Did you buy a knock-off C-West replica kit and it didn't come with lights? The C-West kit uses CATZ XLO and MSC lights, but CATZ is out of business now, as far as I know. If you can't find those lights, try finding the specs (dimensions), and you can probably substitute something similar.

eBay and Google.

I bought about 6 sets of various Catz lights and am saving up for a few projects.


eBay is much cheaper than the vendors selling off the last of their CATZ stock.

Bingo! CATZ North America closed it's doors, but is still in business in Japan.

Yes, unless it specifically stated that they weren't included. C-West kits come with the lights. The knock-offs typically don't.

Sorry, those parts are long gone. They were both "hyperwhite" versions of the XLO and MSC foglights, IIRC.

The parts are still available.

I ordered a set of the XLO, XLD, MSX, MSC and a few others off of eBay for 1/4-1/3 of what they "retail" for.

Do a google search, I sourced a lot of vendors who sold them before getting them off of eBay. But the selection gets worse and worse as the supply gets lower.

The cwest kit costs 1200+ from most vendors....Rx7 store carries it, however I called up there today and they did not have the catz lights that I need for my kit. If you buy a new kit that shouldnt be a problem tho.
