I\'d be ringing them to chat to the receptionist!!!!
They look very similar to the RE:A lights.... or is it the C-West??? I forget now!!!

They look very similar to the C West. Be careful buying from raceon as well. Although the prices seem very good they don\'t like dealing with foreign customers and clobber you with high shipping charges. Also they won\'t let you use paypal unless you have a verified US paypal account so you need to use an international bank transfer which costs even more (my bank charged me £25). On top of that you will get hit with import duties at somewhere between 20 - 25% of the cost of the lights.
The lights are nice but make sure that you factor in all the costs before you commit to buy them.

I have to agree barmar as I have also had the same problems.  Much prefer to get them from Japan.  Check out Yahoo JP auctions ;-) Many bargains to be had!

I had some of those on my old fd, and bought them from Raceon....never had any of the problems mentioned above....however i did buy mine when those guys had just started out.....so maybe they have changed their policies a little since the beginning.

I bought a set second hand. I still haven\'t fitted them as they looked a *REAL* pig to install. Don\'t suppose anyone has any instructions, or Lee.... do you have any pics of them installed?
