Default BrightX27 clear headlight covers

Has anyone seen these?

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/bright-x-27/h-06002/

Might be a nice cheaper alternative to Super Made / Final Konnexion if you have some friends in Japan that can pick up a set for you. They're currently on sale for 13,125 yen from their regular price of 18,900 yen which is almost half the price of the Super Made and Final Konnexion versions. I'm not sure how good they are quality-wise though... anyone heard of BrightX27 before? I'm thinking of just going ahead and being the guinea pig getting a pair... having lived in Japan for a while before, seems like most of the products there are at least decent in terms of quality so I figure they can't be that bad, but damn, the exchange rate is so bad right now.

Ok, so that works out to just under 145 bucks yeah? plus or minus the inflation that happens between now and when you buy em. I say go guinea pig go because even if you get them and they aren't THAT great, you will still have something new and straight up JDM, say word, do work.

...oh yeah...and post up pics so us other guinea pigs can join in.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone coming from Japan until probably May so if I wanted these right now, I'd prob end up paying another $40 or so to ship them over making them around $185. Still on the fence with these... might wait to see what happens with the ones from Top Hat, but they look like they're having a lot of difficulties.

The images of the SC/Soarer on that BrightX website are of SuperMade's personal DEMO car... Why would they do that exactly...
