Default my New DJM side markers are not so..

Check your side markers for water.....

I got them from Ricks on April 25th ... I did sent 2 email and No responce
(Saturday and Monday Night... Tuesday 930AM and no Reply, yet.)

It has not rained.... Car is garage kept....

They look great, I'm glad I got them.... but water has me worried

I have washed my car one time with water....
and dont blast the car with water ..... just lightly spray it.

some one else posted.... they have water inside also and I read the New, improved JDM clear side markers was to take car of this?

I have them out sitting in the sun to dry out....
When I installed them ... they were a TIGHT fit... Tight

maybe the Clear lens is not Air tight..... the back side there the bulb housing fits.... it looks perfect

Everything about them looked great.... but the water will make them fail sooner

Hopefully someone from Ricks will have a good answer and get out a replacment soon

You need to check your spam filter, I have replied to both e-mails.


But, here is a short version. We will be happy to replace them with a new set. We are waiting for our stock order to enter the country. It should be here anyday.

Interesting, these were supposed to be better than OEM / JDM. Of course this is only one occurence that we know of so far..............

Edit: Second set.

I would apply some Shin-Etsu grease to the rubber gasket before a re-install.

How do I know you even use S2ki.com from your e-mail. We don't collect handles.

Again, we will be happy to replace them once we have them in-stock again.

I got all the other email from my completed orders from you at....
@artsci.com
@ricks2k.com

I do list out my Email, PM and my www. page so people can get ahold of me if needed

I sent you my phone #, a email with copy of that order and a PM
with a copy of the order


I'm not sure why it has water inside...

the product looks great in person on my car.... and your Web page Info on the product sounds great

maybe there is just 1 or 2 that are leaking?

How long until new ones? Days... Week... Month...?

will you just ship it out ... or please .... let me know before shipping

Do you want the defictive one?... see why water gets in?

Thank you for the follow through
sorry for any problem this has caused you... I just like it right the first time.
I do not like to find time a second time for anything.

I've also had mine a month; they also have water inside. A couple of washings; one torrential though brief downpour. I hadn't decided whether to raise the issue. Certainly, other than the water they looks good.

I've heard of people drilling a small hole in the bottom to let them drain. Anybody think that sounds like a good idea, or a bad one?

Bad Idea. Please rasie the issue to us and we will ship out a replacement. We do need to get them back as we in turn can get credit.
