They're expensive...........
Only place I've seen them is from a Texas supplier ((I forget their name) dot com) who has them advertised for $179 a pair, plus tax (if in Tx) plus shipping. But, they are kinda cool, different lense face, and allow for light show tricks you can't do otherwise.
I just got a pair last week, but would consider passing them on for a fair donation north of $100 AND a good set (clear not messed up and mounting studs intact) of regular flash to pass lenses.
PM me if interested.

The J-spec FTP has a small light bulb mounted in them, kinda like a driving light. They are NOT bright enough to see with when driving at night. From what I've read, the city streets in Japan are well lit, so the driver is expected to turn their headlights off and use these instead so they don't blind oncoming drivers. I bought a set from RX7.com because my lenses were all fogged up and chipped. I wired them into the parking lights, and like the way it looks.

The japanese FTP's had bulbs in them, so you didn't have to have your headlights on. Our FTPs are clear (i guess the back is open) so that teh light from the headlights shines through.
I forget what else is about em, but They don't have the lines like ours do.
