Lightbulb Group Buy TIme! Who wants clear side markers?

Alright guys, the D-Speed clear side markers are arguably the nicest on the market. But with that high quality comes a hefty price tag of $118 plus shipping. Here's a link to the site:

http://www.takakaira.com/asp/templat...KkGhHhceDfbiEd

Club Lexus members who have purchased these side markers have reported nothing but praise. Vegassc400 said that he spent roughly $143 including the shipping. My intent is to gauge the interest we have for the side markers and possibly organize a group buy because I think that we could get that price down. My heart is set on getting these & hopefully I will attempt to contact Taka Kaira in the very near future.

Okay now this part is important, so..... only say that you are interested if you are serious & willing to come through with the money when necessary! (remember Manaray's group buy for the AC kit ) I'll attach a couple pictures courtesy of Vegassc400. You can see from the pictures that these are the real deal, the very best in my opinion. Keep in mind that at this point this is only a suggestion for what we can potentially do, not a promise. If you want to give this a try then speak up! Let's make this happen.

Hey, you cannot start a group buy, only vendors can do group buys.

Thats already a great buy.......... why try to do a group buy when this is already a great price. Many of CL members have paid more then this and you still want more of a discount.

I know you cant start group buys.

Thanks for sharing the info

I have put these on the SC and I can tell you they are of great quality and they fit into the factory opening perfectly. In order to stay legal I put in some amber bulbs which you can pick up at Auto Zone. You can't see the bulbs during the day but at night they reflect a pretty nice amber color. Good luck with these. I thought they were a great buy.

Even if you were a vendor...

3. No "Group Buys" without LS400's approval.
But thanks for the thought, i thought it was a good writeup. pics and all.

ok, then contact taka kaira find out about a mass buy to the us- then give us the "info" that they told you with an email- you would only be giving us information on how to get them for a smaller price and if some one is interested, they could email you for some more info...

They're not priced much over 'cost'...Maybe you'll save on shipping in bulk

I just got my corners last month and they didn't come with bulbs. When did this start?

i just recently got rid of mine for custom made lenses(led fitted). my suggestion to everyone interested in this product-is to use low voltage wedge bulbs or even better yet,solder an led in place of the bulb. i used piaa superwhites for my clear bumper lenses(to match my hid's) and the heat from those wedge bulbs melted and discolored the inside of the lens on one side.there is a piece of plastic that covers the bulb,but that broke away due to the heat from the bulb and eventually led to discoloration..
