Say no more, every single thing I’ve ever bought from them was damaged beyond use. I vowed never to use them after the fourth time in a row, different items.ekjdm14 wrote: 07 Mar 2018, 22:46 Ahh, our old friends ECP yet again... Certainly not saying that your bulbs will be fake, but it wouldn't be the first time that mob have stocked fake parts (I presume inadvertently, but personally I'd put nothing past those jokers).
Bent a thingy in C5 X7 headlamp.

Our former friend and forum member, citronut (otherwise known as Malcolm, may he rest in peace) used to call ECP "Euro Crap Parts". He had good reason to do this.

Re: Bent a thingy in C5 X7 headlamp.
There are plenty of good things about ECP - just best to avoid the cheap generic Chinese parts (as with any motor factors) and shop around to get what matters to you most at the time (price or part quality). I buy a mix of stuff from ECP and GSF, dependant on just those things (which one has the quality part for the lowest price at the time)

At least they gave me a replacement pair of bulbs cheerfully enough (so now I have three for the price of two).
