Giving this company time to mail me the replacement - before posting the end of story.
For now:

Rode the Kymco
July 12th....before morning ride. Found this.

Screw posts broken, both sides. (probably fell to this position at some point on my ride home, July 10th)

Emailed letter and photos to the company on the 12th. They acknowledged receipt of my email.
Spoke with rep. on the 16th.
They acknowledged a fault in this light bar, asked for purchase info from Revzilla, and said they would send me another light bar.
I emailed photo of the Revzilla transaction from Feb 2019.
No, the scooter has not fallen, nor has light bar been struck. No damage to it other than the 2 broken screw posts. Road vibes apparently popped it off.
I did notice that the lens cover has no water seal on it. I will fix that on the new bar!
Seller in Canada said that they have seen one screw post break, but never both of them.
I figure the dangling broken R post - with road vibes - then broke the L post on my ride home. Bar is under the top case, and not really visible when backing the scooter into the garage.
I am NOT looking forward to the re-installation. (remove top case and rack and pull tail light assembly again - with electrical splicing)
I'll post further when things are settled with this $135 light bar.

hope this ends well! ...and $135, that's an expensive light bar! Is it a brake light / flashing brake light / turn signal thing? Do you have any pics of it lit up?

A few dozen pics of the bar in my photos in "Eye Candy..." heading.

I do not waste money on extra junk---so do not have these/this problem.

8" Admore Light Bar failed after 6 months.
Hot glued - and/or zip ties have been working....

Replaced under warranty....arrived today.

Now all I have to do is:
Remove the bar holder,
Remove the top case,
Remove the rack,
Remove the passenger grab rail
Remove the tail light assembly
Re-wire with purchased connectors, and Reverse the 5 steps.
A job for next winter, with a cup of coffee.
OR, fashion a nice water-proof connector to the existing wires.
2 emails started the process- but real results came with 2 phone calls.
I explained what happened, they asked for purchase proof (Revzilla) and sent out the new part - no issues.
Will water seal the new one.

Glad you got there in the end with it. I haven't got one at the moment, but did a lot of miles in my early 20s on a Sukida 125 that had a huge amount of LEDs strapped on. I commuted on that through all weathers and just felt happier with it lit up like Christmas!
I've been trying to find a picture, but it looks like it was too long ago now.
