APC is GARBAGE!!! (rant)
as said in the subject.. APC can kiss my @$$! i bought some of their "7 series fog lights" that have halo rings around them (approx. 2.75" wide) and you're suposed to be able to changed the color of the rings by the push of a button (7 colors to choose from!)... NOT!
well i hooked em all up, only to find that the "halos" do not light up. there are small LED's at the bottom of the rings, that are multicolored when you hit the switch. the switch doesnt change the rings' colors.. but i do see 7 colors. seriously disapointed.. so this is just a rant about how disgusting APC is, and that i will never buy another cheap*** product from them!

Can't you exchange them for working ones? Especially if it had missing hardware?

that sux big time sam.
Re: APC is GARBAGE!!! (rant)
About a year ago NHTSA ordered a recall on some of their tailights and fined them $750,000. Sorry Sam for your experience, but that's why from now on I am sure you will buy from a trusted name. Optilux makes some fog lights with a halo. At least they are somewhat associalted with Hella. Still cheap quality stuff.

APC Stering Wheels are good, their actually made by GT (grant) and distributed under APC's name for a cheaper price.Originally posted by babyblueMX3:
