LED Lighting for Combi (Wagon)

[Twin_Dad]

having traveled the world reviewing manufacturing processes for an other industry I completely agree with you Slick (wow that sounds like old man talk). Hence the reason I had suggested it depends on what you are willing to spend.

However that does not necessary guarantee a good product. I've inspected the same parts from different continents and it's always the facility and the pride of the workers which gives the best results (quite often at the cheapest cost).

Don't get me wrong, I know that the manufacturing variation in my $2.85 10x pack is going to be extreme but as a manufacturing Engineer I am fascinated as to how some of these items can be made for what I know is below cost to the rest of the world.

Having now stripped down the SuperSkoda parts and confirmed that the manufacturing is the same (and is actually worse than one of the low cost Chinese LED's), paying a premium does not guarantee a good quality part.

Changing from any OEM tested part to an aftermarket part involves some risk and if you do change these parts you should monitor them a little more carefully regardless of who makes it.

And AutoSlick I would love to assist you in developing solutions for the Skodas if you are serious about developing Australian compliant parts and not just on-selling the same "might work" parts that other sites stock. But as with all developed countries industries your barriers are going to be cost of R&D and compliance.

btw I noticed the 1/5th's on your site. Reminded me to pull out my FG Baja and have a tinker see about firing it up for spring time Cheers
