take into consideration its coming from japan so its not that terribly high but im in agreeance with you,overall the prices even from that other vendor are pretty high. this is one of those times were you can use the phrase, "it is what it is"

yes its expensive and some people wont pay this price.....some people will. thats all i really meant.

i STILL cant get back in touch with the website where i found them so i will finally post it, if you can get a return email from them and find out the shipping cost these might be worthwhile (although u will have to set up a account with that company) but i have tried, a member on here who speaks japanese tried, and another friend of mine tried and so far noone has a return email yet

ALSO the guy from vipstyles flipped on me and now sells he wont sell me a pair.....dude was a joke. tried to PM him to get his paypal and couldnt get him to respond over and over finally he decided )after i post in the thread) he wont sell me a set now

As everyone has already said perfect for a retro fit

Something like that why couldn't you take a piece of acrylic glass cut out to the shape of the lens and heated to wrapped onto the housing. Only issue I would think would be distorting the lens with the heat.

Brian, I also never got any replies back other than an auto response from the seller on Rakuten either.

And the ebay price has went up. For a couple weeks I saw jzs had them for $258 +$59ship, now they are $298 +$63ship.. Should have just picked up a set then...

There's a old huge thread about doing just that. But good luck as it isn't just 'that easy' (for it to look and fit like factory anyway)..

JZS International is a good dude to buy from, you can trust him.

Just an FYI though even though you said you not gonna buy them for that price.

JZS is fine, I've bought from them with no issue, as long as you realize they don't actually have most of the stuff they sell, they order it for you and ship it so it may be a few weeks. They just jacked up the price on the fogs even more than it was previously.

Brian was refering to the seller on Rakuten that doesn't respond not JZS.

Knocking off some dust because I like the look of these.

Stinks that the price for these is so high even though other manufacturers are able to make very similar fog lights at a quarter of the cost. $400 out the door is probably why they dont sell more. Funny that they went up according to 99 GS3 in #41 they used to be $317 out the door. Then the cost AND the shipping went up.
