I needed to replace a daytime running lamp on my newly purchased 2014 500s. Went to large car parts store and purchased a new lamp bulb yesterday. Went to replace lamp bulb today and found it easier to remove the lamp assembly to gain access (not as agile as I once was). I removed the old lamp bulb and then opened the box to get the new one out. Found the one in the box was old and blown, looks like someone swapped their blown bulb for the new one in the box to save buying one. I have ordered a new one online so that I do not have to put car back together again just to drive to store. I should have checked inside the box before I bought it. It is the second time I have been caught like this recently as the hay fever spray I bought last month was an empty box. I suppose it is buyer beware or I am just too trusting.

It does happen when things are returned they are not always checked.
I worked for a large supermarket part time on the customer service desk, a customer returned a faulty dvd player later when we checked the box was full of newspaper!
Then you had people saying the wine was corked, but it had a plastic cork?
