with 8 supporting references documents finally convinced USPS that my insurance claim is valid and approved.

FINALLY.

Man what a headache.

New Option A light ready to ship today

[robb1887]

Two cores show up tomorrow. I should have boards swapped and ready for the next Coupe later this week. One may already be spoken for.

[geomazu]

trying to figure the difference between A and B...Im interested.

[robb1887]

trying to figure the difference between A and B...Im interested.

A) You send me photos of your light to verify its satisfactory for reuse, pay for the light + core deposit, I ship you a core swap light, you install the new light, you return your core, I refund you core deposit

B) You ship me your light, I rework it, you pay for the light, I return your light

I have a core light ready to ship tomorrow for option A, I have pre-worked light boards ready for option B. If you'll be at Schuh I plan to bring them some as well.

[DasShoe]

Happy customer chiming in here!
Thank you Robb for the great service and product.

[robb1887]

Thanks DasShoe!

[robb1887]

Bump, Schuh orders complete. New core is in had ready to ship.

[robb1887]

I'm really starting to loathe USPS.... another light SNAFU that is been delivered to the local regional facility and been "lost" there since Sunday and is 'delayed, still on it's way'. B.S. I can drive to the regional facility in 30 minutes, why is it taking 5 days.

Hey robb1887, new Z3 coupe owner and new to this forum. For some reason I can't figure out how to send you a DM. Do you have an email or perhaps you can DM me? I don't know if there's a probation period to have DM capabilities. I have a 99 Z3 coupe 2.8 and the whole third brake light isn't working.

DMs/PMs require 5 posts to "unlock"

If the ENTIRE light isn't working there is a 95% chance you have a breakage in the wiring loom going from the body to the hatch. The 3rd brake light wiring passes through the driver side boot. I would start there, but will happily provide an LED replacement if needed.

[robb1887]

Bump. Had an opportunity to present itself that I couldn't pass on. Need to sell some lights to take some of the edge off
