MikeyM Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) DO NOT USE CUSTOM LIGHTS in UK.. PEDRO GOIS Having spent several hundred quid on carbon dipping, RGB lighting ( which works ) I also had led side strips and led sequential indicators fitted.. This is the 2nd time Pedro has had my lights after they failed to work the first time and just ONE WEEK later.. they have failed yet again. Yes I could contact Pedro from Custom LIGHTING but this little prick has blocked me from his Facebook page, is not answering calls or messages now. So, spread the word people, don't let others get ripped off and then ignored ! Edited August 29, 2016 by MikeyM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 oh thanks for heads up. As was thinking of using him. Will avoid now. Quite shocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarg Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I hope you get your money back mikey, I personally would stay away from this sort of thing seen loads fail halos and other crap like this and they look dreadful imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Why has he blocked you? Could it possibly be because you've been more than a little abrupt with him? Not acceptable quality, I agree 100%, but then neither is being quite so sweary. So go on, honestly, were you polite with him right up until he blocked you, or did the odd Anglo-Saxonism slip in? Again, before anyone says I'm defending Pedro, I'm really not: This should most certainly NOT be happening. Juggalo is spot-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, before anyone says I'm defending Pedro, I'm really not: This should most certainly NOT be happening. Juggalo is spot-on. Actually you could not be further from the truth. He in fact got very defensive and abrupt with me on the first occasion I got the lights back and had an issue. I then got messed about regards getting them sorted and he made ME cover the costs of postage to repair HIS faulty workmanship.. And now, having gotten them back and fitted them for a 2nd time, they were fine, all worked ok..... for a week and then this. The video, the language..no apologies for it what so ever.. I treat people the way they treat me. If Pedro had any sense, yes, he would refund my money and end the matter, but I somehow doubt he has the good sense to do that and will force it into court which will cost him a dam sight more at the end of the day with costs, expenses etc etc not to mention the work he will lose from the publicity 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 That's fine bud, genuinely curious was all. Sorry if I came across as apologist for the guy, certainly didn't mean to. Court time it is, please let us know how you get on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 There is a user on here called Pedro isn't there? Just to clarify are we saying it's him or is our Pedro just an innocent bystander.

MikeyM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 No.. just to clarify I am NOT referring to any member on here with the same name.

MikeyM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Bad times. How much have you paid out so far for all this if you dont mind me asking? So far I am £500 out of pocket between initial work, postage, insurance etc ..TWICE ! I will just recover the money in court and obviously add costs, expenses etc etc Not forgetting my car has been off the road with no lights for almost 2 months as a result, hence why I ended up missing a few events I had booked and paid to attend with the club 😦 Edited August 29, 2016 by MikeyM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 You know you can't claim for the costs of missing those events, right? Unless included in the original contract of course, which I'm guessing it wasn't. I know you've not said you are going to, more a heads up in case you weren't aware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you've not said you are going to, more a heads up in case you weren't aware My best friend is a Barrister and is having a collegue of hers sort everything out for me and making sure I get as much back as possible from the little @*!#. I can assure everyone one fact, he has lost more work than he has cost me just from making the video clip public and word has spread ..and what's even better is, legally, he can do nothing about it either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 he can only do something if what you have posted is libelous or slanderous - which your video is obviously not as (apart from the profanity) its a statement of fact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi. Just thought I'd add my 2 cents. I have simalir if not the same led strip. I got condensation in my lens which trickled down to the edge where the leds sit and it caused something like this - not quite as bad but still some leds didn't respond. Once the headlight was dried out it worked fine again. Maybe worth checking Incase it can be easily fixed Good luck either way Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarg Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Like P15ULT said worth a check, A friend of mine had the 4 halos fitted into his bmw lights and during the winter he had problems with condensation and cold air getting in. Some mornings he came into work and it looked like a disco coming down the road because the cold air fcuked them up funny tho! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Funnily enough this Pedro Gois character turned up on my FB newsfeed today. There's a member on here (and on my friend list) who's recently had some work done and is totally singing his praises on the 'Book and put up pics this morning of his work on his award winning zed. I don't know the dude's forum name and feel it's a bit harsh to put his real name on here (especially as I don't know the guy) but can PM details over if you think it would be beneficial to talk with him? Hope you get it sorted! S. Edited August 31, 2016 by Squee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 all im going to say is there are two sides to every story and only one is being shown here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Moral of the story? Don't split your headlights open. Saw people do this on the ST forums. They'd split them open to remove the yellow indicator lenses, and spray the internals black. ..then many would come back back asking why their lights were full of condensation, or their bulbs/led's flickering. Have to wonder if you have a case. The Manufacturer recommends not to open headlights up. Did he have a limited liability clause "I'll open them, but it's on you if it goes Pete Tong."? I tell users this everytime I repair their iphone. Yes I'll open it and attempt a repair, but if i make it worse, that's on you...you happy with that?" Did you know if he's a qualified Nissan technician? No? So you accepted the risk? Case dismissed. maybe Edited September 2, 2016 by Juggalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
