$170 without postage or what importmonster charges you so probably closer to $300+ landed. If someone can find a way of getting them without going through importmonster then you'll get them at a good price.

Will still end up being over $250 by the time you pay for the shipping in japan, japan to here, and then the comms to the agent/s. But dont forget about the bank fees, and conversion fees on top.

They're pretty small in boxes, I'll consider them when some friends return from japan later this year. Thanks for pointing it out guys.

When he's making plans to come back (maybe not for months yet, he's working there with his girlfriend, both know japanese, one working as an translation editor the other in the embassy, so when they come back for a wedding or holiday etc) I might put up a bit of a group buy and cash in on the chance (slash cover costs of him having to give up a suitcase to japanese goods and baggage check-in etc).

I'll make a new thread and see interest when I hear what his plans are. He tends to bring back stuff for friends, last time mostly a bunch of stickers, momo wheel with boss kit etc etc from super auto bacs or whatever its called. Pretty sweet place i hear.. Nothing like it in australia.

Anyone got a link to the lenses in Japan?

I may be able to get a mold made up and start a group buy and a change over service etc.

hey guys, quick update on these items...


first of all the "halo" headlights will not fit up to your OEM headlight bodies, not without a hell of a lot of modification.
furthermore.
supermade ran out of these lenses a few months ago, the factory never produced any more of them

a shop in japan - "BrightX" (google them) brightx had them from the same factory but ran out of stock literally last thursday - at present moment there is no more to be produced.. but who knows what the future may holD!

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, drop Jesse Streeter an email, he can get you most things from Japan for those of you who haven't heard of him.

Here is he's website,
http://www.jessestreeter.com/

Jesse Streeter is an australian drifter who lives in japan. What he is, is similar to any other Yahoo auction broker.

He buys what you want off Yahoo auctions for you, you pay him and he sends it to you.

I have emailed him regarding parts before, he is very legit & informative & you will find a lot of people use his service & highly recommend.

Cheers,
Mike

I may be able to organise just lenses from the eBay style lights. Michael has had great success with his lights being swapped over.

How would be interested in some clear custom lenses as cheap as possible?

They will be the same light covers as Mike used, from eBay lights. I suppose the fitting of them is detailed in his thread. It will be a custom fit job so please be aware that its not a simple remove/refit operation.

Cheers guys.

Just sorting out the lights GB then I'll get onto these and the round 2 lights GB.

I've asked, but I have to explain to the manufacture in detail what I mean by "spare headlight lens" *facepalm*

Hopefully a Skype video + sample of the product and where it is located will help. Their new service clerk is a joke and very slow to get around to answering emails.

Actually, in hindsight, I may hang on to both sets. I'd like Costa to take a mold of the second set so that we can make some more for everyone to enjoy.
