    If you end up getting them give me a price for your stock headlights and I am going to try and set up a black headlight mod chain for TW world members.

    I want to get a set of OEM, black headlight mod them myself then offer a swap for someone stock, black them out and do it again

    if i get them i'll keep both. I have a thing about that. I have 2 grills, 2 sets of wheels, sort of a fear of commitment if you will......
    good idea though. maybe you'll get someone with fewer issues to start the chain.....

    I ordered a set from revotec on ebay last night. He told me they were made by Eagle Eyes, which also make OEM replacement headlights. And they are made in Taiwan. I will post pics when I get them.
