The status of my order appears as fraudulent and I am not getting any updates. I hope they send it to me and if not, I get a refund.Business Response

Good morning. I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and unease this has caused you. We use a third party type of system that calculates certain aspects of customer input information then delivers a score. The system will cancel the order if the score is too high and flag it as potential fraud. We also received the email from the customer requesting to cancel their order on 01/13/25 which we replied to. Somehow the manual interference interrupted the fraudulent refund process. We will make sure the total paid price is refunded. We are available by phone as well at ************. Thank you for your patience.Initial Complaint

I ordered a set of headlights for my car from a website that clearly said 30 day returns and the lights for not work properly on my car when I attempted to have them professionally installed at a mechanics shop. I tried to get a return label so I could send them back and get my money back and the company will not return themBusiness Response

It was explained to the customer that unfortunately he ordered incorrectly. His vehicle came equipped with LED DRLs. It specifies on the listing that the assembly is "Compatible on Halogen Models without LED DRL Only."
The customer emailed us on 12/19/2024 stating that the headlights caused a short so we requested vehicle information as well as photos and or video of his OEM assembly as a troubleshooting measure. Customer insisted on a refund on 12/27 without providing us with the photos requested. On 01/06/2025 is when we received the photos which showed us that their vehicle came equipped with LED DRLs. We advised the customer that we can accept the set back minus the shipping cost and minus a restock fee. We wanted to see the condition of the set to make sure they weren't used and actually able to be restocked so we asked for photos on 01/13/2025 which were sent to us on 01/15. We sent the customer a prepaid return label on 01/15. Its currently in transit. Once its delivered it will be inspected and a partial refund will be issued Again, the shipping cost and restock fee will be deducted per our policy which can be found on our website. We have a process that we must follow. We apologize for the frustration that may have been felt. Thats never our intent. Often times, with a few photos and a video or two, we're able to provide some instruction on how to fix an issue without a return needed. In other cases, we discover that the wrong item was purchased. In either event, we do try our best to assist the customers and provide them with a suitable remedy. If there are any other concerns the customer may reach out to us directly Monday through Friday from 9am-6pm PST.Initial Complaint

I bought parts from this company that turned out to be defective. All attempts to resolve the issue have been exhausted. The dont reply to emails, they do answer the phone but all I get is constant run around putting the blame on their warehouse yet they say they have no direct line to this warehouse.Business Response
Date: 05/22/2024
Hello,
We have this order noted under escalation. Since these products are not directly from our warehouse they need to be returned back to the distribution warehouse with their return label. We do appreciate your patience with us.
A return label was issued to you and fully authorized for a return for refund of the product as well. I believe you had received several emails and calls in regards to this a couple days ago explaining the situation. Return label is sent via email; please check your spam folder just in case it was filtered out.

the headlights where delivered march 9 2024, I installed the headlights on march 9 . the headlights where really tight fitting . On march 10 I pull into are shop to adjust heigh setting on the lights , it was imposible to adjust the lights to the correct ride hight for the truck , without the lights binding up against outer grill around the headlights. During the time of ajusting lights i broke cheep plastic ajuster . i find it almost impossible properly set the headlights without breacking them. this is 3 set headlights ive installed in this 1998 **** during its liftime , never had any trouble before now , but i was using lights purchased from diffent company. protuninglabs basically told me lights where over torque . i tried to explain to them they dont fit correctly and lights in bind the hole time your ajusting them . the one light i got ajusted broke the cheep ajuster off just driving down interstate. I understand more about them after reading 51 bad reviews of broken lights are defective hardware from ****************************************** Apparenty its never there fault . seems like ****** headlights would fit properly. i dont mind paying more as long as i get product that fits and works without modifiing the vehicle to make them work. its my own fault for not looking them up on BBB before my purchase . Just a note Ive installed headlights several times a year on are older farm trucks without problem .Business Response

Based on the pictures shown these are ****** shown to be broken. We do not cover installation faults and broken parts. These are plastic adjusters so at certain angles and leverage you can break them easily. All you have to do is just thread them in and out behind frame to bolt them on. We are unsure what this customer has done to break the adjustment plastic tools but it was definitely done with force as the plastic can be seen entirely broken off from the headlight itself (the end piece is where it was attached to on the back of the headlight). This would definitely not be a product issue.Initial Complaint

Ordered fender flares for **** ***** Silverado, said it was oe no modification needed. The product was either wrong part or very poorly made. When I contacted protuning labs about refund,I went thru 6 different correspondences to be told there's a $55 shipping label fee and 10 to 20 % restocking fee . Which comes to almost what I paid for product.. this is unacceptable..Thank you, ******Business Response

Hello
Since this is a very popular item that is sold every single day, if there are issues we do need to verify the issue to assist.
It would not make sense if one out of 15 of these have fitment issues since they are molded from machines. The differences between each sets are at most a couple mm off.
Our return policy also states that defects must be shown of the product to receive a full return shipping label. If there are no legitimate fitment issues, the eligibility of receiving a full refund may not be possible.
If you would like to send in actual pictures of the fitment issues instead of a picture of microwaved salmon, and shipping labels we would like to assist you. If not, we aren't really able to assist you with this issue..

I am rejecting this response because: I expected this response, so with nothing to lose I proceeded to modify your flares , that were an inch off not millimeters. But after $20 dollars in nuts, bolts,and washers and a couple hours with a heat gun and some trimming. I made your c*** product look acceptable..
Sincerely,

We can assist but the pictures you sent in are not adequate to verifying there is a defect or issue with the product. While I understand things like this may happen to products, installation errors do happen on the daily with customers. This is why we ask for a lot of pictures to verify and check what the issue is. We could have assisted but the same pictures were sent via email which were just 3 pictures of the shipping label. We can't verify a defect from just pictures of the shipping labels. All that tells us it the tracking and recipient.Initial Complaint

We apologize about the confusion but I believe you had called in in regards to the issue on the order being marked as rejected.

I ordered parts on Nov 18th for my Boyfriends Truck as a Christmas present. They dont fit his truck. I contacted them on 1/10/23 to tell them they dont fit. Ive been in contact with them every other day or at least every week until today. 2/7/23. They offered a partial refund first and me modify the parts. Then I was told I ordered the wrong parts. No refund, cost to return, restocking fee, and pay to ship new ones. Then after send pictures and numerous emails they say I ordered the correct parts. Still cant get parts to fit the truck. They wont give a refund which I didnt want, I wanted the parts that fit. Now they are telling me Im stuck with $50 parts that I cant use. Customer satisfaction is not a priority for themBusiness Response

Hello
The issue is that the order was way over the 30 day period. We can't issue a refund, exchange, or return if the order is beyond that period point. This is why in our return policy and website it states that we are able to assist you with returns within that time frame.
If it's beyond that time frame we are not able to assist

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2023/01/13) */ There is a misconception in how this headlight functions. Foremost the factory bulb size 1157A meaning it has a dual filament ; hence a parking light and a turn signal function in that bulb. The aftermarket turn signal bulb is a single filament; therefore it can only do the turn signal function. However this is not an issue at all since the parking light function is now wired up to the additional Dual Halos and LED strips on this unit which illuminate quite a lot more than the original bulb. For state safety inspections it does not include anything in regards of your original turn signal bulb needing to be a dual filament or a single filament. All lights must be operational and up to standard to determine if your vehicle has issues that may cause an accident on the road. The following are checked during the safety inspection: brake system, body and chassis, defrost, electrical system, exhaust system, fuel system, glass and mirrors, horn, lighting system, odometer, steering, suspension, tires, and windshield wipers/washing system Our website does not list specifically as the turn signal being the parking light. The misconception of the turn signal wiring issue is not within our liability nor can we cover for it. This item has been selling for almost a decade without any issues with state inspection so we are confident that it will pass unless a bulb or component is out; then that would be a defect with the headlight that will require exchange or a replacement part in which we would cover. However in this case, it is just an assumption that the switch in parking light features on this aftermarket headlight will cause a failure in safety inspection when in fact it will produce no difference whether the parking light is the dual filament orange turn signal bulb, or the LED units that this aftermarket headlight advertises. The requirements of a headlight function to pass DOT and SAE inspections for sales in the U.S. follows as : - Low Beams - High Beams - Parking Lights - Turn Signals Therefore the liability of the product being returned is not upon our company. We are not able to reduce the restocking fees on this order as there is no fault of the product or our company. The item looks exactly like how it's pictured on the website and the compatibility is fine. Our reviews are 3.92/5 with 10,589 reviews on resellerratings which is the only link we send you after an order is verified on email address to leave us a legitimate review. All other websites, made up websites, personally produced websites, or websites not associated with us are not legitimate reviews and can be produced by false orders under the presumption of the same items sold by different vendors. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2023/01/19) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The state *************** require a side marker light to be dual function and work as a side marker ( parking light ) as well as a blinker. These headlights that were bought do not have a side marker light and it only acts as a turn signal . I checked this with multiple garages throughout *********************** before returning the item. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2023/01/24) */ We are not able to assist you with this. We never advertised the item to have a side marker bulb.Initial Complaint

I paid this buisness $157.98 for headlights for my vehicle on 11/14/22. The headlights arrived to me, I put them in my vehicle and they were out of adjustment. So I tried to adjust the headlight beams using the adjuster screws and they are defective. So my headlights do not properly display light on the roadway nearly like they should. I want a full refund but they are saying that isn't an option because I don't have to original packaging. In my case I don't see how that matters because I paid money for a product that is defective. Horrible customer service.Business Response
