This is great news, especially considering I am just finding out about them! oh wait... this is horrible news, these look AWESOME!

edit: Hey if anyone knows where in japan to get these headlights for CHEAP, maybe I could have my friend go grab them... possible group buy anyone?

umm... brightx and finalkonnexxion sell these lenses for what would approx equate to 275USD...


they come out of the same factory! the PART isn't discontinued, supermade have probably just stopped ordering them!

There is no way you got authentic Supermade lens for that price. $320 shipped sounds more realistic.

blobs - i'm australian, so i can't answer your Q about the US carriers...

they are not distributors... just brands... they just sell stuff!!!

and - it'd be easier to buy direct from the shop online than to get your friend in japan to run around trying to source them...


...if you REALLY feel spicy then try www.importmonster.com.au see if they'll send the parts to the USA...
they can most definately organise something for you

someone on nengun selling them for 189$ usd BEFORE shipping... so maybe 230 isnt that unreasonable. sort of gamble buying from some japanese dude... but I guess its worth it!, these are the bright-x ones by the wayz

bright-x had been selling them for as low as ~$130 for the past 6 months before they recently raised their prices back to >$200 recently so $230 isn't unbelievable.

yeah I NEED a set... or I'm going to have to buy at least one new headlight and for that money I could have BOTH crystal clear

Someone find a way to get these to the states and make a group buy already!

...serious?


you can't google brightx yourselves?

=/


http://www.brightx.jp/p02.html

there!

and why do you need to wait for a group buy? just buy them yourself n be done with it

...i personally just suggest bite the bullet n get two new headlights... it'll look so much better!
