I was pretty disappointed with the poor quality of the sidelights on the Surf and decided to replace them with some LED sidelights with some of the proceeds of a few eBay sales I've been making recently (selling off some old bike bits & bobs that have been sitting in the shed/garage for years).
Having taken the old sidelights off I can see why they were so poor - one of them was pretty poorly smoked up for a start.
Anyways, I replaced them with these. Not the cheapest ones available but having looked around at a few different possibilities I plumped for them anyway.
The first pair turned up last week. One sidelight didn't work at all and the other one only worked if I wiggled it around a wee bit. Phoned them up, they were very apologetic and said they were getting a fresh delivery of a better design this week and that they would send me a pair out as soon as they turned up. They didn't want the old ones returning so no postage costs for me either.
The new pair turned up this morning and a couple of minutes later they were on the Surf.
Well worth it and nice to treat myself to them!
If only all fleabay transactions went that easily...!
