Default Looking to purchase those JDM led foglights

Is there anyone beside this ebay guy who sell them: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2007-2008-200...30437d&vxp=mtr

Is there anyone on the forum who bought from him before ?

Thanks for the help

Are you kidding me...2900.00 for fogs?

I will stick to my 30.00 HID's and pocket the 2870.00!!! Better yet, that would go straight to my daughters college fund!!!

Seen them on Yahoo auctions Japan from time to time for around us$ 1,700-$2000 brand new. There's used sets also sometimes. So either need a connection to get it or have to sign up with one of those proxy service companies to handle and ship to you. Of course there's a fee structure- seen one about 5- 8%.

OK, maybe if you live IN a cloud and these fogs lit your way every day, maybe, just maybe there is a payoff.

NOPE, I still can't see any payoff.

I would start searching the threads on hidplanet.com and build a set myself or have a custom set built before paying that much.

I used a guy in Japan who sources for people. He uses Yahoo Japan, so it is something you could do yourself. He sends you pictures and bids for you. They are shipped to his shop first so he inspects them. Charges a percentage of sale. Let me know if interested and I can get you his info.

Here are mine

retrofit them bad boys. You can get a used set of fogs on ebay cheap for our cars US version, and then mess around with those so you don't damage your existing set. Throw in a small projector and an LED array and boom.
