Has anyone seen these headlights for sale anywhere else?
Has anyone seen these headlights for sale anywhere else, and with the black housing? I contacted the company selling these and asked why they were charging so much for shipping, and they replied with one of the dumbest replies possible about shipping:
"Sorry mate, we have contract with Australia POST only, the rate is fixed by them.
However, these lights are not compatable with US roads"

The op posted lights with the FL C made for Pre-FL, much different than the lights you posted MJ50. It's actually the first time I've seen these lights, they might look better in black. Good luck with your search.

I think I will just park it for a while and go back to running people off the road in my GT-R... When I get bored I know I can always take my frustration out in Godzilla.

Isn't there someone on this forum with connections at Spyder Lights? I wonder if they are going to make something like those from Ausieland? I know they would sell.

From what I remember, to update to FL you'll need hood, fenders, bumper and of course lights. Oddly, Pre-FL can use FL bumper with minor gaps by the grill and under the headlight. Based on that.......you shouldn't need the fenders if you're converting to FL no?
Also, I wouldn't recommend you get the chrome and try to put them in the oven. As far as aftermarket tech for lights has come, even the new ones use sub-par materials which may or may not melt in the oven (one guess how I know lol). Might I recommend you just use a smoke tint over the headlights? I had it done to my lights recently even though it was against my better judgement but it's significantly reduced the chrome of the OEM headlights without reducing the light output very much.
Toast does make a point, you probably shouldn't use these lights anyways if they were made for the RHD market. You'll lose valuable visibility on the road not to mention possible blind opposing cars.

These are the best looking aftermarket lights I have come across, however think it would only fit the FL model cars. So if you were ever to do the FL I think these would be the best ones to get at the moment. They are not cheap, granted much cheaper then OEM. Not sure if anyone on here has tried them out or how much work would go into actually making them work as far as wiring would go.

Seems to be the same headlights this company is using as well

Just emailed Sonicr to see if they will sell single sets to the USA and asked for a price shipped.

On Alibaba I was quoted $950 shipped for one set. Only way to get the cheaper price shown is if you buy 5 pair at a time. That would require some type of group buy. It still may be possible to negotiate the price some, not sure. I as well would be interested in what kind of price Sonicr quotes. I have a feeling it is going to be high.

Yeah, sorry if I had not made that more clear. I know you had mentioned you were considering doing the facelift. If you did decide to these would easily be the best looking lights at the moment in my opinion. Closest to matching the newer OEM ones. But between these and then doing the facelift would be starting to get pretty expensive for you.

There is probably enough people interested in a group buy for those headlights from Alibaba, myself being one of those people. I've just never done one, and don't really know how to go about doing one.
I've yet to see anyone install and review them on their own either. There was an eBay seller that listed and sold quite a few of them for $1300 a pop, I wonder where all those people went. Someone on some MB forum must have installed them.
