On Silver using Lexus_gs3's car. Not sure if it's from stretching of the lights, but the amber part looks taller

I have it on very good authority that Steve Ganz is setting up a GB on these very shortly .

No I don't know the price yet.

but even with customs fee, taxes, air shipping and what not... It shouldnt be over $600 or barely breaking $600 (if buying directly from japan at the msrp)

not if you air ship, which is what johnny used (and what i would used). i would rather pay 100 more to get it in a week than waiting for at least a month on a boat

Yes this is correct. Steve informed me that he ordered two different sets of lights from two different sources. We want to check them, try them out, see them on the a car, and then show everyone here what we find. Then depending on the interest we will definitely do a GB for you guys. The lights should actually be here in a few days, our container is finally at port now and just waiting to clear customs. As soon as I find out the brand names I will post up again. As far as price goes, that is definitely going to depend on you guys. Most of these companies dont even start discounts until you get into the 20 sets and up orders. So if ten peple order price will be X amount, if 20 people order price will be lower and so on. So again that will depend on what you guys think of the lights we post up.

It's just another option for people who dont want to spend 1350 for the JP's.

It's also opening up the Lexus GS tail light market. Competition = lower prices for consumers.

Have you physically checked out the Wise tail lights? Maybe you should hold your thoughts till you physically compare them or when more people give their reviews in the future. Carson Toyota is getting two different sets in..maybe the other one is far more superior. Cant tell till the product arrives
