Thread: Rip off of the week

A recent happy discovery was car parts via Aliexpress - purchased a new rear tailight for a Nissan Qashqai - $80 (included LED panel and indicator bulb). Repco told me I'd have to go to a Nissan dealer to find one, and estimated $3-400.

you have to watch some of the asian tail light plastics, they fade and you end up with white lights to the rear

plus some of the cheap shit lights dont even fit properly, throw a shit beam pattern, leak water into them or sometimes the wof guy wont pass it as it doesnt have standards markings on them so ends up not being so cheap after all.

Must admit that was my main concern - although figure can go through a few of them for the price of a OEM part!
