Black LED Headlights

I am looking to buy some Black LED headlights. I was wondering where you guys bought them from? The only black ones I have been able to find are $1,995. A little pricey, I heard that people got them not too long ago for $1,500 or less so I wanted to know where you got it from. Thanks in advance

It's my understanding that they were a limited run and have gone the way of the dinosaur
They had issues with leaks and cheap LEDs that burnt out or didn't work at all.

Seriously...keep the litronics. They don't look cheap and tacky like these do.
If you want an updated look, consider this mod...Black HIDs. Looks very nice and more OEM.

Aftert talking to one of the suppliers/vendors, there are improvements currently being made to the design and the revamped version should be available soon. I've heard as soon as mid-April.

I hope so, as I plan to purchase a pair of black ones as well.

Hey Yellow986S!!!!

I see that you are looking at these and I was too until now.
Anyway the guy that I was in contact with (xtrememotorcars) that had them on ebay for $1,995.00 said to me that he expects them in soon. He said they should have had them in already but they keep getting pushed back. He mentioned to me that if you put the listing on your watch list, you'll know when they go on sale once the price lowers to $995. He puts the price so high to discourage people from ordering until he has them in stock. If you try to order it now with the $1,995 price he will refund your money. He told me to check every other day until he gets them in. Hope this helps.

John
