Different RE Amemiya light kits

Does anyone know if Re Amemiya has different light kits for FDs? I searched their gallery and seem to find differences between some of their kits, but they only list one on their catalog page.

I see a kit with lights that look like they are in a black casing like these:

http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...d_kita_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...d_mu_a_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...nagoya_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/..._koube_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...ashi_w_go.html

And I see ones that are not, like these:

http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...tunoda_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...hirata_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...d_ueda_go.html
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/gallery/...d_ochi_go.html

Just wondering what kit it is that they are advertising on their site. I could and probably will email them to find out for sure. But with all of the experience here on the forum I figured I would throw up a post and see what anyone has to say. Thanks, Jerry

There is only one light kit.
The pods are painted any color you want...so...some owners painted them black. Others, matched their cars color.

I figured that there is only one kit but it looks like there are different lights. Looks like some have a casing around the lights and some don't. Does anyone here have pics of these kits and can confirm?

Not true, RE-A offers 2 different sleek kits one vented and one without vents.

Sleek Light Kit

Basically we have 2 types of light kits , Sleek Light Kit.

One is for street. the other for track.

As for the track version , air intake option is available.

But not available for the street version.

Both versions have Xenon and Halogen.

So whats the difference between the street and track version besides the intake duct option? I'm considering replacing my C West carbon fiber headlight kit with the RE Amemiya sleek light kit with duct. I'm wondering why they don't consider the kit with the duct as a "street" kit. Rain? Things getting sucked in the duct? I think the duct is a great idea for us with single turbos since it would be great to duct right to the air intake of the turbo.

Also for the headlight with the duct I always see the intake duct listed separately. Does RE not sell the kits with the duct as a complete kit or do you need to order the regular kit and then add the duct? I would assume you would since I see the price of the regular kits run 1200 - 1500 US and the duct is another 1k US. $2500 or so for lights is a bit much but they are nice.

Maybe it's me, but I see a difference just between the street kits. Looks like some have black casing around the lights and some don't. If anyone here has the newest version of this kit would you please post or PM me a pic. I'm extremely interested in purchasing one but I want to know exactly what I'm getting. Thanks for the responses, Jerry

I think that it is observed how you would spend $2500 on a light kit when you could of spent that money on a NEW ENGINE!!!

I wasn't planning on spending anymore than $1500, and that's still a bit much. And as far as a new engine goes, the one I have in there only has like 12k miles and only has around 360rwhp, so I'm sure it's fine.
