Stupid influencer bull****. This story is as old as the cars we drive, even older. Some "enthusiast" gets an idea falls on their *** when it comes to execution.

Do yourself a favor: Trash them, write it off as lesson learned, and buy a set of porsche factory lights and put some high quality LEDs in them. You can even wire the euro fog locations as extra brake lights (what I do).

Done.

And, NEVER PAY FOR STUFF UP FRONT!!!! You lose all leverage. Especially if it's cash.

I ordered the headlights and the bloomer rear to go in a 964 project. Will keep everyone informed on status. Communication with him was as the OP stated - a disaster and I had to publicly post on his IG that I hadn't heard for him in order to get a response.

I ended up making my own by modifying the OE lamps (Bi-LED, DRL w/ Switchback Turnsignals) on my 993 - in the 993 tech forum.

Me too. LED headlights for under $200 and look/perform probably better than all the A/M as you can still adjust them on the car.

Thanks all for the support and feedback. I'm heading to Air / Water so may pop by the alleged 9Eleven office and see if it's open - but as many of you are stating, it's a lesson learned. I will buy a new set of OEM taillights (sold my original set), and do an LED upgrade / conversion to them.

Good luck to the brave souls sending Lee at 9Eleven money. The guy is probably partying it up in the Maldives right now.....

WTF are you talking about. I ordered the products (paid for the too) then they took forever to arrive and had to resort to public IG posts to get a response.

if he would have just been honest that he is a broke hobbyist trying to start out it may have been better.

Get lost.

Damn, relax. I get it, the communication was after the sale, makes sense. Regardless, I'd probably cancel any order if made to wait for something more than a week or so. Hope they work out !
