They tell you, you cannot return stuff when you clearly can. Wanted white led headlight and i got yellow. Literally put them in their parking lot came back in the store 5 mins later and was told we can’t return open headlights. Came straight to another advance and they helped with no issues.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
