Just had a ping back a min ago and the price is for the MKI of the headlights. Asked what's the difference and he mentioned plexi lens and fitment. Do you really care at this point?

mkII are not avail in the black trim. Well this guys doesn't have them anyway, but sure we have them at the car mall (I see them everywhere). MKII retail, ready for it? $500 :/

What is so different about them I don't know, not familiar with the kit, in fact I've never owned, fitted or had to work on them myself.

Thinking about getting you these hallo here at $180 and installing some decent clear glass bi-xenon in them. Mind the eggs? are you in a desperate rush? (no clears to be found atm here, just checked)

I'm trying to follow you BUT I don't think that I know what MKII means???? lol
Not sure that it matters as I'm just looking for a feasible solution. When I had them installed there didn't appear to be any challenges to get them to fit (of course that's outside of the damn thing just falling out during hard breaking, lol)...

Regarding Halogens, I still have my originals here so I'm not sure about investing in bi-xenon or litronics, etc...worse case scenario I just put the original Hallos back in and wait. I'm not in an incredible rush, if it saves me money I can be patient for another set of LED w/ black trim.

Here are my originals:





Here is where I want to get back to:

Fred

Curious about the car mall you mention in Shanghai. Where is it? I will be in Shanghai in early March and would love to peruse a parts mall rather than the fakes market?

Thanks
