I think I may have very well been the last person to get a set of lights out of Scott and maybe I was the straw that broke the camels back. I was doing the core exchange method with Scott so he would mod a set and I'd send him mine in return. I've kept quiet mostly on this as he seemed to be willing to work with me and eventually I got a decent set of lights but I'm wondering now if others went through the same thing I did and eventually Scott got in over his head.
Scott sent me two pairs of unacceptable lights, one set that looked like someone had driven behind a truck on a gravel road and then sand blasted them for good measure and the second set came with broken and melted tabs with poorly installed halos.
At any rate I had him take both sets back for obvious reasons and ended up having him order a brand new set direct from Subaru because mine were only weeks old on a new 2012 Legacy. I ended up finally getting them although he didn't plug the holes in them so they got filled with packing dust and there were also fingerprints one the projector lens and on the inside of the housing lens. I was done with waiting and going back and forth so I just took them as is. Scott ate the cost on two unusable sets and partial cost on a new set as he partially reimbursed me for the hassle and also for shipping costs.
A few months after having them installed they developed a almost soapy looking condensation across both housing lenses that never evaporated and eventually had to be reopened, cleaned, polished and resealed by a local friend and modder. I've since sold the car and the lights were actually a selling point for the dealership so it worked out in the end and after they were repaired they looked pretty damn good.
I'm not sure what to make of the situation thats happening with you guys now especially if he's still bouncing checks but working for Mercedes? At least I think that's where he's at if I remember from reading through this thread. I'm not sure where all his money has gone, why even bother writing the checks? Doesn't look like he's even bothered logging in since November, is everyone too far away for a face to face? I honestly don't think you guys are gonna get any sort of straight answer without that.
Really hope you guys get some sort of resolution out of this. I can't help but feel like I was a contributing factor to it by basically costing him three sets of lights but I'm sure you guys would have responded the same way with the shape of the lights that I've attached pics for.
