AAC 194 Bulbs

[TonyNo]

Just to document the process as I have heard both pro and con about them.

While we were at Hooters in Rockford, I noticed that one of my license plate bulbs was flickering (bought in mid-November). I pulled it out to investigate and found that two of the five LED's were the culprit (they were on opposite sides). I shot an email to AAC last night and got a response tonight to fill out a warranty replacement form, pack up the bulb and receipt, and ship it to them. They would evaluate it and either send it back to me or send a replacement.

I responded to them that I would do this, but, I should not have to pay shipping if it was under warranty. I also suggested that they cross-ship replacements. We'll see what their response is.

Well I can say I have a return receipt from them if you want to put them in the same box with my bowtie...and my fog lights...As mine are bad....and need to be replaced.

Ive heard about these kinds of problems with them, are they worth dealing with anymore?

[TonyNo]

Nice!

AAC said that they can cross-ship new parts and process a refund when the defective ones are returned and found to be bad.

Ugh. They are charging $17 for a single 194, $8 for USPS shipping (cheapest option), and will not refund shipping costs for me shipping the bad one back or them sending the cross-shipped one to me.

I guess I will save some money and ship the bad one back and wait for the new one to come.

There is no reason to pay $17 for a single 194, your better than that Tony.

[TonyNo]

That would be refunded if I did it that way.

Interesting. Here is a pic of the one that flickers and one that is fine. They both look pretty discolored.

Just received two new bulbs (they received mine on Friday, 8/6). Satisfied!
