Anyone ran into this issue during install? I currently have my OEM back into the Passenger trunk side and rest GTS so looks janky as hell.
If someone can help you out on the forums with this, that's great. Never had anyone else report a fitment issue. Worst case scenario, I'll send you a replacement set.

How did you manage to strip that screw going into a plastic piece?

Honestly, I'm not sure, the flange nut is just stuck and the top screw is now out of the housing where it's suppose to be.

Trunk one is PITA IMO. No one really showed in detail of the figment on install videos I looked up. All of them said push and clip and then screw it in place.

Abdul, could you please send a replacement? I got my OEM back on just fine under a few minutes. I've already PM you. Thanks.

+1 for Abdul. Finally got around to it. Inner lights driver side needed some massaging but passenger side went in like a breezy. Love the lights.

Thanks Abdul for quick delivery of these lights, I think it took speedy 3 days to get to me after my payment woohoo. Installed the lights without any issues and they work as they supposed to and look even better in person. Really compliments my BSM F80 M3C. I know I owe you all a pictures and a video..will be posting soon.

I bought vland from Amazon. Install is easy for my cs. Fitment is 8/10. I removed some padding from both of trunk lights near the insert otherwise both trunk lights won't go into the place. I am thinking remove more padding but too much work. Will post some pic later

I'm still awaiting for a confirmation from Abdul if he is able to send a replacement.

Can you elaborate on more details on the padding for the trunk lights?

I apologize that I have been MIA on the forums for the past week or so. Had some family problems that I had to take care of. I caught up on all my PMs. If I missed you, please PM again.

The first 50 sets that are arriving are already sold. I also upgraded the shipping for another 50 to air shipping vs sea shipping and those sets should arrive in 2 weeks. So you can still get a set of those if you place your order now.

Finally, I've been getting slammed by a lot of local vendors as well as manufacturers for my pricing. I will HAVE to increase my pricing soon. I'm just buying more time. So if you're interested, go ahead and place the order.

For F80 lights, I have a few smoked ones in stock and 2-3 more clear ones. I got lucky and asked them to sneak in some more lights with my F82 batch.

Here is a link to buy the F80 lights

Hi Abdul,
Do you have any updates for those of us who placed orders and are eagerly awaiting the F83 lights?

Thanks!

Just replied to your PM. Lights have arrived in USA and are awaiting clearance from the customs. The longest wait time is over which is the time from Asia to USA.
