New HID Kit from Japan?

Has anyone ever seen this HID light kit? I found it on a website from Japan quoted as 58,000Yen. It says it's HID, but I don't know if both bulbs are HID or just one. Does anyone have any info on this kit or have you guys seen it in the US? I didn't see this kit posted anywhere on the site, so I hope it wasn't posted before.

Raybrigs have some HIDs that are rectangular... but I'm not sure 58000 yen seems cheap.

nope just a pic I snapped out of a Hyper Rev mag. I went to the website but there is not content there. It looks like the same kit though.

Nameless, you're right too - the HIDs they're using for the kit are Raybrig's 200 or R1300 and R500's. Maybe 58,000Yen is only for the clear kit and housing...I don't know.

Those are pretty nice, not on that car, but they have a lot of potential.

Looks like the lights from the numerous crappy GM vehicles of the late 80's early 90's

Exactly what I was going to say, it reminds me a lot of the American made cars, like Geo Storm.

I don't know, the white one from the magazine looks almost home-done, but check the purple FD out in the first pic. That one looks pretty awesome. I know what you mean by them looking like old cars, but I think they look good.

Those lights aren't so good looking IMO. Quite a few better ones on the market already.

They aren't the best, no, but what other HID options do we have right now? Anybody care to post some links of a few?
