I found this but I am not shure that those are the coupe ones.I talked to them and the guy did not know that the sedan and coupe head lights were diffrent. He sais that what he is showen on the computer are the ones for coupe but over here they have the ones for sedan and they have the same part no.:

I will be getting the 2005 front grille from Steve tho.
Good choice on the grille. I like the '05 grille for the coupe much better than the earlier models. Good luck on finding the lights!

I got mine off ebay.de as well...
I actually payed a total of about 500 USD (incl. shipping) for both, but I got them in separate auctions and they are used.
It is a risk getting used, but for me, both work well and there are no scratches...

Check this current auction - 180039837091 on ebay.de
You may not speak German but you can contact the seller and find out about condition, shipping and payment

Well... It was a month long process of bothering both sellers, but I had no problems...
The usual problem (if you get a legit seller on ebay - they are becoming rare now) is the packaging on such fragile items... I was lucky that both sellers were ok on that aspect...

Question Import duty and taxes on Bi-xenon?

Hi guyz - I'm thinking about buying some Bix and clear fogs from Steve, but wanted to know what the import duty and taxes are before taking the plunge for $1400.00...

Anyone know approximately how much this is?

Thanks!

If i sell or give anything to go to canada, I usually enclose a Happy Birthday card which means it's a gift. You can't charge duty on a birthday present....

@moosejaw,

are you serious? that works?

@RonKMiller,

im not sure where you are from but my bix from steve when i got it from him cost me $200+ in customs. best thing to do is under value the item to something you are comfortable with. but also keep in mind that damages go against what value you state (duh). i had a lot of problems with my bix (no ones fault).

good luck!

In my attempts yes. I would always send stuff up to my mom in BC eh? and one time customs made her pay duty on her xmas present and she was pissed. So i started sending xmas and birthday cards and labelling the item as a gift. I don't think canada customs would be such a grinch to start appkying duty to them and if they did, well that would be just another reason i'm glad i came to the states

One time I sold my command on ebay and it went to Victoria duty free, all i put was a bday card

Don't forget that RonKMiller is also mentioning the clear foglights he is considering... our W203 bix are still being offered for USD 1250 shipped.

You should, I ordered from Steve and it took less than nine days from the day I sent the bank wire to the day I actually received thems. Awesome service and the products were safely packaged in. As far as the duty taxes I am not aware of any but maybe some other members can chime in about that.

Boy howdy, I know ALL about Canadian customs. I got whacked one time for import fees on two aircraft that were going to be in the country for only 3 months - a $4,000.00 "surprise" that I had NO choice but to pay - in cold hard AMERICAN cash!

Canadian customs are the worst. I used to ship out 2,000 packages a week back when I used to work shipping/receiving. The only international shipping issues I ever had to deal with was (you guessed it) Canadian customs!

oh absolutely Canada Customs are not looking for criminals , they are to busy trying to hose down their own people for duty and tax surcharges. They 've got nothing better to do.
