Has anybody got these on their Lude? Quite a few kits about on Ebay but dont want to get them if they are a bit duff. Ive found a set that works out to be around £70 from the states.

I dont think anyone on here has the replicas. For £70 + shipping + import tax + £13 Parcel Force handling charge, I dont think you can go far wrong. TBH the wiring alone for that price would be good Cool.

If you want to find out what there like I suggest going on some of the US forums like PreludePower fro reviews.

Nitin should buy a kit like this, keep the wiring and sell the fog lights on Wink

You will pay 15-17% of the items cost (not including shipping) as VAT/import tax, and most probally a £13 Parcel Force handling charge.

Parcel Force really bend you over hate-ass.

The £70 is including the delivery charge! It works out to be around £40 for the fogs and £30 for shipping. So with all the other costs on top that should be about £90 delivered to my door. There is a more expensive kit ive seen and they seem to get sold quite quickly, they work out to be £108 delivered.

I had a look on preludepower but couldnt see any reviews for fog lights Crying or Very sad

You can buy them for as little as $51 (£31.60)

Unit price - £32
Shipping - ?
Import tax - £5.50 ish
Parcel force - £13

So £50~ plus shipping? Shipping shouldnt be too bad on these IMO, email a seller and ask for a shipping quote.

On the more expensive lot, shipping is $95, on my watched list and comes up as £57.96.

Might have to get them on pay day (next Monday Smile ) Will let you know if they are any good.

I have the 'REAL' JDM Honda Access foglights in my BB6. And I love them.

The replicas are decent, but the housings will melt if you use 55watt bulbs or higher. They come with 35watt bulbs because of this.

I will be in the UK from Dec 23rd to Jan 3rd. So if anyone wants any parts that will fit in my luggage, and can meet me at Heathrow Airport the evening of Dec 23rd around midnight until 9am the 24th, or the morning of Jan 3rd before my flight leaves or Chicago, IL USA. You can get the parts without having to pay VAT, or shipping costs. I can also post them to you once I have arrived in the UK, if you cannot meet me at the airport.

I have a layover at Heathrow for approximately 12 hrs before flying Air Lingus to Ireland (the evening of Dec 23rd).

So if anyone in Ireland wants parts, I will be in Dublin, Belfast, Derry, Carndonnagh Inishowen MalinHead areas.

I will be in Edenburgh Scotland for New Years Eve too.

fzr & Gat can vouch for me because I have got them parts before.

So if you want
real JDM foglights
replica foglights
brake parts
Chassis parts (ball joints, tierods, etc.)
engine parts (pistons, rods, cams, cam belt, etc) no blocks, heads or cranks though
wheel bearings
wire harnesses
Type S strut bar or the top hats, etc.


PM me

sorry no body panels or other 'large' parts that will not fit in my luggage or are excessively heavy (unless you want to pay the extra airline fees)
