I just dont get why so many a complaining about the price. You can buy wing and wheels for ten thousands of dollars but not these lights that makes the car look more modern and alot better? just my 2cent
I'm more annoyed that a local US distributor would jack the price up that much with us knowing that the lights only cost 377,00 euros(that price is -vat)... Current conversion to US dollar is $542.00. I would have gladly paid $650 or even $750 for them like the group buy if I liked that design that rottec had.

Sure the US Dectane distributor can get them to me quicker if they have them instock but $400+ for the SAME product?

Hey guys,

Here is a German distributor that will send these to US. We do not pay Tax.
http://www.orange-tuning.de/shop/type-lighting-c-31_141_895.html
(You may need to click on the British flag for English)

You may email them at:
info@orange-tuning.de

I have ordered my set and it came out to just under $600 including delivery. The order was shipped. Not sure how long it will take to get here with DHL. I will post pics once it arrives.

Damned. If they ship to you, I'll be pissed. I had to have my cousin in the UK get them from Dectane and send them to me. Cost me over $850 when all was said and done.

They have and I have the tracking number.

I wouldn't stress about it that much. I'm sure you will love the lights either way.

I tried placing an order, however USA was not an option for shipping country. How did you end getting the order through?
