Alright time for a month late Update.
Things got worse. They didn't just cut up only the harness (which I got extra spares for) like they told me..... No because one bulb socket doesn't have two connections the put in a new socket..... and how did they do that? Find some splice in ones that fit the housings which you can literally find on eBay? Try and build their own sockets to fit?
NO JUST FUCKING MELT SOME RANDOM NOT FITTING SOCKET TOGETHER WITH THE HOUSING AND THEN COVER IT IN BLACK SILICONE SO YOU ONLY SEE IT WHEN YOU TRY TO GET THE HARNESS OUT TO SEND BACK THE LEDS FOR A REFUND AND REDO THE HARNESS:
Great.... Tail lights are trash now because it destroys the seal when trying to get THE RIGHT SOCKET in..... the ONE thing I don't do myself....
I could see from the outside they used a different socket but thought the silicone was just to hold it in place, NOT THAT IT WAS MELTED TOGETHER.
Which annoys me most because the production date on them fit the car and I specifically told them I want everything to be reverseable and if they had told me WHEN I ASKED THEM we'll modify the housing aswell not just the harness I would have bought a spare of those aswell.... Can't even do what they're telling me.....
Now after weeks of arguing back and forth with them they agreed to refund me and pay for new ones AFTER I sent them mine back.... Found a NOS set on eBay US for around 130€s with new harnesses, just not in the original box anymore (bought in bulk from a dealership). My guy that forwards me everything out of the US confirmed they were brand new. So I'm just waiting for those now until I send the others back.
But OF COURSE CUSTOMS HERE who already delayed the whole box arriving BY A WEEK now wants me to wait for a letter AND THEN pick it up in person because of some bullshit again....
I can deal with alot of bullshit but waiting for things just always drives me crazy, because I can just do nothing about it.
And Postal Services just don't give a fuck because they know you rely on them..... which is another thing that drives me crazy - relying on unreliable people.....
In the mean time I figured out and bought pigtails, terminals, switchback amber and red LEDs, a blinker splitter, amber bulbs, red LEDs, a sequential module and basically almost everything to make this whole thing myself in a plug and play completly reverseable solution. Only thing I'll need to do is run switched power front the front to the back. So I'll have to see if there's like a switched fuse location that would for example be used for the convertible stuff (which mine isn't) or something else I don't have which I can just repin/reuse for my wiring.
Front Turn Signal Housings will need to be switched for clear ones because my parking lights can't be amber. Ordered those in the begining of the month aswell and guess what.... they were out of stock. So I got a tracking number two weeks later when they supposedly had stock again which hasn't updated since..... great.... have I mentioned already that I hate waiting?
Got 3156 amber bulbs which I'll bend the pins to the correct contact (if I have to) for the turn signals and will just tell inspection the corner lights are the parking lights. Easy way out.
90% of everything has just been a waiting game and it'll continue.... I wonder if I get the car on the road by the end of august..... probably not but we'll see.....
