Not everything made in China is junk. It is up to the person/company that is importing these parts to make sure they meet certain quality standards. To often price out ways quality.
We have a few parts made in China but not before exhausting attempts to have them manufactured in the U.S.A we have made it a goal to stock a part made in the U.S. over a imported one. Many times we have rejected the samples they have sent us. Sometimes we have to reject that part 5 or 6 times before they make it the way we want it done.
None of the electrical parts you are talking about here are imported by Show Cars . These are purchased by us from United States vendors. Almost always they were made in America when we started carrying them, then somewhere along the line they outsourced them to China (or Mexico, India, Japan, Germany or ?) They never tell us that they are doing this and certainly do not ask our permission.
If and when we find a part causes more problems than they are worth, we will inform our customer that it is of poor quality or we will drop it. If you see a vendor selling a part and can not find it in our catalog more then likely it is of very poor quality.
In the case of the headlight switch that started this discussion, we have sold 22 in 3 years and if any others were bad, we have never heard about it. But if you get a bad one, you have to send it back to us if you want warranty, that is the only way we get our money back from the vendor. most electrical parts do not come with a warranty and if they do it is up to the vendor / manufacture to make this call to repair or replace.
