APC Nailed for Lights

[rbattelle]

There is no shortage of people (around here anyway) who seem to worship this company APC (American Products Corporation). I say this because they seem to plaster their stickers all over their cars and windshields. Personally, I've always thought of their products as "cute" with little or no practical functionality.



I happened to see a set of taillights from them that I actually like, then came across this on a search.

It's from 2003, but I hadn't heard about it until just now.

I wonder if the one's they make now comply with the regs.

I have "snooped" some of their products, looking for LED tail lights with the factory look for my '03. I would not buy their junk!! The name "American Products Company" is decieving. All their junk I saw was cheap chinese made garbage! Glad they had to pay!!!

I wouldn't bet on it David.

Did they say their products met specs and that is why they had to pay since it was a lie?

Orrrr did someone make them pay for no reason?
