Many sellers of LED diodes received the above email notice today that from December 31, 2023, Amazon will restrict the sale of these products in the store. Because the LED headlight conversion kit does not comply with the federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS number 108. Amazon's policies prohibit the listing or sale of products that do not comply with all applicable laws.
If the seller still has inventory, a removal order must be created to return or dispose of the remaining inventory. Amazon will only reimburse the cost of the inventory affected by the removal, and will not subsidize the wear and tear of the related products!
