Blew up the headlights and loom on brand new ute
Bought and booked in two bullbars from Iron Man Rocklea to be fitted.
They fitted these by chopping into the looms.
They blew the loom (fused and shorted out the pins) blew the left headlight on one of the Cannons plus the fuse box.
Then their manager blamed me for the damage when we found it. We have pictures of the damaged headlight connector pins and scorching they caused.
Westpoint service after doing a full inspection made the following statement on diagnosing the cars lighting system.
"As per my previous email, you have requested Westpoint Autos to rectify your issue with bull bar wiring, head lamp replacement and harness that may have been damaged by fitting the bull bar. After replacing the head lamp and the wiring harness the issue of head lamp not working is rectified. The reason these components were required to be replaced, we believe is due to the wiring for the head lamp being done incorrectly. This tampered with the wiring harness which caused the left head lamp and loom to have shorted.
Its cost us $5,500 to have it fixed plus $900 to have the checks done to determine the extend of the damage. Brand new work vehicle off the road for weeks (10) to be exact due the fact they chopped into the loom instead of having a connector to connect their lights to the harness like others do.
Avoid this particular shop at all costs.
When they stuff it up they will blame you.
Also never fit bull bars to cars with LED headlights If they will cut into into the looms as apparently lots of car manufacturers have had issues with fitting services blowing things up splicing into looms.
