I've used Rock Auto & Ebay D2 coil packs vs the OEM bosch coils & I've never had any issues. Removing the intake manifold isn't bad at all unless you have SAI which does make it a little more time consuming.
I've done it at least 6-10 times now and it's faster vs denting your HVAC lines & tearing your hands all to pieces!
I agree in the other thread I saw Lucky8 try to consult you on a refund stating to return the coils for a refund...
I know a lot of folks that "lie" and say a part is defective and request a new replacement without sending the old one back. 60% of the time the customer is actually scamming a company for another part for free... Not saying your doing that, but I agree with Lucky8's policy 100%! Return your defective coil pack for a refund or no return no refund!

Given how much I've thrown at this so far in terms of my time, the $50, or worse, replacements is meaningless: while the $50 would be a small moral victory ($40 after shipping), I would never go with anything other than Slovenian-made Bosch coils. It is just not worth it.

Unfortunately no it never works out that well, let's be honest he is ignoring everyone that doesn't match his picture.
I'm torn though between ordering a set of the coils or a snorkel for the p38 from the guys at Lucky8.
You do realize that Lucky8 doesn't make the coils right? You most likely bought Britpart coils that everyone sells?

No identification on the coils at so no idea who might have made them.
Of course I know they don't make the coils, only distribute them: as far as I can tell, they don't have the analog design skills (PWM is not considered digital as far as I know) nor likely the relationships with the contract manufacturers in Shenzhen, Hangzhou or elsewhere nor the minimum volumes they would need to commit to, etc.
Choice is Bosch or roulette: when my 13 year-old coils finally give up (now that they're out of the oven behind the manifold, hopefully that'll be a while), it'll be Bosch again. Not worth saving $15-20 a coil.
Wish I hadn't been penny-wise, pound-foolish on these parts. Then this could have been someone else's crusade, not mine.

Point taken -- partly.
Technically, eBay manages/brokers auctions/transactions and hosts stores (and arbitrates the resolution of disputes, which Lucky8 dba LRPARTS has thus far refused to engage in).
LRPARTS actually operates the store and is the liable party, not eBay (that's the beauty of the eBay business model: zero liability), making LRPARTS the third party referred to in the email from Lucky8.
An ****, splitting hairs answer for sure, but one that I nonetheless believe is correct.

"If" I had called you out as a lying thief you'd have known it Bill........
Also that's complete BS that only Bosch coil packs are worth a crap.... You're gonna judge that over one set of defective coils???? I have been around LR's since 1990 & back when the D2/P38 first came out with the Bosch configuration there was a heck of a lot of Bosch coil packs replaced under warranty! Were they all bad? Probably not, but LR said to replace wires, plugs, and coil packs on 99-02 D2/P38's with multiple misfire faults.
I've used plenty of aftermarket parts on LR's over the years. I have not had one set of generic coil packs (aka non Bosch) act up or fail on all the D2's I've worked on & repaired.
If 50.00 isn't anything to you then STOP complaining.... Like everyone has mentioned Lucky8 didn't make them.... You have the Ebay order confirmations, which should clearly list the return policy. Return the dead coil packs to Lucky8/LR-Parts (Ebay) and they'll refund you the 50.00 that means nothing to you.
