I mean, nothing new really, If you buy 10 from china you have to test 10 then if any have issues you have to send back. If you sell them to people and they have issues you'll have to help them return etc. Also shipping of 10 boxes of that size will be another beast, they may not even deliver to an address, maybe only to a port where you'll have to deal with customs and freight forwarding.(1000$)

maybe they can send each set to the adress of each person from the group buy. Maybe they wil ask for shipping cost for each package. I ordered once taillights and shipping was 50 euro.

My dealer has adamantly refused to turn mine off citing safety issues and wouldn't even let me sign a waiver. I have the stock 2010 HID lights with a CANBUS error free LED in the Hi's now which is far better than the ugly stock halogen bulb.

I had Vipmotoz for a season but even that, to have the swoosh on it would need to be in parking/city lights mode on the stalk and the Hi beam would be on at 30%. Looked kinda meh.

Well we should find out soon about all these questions. Waiting for an actual user review. Will post one as well once I get and install them.
If you're in tha East YaY then pm me. My dealer took my DRL's off, I told him "DO IT NOW" ! Naw I'm playin, but he hooked me up. Plus this dealer takes care of me with the recalls and gives a loaner for 24hrs. Whooop. I'm San Jo bro.
I'm also checking out newer headlight assemblies, I just may get the used 2013's if this is a flop.

You can also buy an ODBIIIES connector thing and do it yourself for $20.

The output looks pretty even ... though to be sure, I would like a more detailed night shot.

Folks,

Reminder that group buys must be arranged via a Club Lexus supporting vendor only. Either get one one lined up to support the GB or have the selling vendor sign up please (couple of posts pruned).

Absolutely Ok to talk about the product, how it works and observations, etc. but let’s keep group buy discussion out of this thread please. Want to keep this informational thread open!

Corners? Think it's all LED color based.
