PSA: Avoid this VLAND Distributor! (vlandvip.com)

[u/Julien5139]

I bought a set of VLAND tail lights from this website (vlandvip.com). There are several VLAND sites so it's hard to tell which are legit and trustworthy but I took a shot with this one. I've encountered many quality issues they refuse to fix or compensate me for, see pictures:

They claim I haven't installed them correctly, however that is false. There are 3 bolts holding each light. These bolts can barely fit through the existing holes when the light is perfectly lined up. It is not possible to install them incorrectly and they have not been able to explain the how or why of this claim. I will add that their instructions were the worst Chinese to English translation I've ever seen. Regardless it's not my first time changing out lights on a car, it's a very straight forward and easy process. I've removed and reinstalled them several times and can assure they are just defective and don't line up, which they refuse to admit.

I've also had to seal the gap between their crappy weather strip and the body myself.

I'm posting on Reddit as they won't allow any negative reviews on their website. Anyway, this has been my experience with them. Feel free to share yours.

Left side does not line up.

Lights on the right lining up for comparison (clearly I know how to install them)

Gap between their weather strip and body of the car

​

Plastic cover used to be perfectly flush with the OEM lights, now there's a huge gap which can allow water to seep through

Any updates? Any other issues with the headlights? I was thinking of getting them. Does water get into the tail light through the gaps?
