Default Just found out my 97+ is part knockoff

Thanks to member aliga. Can't believe it. I bought a 97+ LED finally after 4 months and come to find out it doesn't even fit into the spoiler due to the different connecting ends. Its not a real OEM spoiler.



Can anyone tell me the manufacturer? Does it even have one or is cheap trash? I need the dam LED replacement


-Thanks CL

Why don"t you splice your old plug to the new and call it a day?

It won't fit in the spoiler. The shape is completely off.

Did you get one from a 92-96?

edit: that looks like the light from the aftermarket 92-96 OEM style spoiler.. it comes with a different light. I think Peter_95 has that tail because his spoiler light looks like the one you got

oh, when you said connecting, I assumed you were talking about the plug since that is the only thing that connects
wow bummer, if it don't fit.

How so? I'm sure he won't give me a refund because its my fault. Or did you not read what I wrote where I said bought it from him in the first place?

I feel like an idiot, I had the car for a year and thought I was rolling full 97+...thanks SCBoy will look into that.

i must be confused. so your car is a LEGIT 97+ car right? it looks so from pic. if you ordered a 97+ LED from aliga and got the wrong one, he'll take care of you...
i am assuming i have something wrong...and i did re-read it too

looks like a 97+ spoiler to me. i'd check with aliga. take out the old one and take a pic and show it to him, i'm sure he'll take care of you on that.
