Not bad!? More pics, especially at night to see how well those light choices work would be good, after all, that's where it really counts. Ask the seller for some. Is the seller a forum member, I wonder? If you get, show us some pics.

looks like he may have read our last thread about these...he's now added the black tint around the outside of the lexan. definitely an improvement. I'm not all that confident in the lighting quality though...not that stock is good

I don't know what you are talking about since the black tint isn't even on the ones that are pictured. He has it written, in words, that they now have a black tint around the lexan. I think you are looking at the housing on top and directly around the edges and thinking "that" is actually tint on the lexan. This is off of his auction "ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT SHOWN IN THE PICS THE LEXAN COMES WITH THE LIP PREFINISHED IN BLACK AND THE MOUNTING BRACKETS ALSO COME FINISHED IN BLACK!!!"

the fog light on the outside will provide about zilch in the lighting category. It barely peaks out in one of the pics.

just build your own. get the housing from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475
and get a set of hella 90mm highs and lows. halogen or hid whatever. the only thing is that you will to make a bracket and maybe havve a lexan cover made. all in all 320.00 without cover. and I doesn't look like it has a lazy eye.

The same guy that sells the base even sells the cover. for 150. making the total the same at 450 however it will look so much better.

You don't have any connection to this do you? I only ask because you posted the same thing a couple months ago asking if people knew about these lights, now they've changed a little and you're posting again asking if anyone has seen them? Six months ago you were posting about how expensive RE legit and the RE copies were and how you could get a much better deal yadda yadda. Sorry, I'm always suspicious and this just had a bad smell to me. BTW I'm not in the market for lights and I don't sell any so this isn't anything like that.

I don't know man...he claims he's from virginia and the lights come from PR. I guess he could be fibbing about that but I don't really think so. It also looks like his car is in his avatar and the car they used for their pics was red. He's also not a brand new guy. This company makes sleek lights for a few different cars as well, not just 7s. Who knows...but its funny you saw that coincidence...pretty suspicious guy haha

No Tim, those are "high quality low and hi beams from Navigator/Pilot". They're not cheap ******* knock-offs of CATZ foglights at all...

Same here. Could be a scam or a very bad seller.
