Good to know.
I've never had any trouble with them ... other than the coating on their JDM Yellow bulbs turning brown after a few months. What a waste of 30 bones.

OMG!!! This guy replied to me pretty fast because of my angry email I sent...lol...
He said I got the lights...what is he smoking??...Why would I call and leave a message (with 2 phone #'s) and email twice??

This is what he said!!!

This second one we attempted to contact you to let you know that we are out of stock and offer you a different color and or series or a full refund. We are still willing to offer you the same thing. If you can please let us know what you would like us to do we will do it in a speedy manner for you.

Thank You,

I honestly do not recommend luminicsbulbs for the tC. I have a habit of leaving my headlights on as running lights, since they shut off when the door opens. Because of this TWO sets of bulbs have fried TWO completely different harnesses. The stock ones went pretty quick, after about 3 months. The aftermarket harness that LUMINICSBULBS sent me went after about 6 months. The bulb casings are too hot to touch after minutes of use.

My first problem took two months to resolve. I was contacted immediately though. My second issue, well, its been over a month and they have yet to repond to IMs, emails, or web-form submissions. I've also filed a BBB-online complaint about a week ago. Nothing.

I just got my set of luminics bulbs with no problems, and I have to say they are pretty sweet.

Automotive lighting USA is an incredible company, I have ordered about 7 or 8 different sets of bulbs from them, with great customer service, incredible shipping, and great prices. I have ordered many sets of the Nokya yellow bulbs, and they are great. I ordered a couple sets of the Racing R krypton yellow ones, and they burnt up kind of quick, but they were like $8 a pair, so you get what you pay for. Give them a shot, you shouldnt be dissapointed

Hey Whats Up guys, it's Ryan from www.AutomotiveLightingUSA.com

Thanks for the positive comments, I just came across this thread & i'm glad to hear of your positive experiences with our service.

Just an FYI - Luminics bulbs are some great products, however the manufacturer doesn't sell directly to the public, and LuminicsBulbs.com and LuminicsDirect.com are other retailers just like we are - the only difference is that we carry a wider selection including Nokya, PIAA, Polarg, Raybrig, MTEC, Koito, etc.

Additionally, we guarantee that your order will ship within 48 hours (most ship within 24). At the moment we have 100% of the products listed on the website in stock & ready to ship today.
