I finally got a response...

Unfortunately we will not be producing headlamps for the Grand
Am/Prix. Thank you.

Kinda seems like a rude/brush off sort of response.

jeffsgt · 08-26-2004, 07:33 PM

Thanks Rich, I love em...

I recieved mine today. Man, these look FANTASTIC. The outside cover is "ribbed" just like stock GT tails. They even came out with bulbs installed! All you have to do is unplug the old one and plug new one in. That's it. I will post pictures tomorrow during the day.

hoobasta4 · 08-27-2004, 09:22 PM

Hey guys. Installed mine and took pics. If you want go to my cardomain web site

Hooby's GA @ Cardomain.com

I suggest anyone out there that is trying to decide whether or not to get these.. well let me tell you.. GET THEM!! You'd be stupid to pass these up and at such a great price!

Check out the pics! Leave me some feedback! Thanks!

i like them, but i dont like the chrome circles around the lights

jeffsgt · 08-28-2004, 07:02 AM

Yeah Hooby they look great. Black on black is the way to go. I think my wife is going with the chrome on her red 2002 gt.

AznGA · 08-28-2004, 11:26 AM

I just got Carbon Fiber ones on my silver car. I love it.

xxbackhillxx · 08-29-2004, 08:50 AM

if i get these tails im def. takin out those reflectors and painting over the chrome bordering.

AznGA · 08-29-2004, 02:01 PM

Well looks like the socket for the pass side brakelight is kinda loose, the tabs inside are loose and they are not holding the bulb well. It will come off while I drive. Other than that, I am happy with these. I am gonna contact TYC about this.

AznGA · 08-30-2004, 01:09 PM

UPDATE: Just got an e mail back from TYC, and here is what they had to say.

"We have identified the issue and are currently working on the
solution. The bulb does become loose after 5 min use with the lights on
either brake or park function. As soon as we have a fix for this, we
will notify everyone. Thank you."

Twisted_Reality · 08-30-2004, 05:30 PM

Sucks to hear that at least they no about the problem, Was going to buy myself a pair myself for my car cause they look badass but i think i might wait to buy mine

shadesofnight · 09-01-2004, 12:51 PM

Son of a whore. I just bought some this morning and now gagt.com is back online and I learn they have a problem... what luck! Oh well, I'm sure a solution will come to light or one of you crafty bastads will think of something.

Oh, and 02andahalfgt, I got that same response.

CyberRad · 09-01-2004, 12:53 PM

I havn't had a problem yet with mine.

shadesofnight · 09-01-2004, 01:51 PM

LOL, I saw that matrix racing hit up ebay selling the TYC's and trying to get like 250 out of em so I figured.. "what are they smoking?" and sent em an email...

"Why would anyone pay $250+ on lights they can get for $190 from a couple different sources?

His reply was as follows...
"Since the market rate of the Depo and IPCW ones were $250-$280, we priced it there. You can't get these other brands much less. Otherwise, as a dealer, they won't sell them to you anymore (for 'ruining' the market). TYC, perhaps, as they have no enforcement of minimum pricing, so anyone can sell near cost. Which sites do you see this? I did a search on google and didn't find them.

thanks,

Alex
Matrix Racing "

Hmmm... funny. Check out ebay, they are now down to $199 through Matrix.

I would also like to just say, these tails are by far the nicest Grand Am tails I have seen. The pictures that Yun posted of them dont do much justice, becuase in person, they look like they belong on the car, they are simply amazing.

thats my story of the day

zhd1000 · 09-02-2004, 01:49 PM

glad to hear so much positive talk about these.. i should be getting myself a pair this weekend, hope the problem gets a solution quick so i can fix it before the install...

zhd1000 · 09-05-2004, 01:34 AM

any updates on the problem?? i just won me a pair on ebay for 194 shipped, and i got the black ones

jeffsgt · 09-05-2004, 06:00 AM

So far so good with mine. I get so many comments on them. All good.
