Hey guys

This is a Genuine WiseSports kit, which is FD3S-Specific, so everything should be plug 'n play. Placement/mounting of HID box is at your own discretion.

Yo Mark...(psycho929) glad you're in on this

JIC, where you at?

Damn Ramy this looks hot. But I'd still like to see some pics of the HID beam cut-off... Wise Sports doesnt have any?

Can you check on the lighting pattern? Also, can you check on exactly what is adjustable?

Exclamation Questions and important info on payments

They don't, but I'll make sure Ramy sees this and ask if he can get some.

1) See above

2) What I mentioned about the adjustability was a direct translated quote from the Wise Sports site. Again I'll see if Ramy can get some more info, but please keep in mind it's very difficult to get information like this, because of what's lost in translation.

Regarding payment info, I can also accept a paypal e-check which only costs a flat $5. Because it takes about 4 days for the funds to clear you will have to submit an e-check right away in order for it to clear by the deadline.

I estimated the other guy at ~$40 for EMS and ~$20 for surface shipping. These aren't solid numbers but a good estimate.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I spoke with Ramy today, and he'll hopefully be getting another computer by tomorrow. Once he does he'll be able use his email again and get some of the requested info from Wise Sports.

Also we may extend the deadline if it is necessary, so that all questions are answered before placing an order.

$605 (for the kit) + (portion of group shipping from Japan) + ~$47 for EMS ~$28 for surface (shipping to England)

Just want to let everyone know I'm using USPS to estimate shipping costs and using some safe #'s for the estimated weight.

Hey guys

A few things...

1) I'm waiting to hear back from WiseSports with the answers to your questions, so I'll let you guys know once I have anything to report/share.

2) PLEASE keep ALL financial dealings with Jason aka BlueRex. Given my current situation, my time is extremely tight - which is the very reason why I asked Jason to help me out in this group buy

3) I back Jason/BlueRex 100%, but plz, I am NOT and will NOT guarantee ANY shipping price quotes for any orders without having the size or weight of the package. Without that info, it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to give an accurate shipping quote, and to attempt otherwise would be wholly reckless IMO. Furthermore, for the international customers, I definitely can't give you an estimate either without having the package dimensions and weight, destination country, postal code, etc physically in hand. The best I can do is say that if you check my feedback, you'll see I've shipped many parts to Canada (cheap...cuz I can do international ground to Canada), and a few parts to the UK, Greece, and Australia. Shipping for light compact packages has ranged between $35 and $60 IIRC (with the $35 being to the UK, and $65 to Australia). Those are simply ESTIMATES. I have absolutely no problem giving a complete price breakdown for the shipping from Fedex/USPS/whatever shipping method I find the cheapest (yet fully insured and reliable) to your destination. I don't make money off of shipping, but I simply can't and won't promise anything without adequate info. Shipping costs will be made available as soon as they are ... well ... available

If there are any other questions or concerns, please let Jason or I know.

Thanks!
~Ramy

Can you clear up the issue with the cut off? Or maybe you did and I missed it?

These hid's are made for a rhd drive car driving on the other side of the road...so the cut off will be on the wrong side, right? I've seen a few european cars with euro headlights that have that exact problem.

So would I still be blinding people (errr, cops) with this light kit?

In my humble - and prob even crude - opinion, if you want the housings/HIDs, shipping costs (which will obviously be reasonable for such a small part) shouldn't stop you from buying 'em.

Oh and Jason, just for ease of viewing, you may want to arrange the usernames by tyep of order (lenses orders at the top, kits orders at the bottom). That way ppl can easily differentiate what they're getting (text gets jumbled up together in the middle)...

Alcoholic, from my knowledge, the problem ppl have w/ such Euro headlights are only from OEM units, which are pre-adjusted in a certain manner. I believe the aftermarket units (such as this one) don't have that problem.

Oh and WiseSports doesn't have a pic of the cutoff.

Thanks
