I've been looking for East Bears for a long time but they have discontinued them, good luck finding them. If you do PM me and I'll get a set, too.

You cant go wrong with the Pop-Ups. Many of the built in kits i've seen look like crap.

No, they are two different things. Although exactly what is meant by "city lights" escapes me at the moment.

i think they are located in the same spot..... i think the j-spec "ftp's" are city lights due to them having lights built in...and domestic ftps have clear plastic for flashing the high beams

All the city lights I've seen are little blue LEDs.

For the FC, only pop-ups look right. They match the styling of the body. The non-popups are too square looking for the body . Looks like two holes in the car.
This is all IMHO of course

I really like the look of a FC2k front, with either the exterior piece of the pop ups in place, or the hood brought down flush to it's center (or close) covering all but the lowest/frontmost part of the FC2k lights. I've seen it somewhere and it's so hot, but I can't find a pic right now.
