Hit and Run-Ouch. Update after 8 weeks and $10K damage repair

[Bobby Chapman]

Got truck back, 8 weeks, $10,000.00 damage cost, looks get,( thank you Maitland Collision Center in Winter Park Fla.). We ordered Cooldna headlights from Amazon for $599.00 .

Love the projection lights and Sequential Turn signals. When just the parking lights on the turn signals are white, nice too

Nice.
I like the headlights. I don't know if I'm going to buy a pair, but they're in my Amazon cart.

Queue the DOT fear-mongering. sky will fall narratives.

They are really nice ,but to just replace them without needing to ,I would not, but since truck was in for repairs, was a great time for the upgrade.

I have used Maitland Collision Center in Winter Park Florida for over 20 years and they do a stand-up job and they blend in perfectly they do a great job.

They also repainted my 2000 Hyundai and it's beautiful

Love the color, and the headlights are tits! Looks like everything is lined up as good as it can be. Nice

Looks great and those headlights are awesome! So I'm curious, did the whole process take eight weeks? I ask because I got involved in my first accident a week and a half ago and probably have around the same repair estimate. I'm still waiting on my police report and getting the other party's insurance to admit fault for it. Do I expect to have a similar waiting period? I know there's no definite answer since it all depends on the extent of the damage and parts availability. I just hate having this drag out longer than it needs to. This is mine which isn't nearly as extensive as yours was...

They ordered lights from amazon for you instead of the $1000 lights. I wasn't aware an owner how the power to make decisions of what lights or parts to install when a car was insured. Did you not have insurance?

I see the DOT and SAE marking, but does anyone here think "COOLDNA" is actual DOT legal?

• The DOT mark on the housing means the manufacturer claims the design meets FMVSS-108 standards and has placed the marking accordingly — not that the DOT independently tested or approved that specific unit.
• Without a recognized compliance listing or documented FMVSS-108 test report, there’s no publicly verifiable certification you can cross-check in NHTSA databases.

I think mine took 8 weeks because of certain parts lead times and 3 holidays in a row

Again ,I have worked with them for 20 years. They like me too. And I only needed drivers side, so I thought they could order the new pair for cheaper, and they did.

Any pics of the projectors at night and on a wall or something to see the patterns ?
Otherwise they look crazy and the shop did a great job.

I see now I really need to get around to installing my dashcam!

I looked on Amazon and it says only for trucks with LED DRLs, but then it says they are for XL and XLTs. Can't be both. Is it just a typo? I notice in one of the description pictures they refer to them as tail lights too, so maybe a translation issue.....?
