^ thanks!

i've never had anything big ship'd from the states but my understanding (flaky at best) is that customs depends on where the product is made and US made products tend to be lower on the customs scale?? someone confirm this?

heres a carson-tuned one

looks good
but again shipping from states...

even if these are modded in the states, the housing will still prob have Japan embossing on them so customs will try to ding u nevertheless

i think the red housing resembles that of 2GS more

since ull be having the car in the shop to get the lights done
might as well get both front and rear painted black for the housing

i think the carson-tuned is also smoked so depends on the law here in BC...

heres my PS of "tinted" housing

so its like a thin layer of spray paint on the housing or a layer of tint film on the housing itself (not lens)
