Nothing, man. I think I will try and call them but am also hesitant to do so because this seems sort of shady that they haven't responded.

I'll keep you updated.

I was unable to get ahold of that company so I've given up and started searching elsewhere. I just came across these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LHD-Crystal-He...ht_3085wt_1199

They look really nice and will fit. I emailed to see if they will ship to the U.S.

I'll let you know.

I haven't heard back from them about whether they would ship here or not. I'll keep trying though. I really like those lights.

That's a no go. Here is what she said

Hi



I am sorry due to the risk of damage in transit we are not able to ship this item overseas.



Kind Regards

Gina

PowerfulUK Ltd


Guess I'll try plan B. I know a few folks that live in England, might could get one of them to buy them for me and ship them to me.

The light pattern given from the fluted headlights distorts the beam given from an HID projector so defluting the headlights is only necissary in my case since im doing a HID projector retrofit

count me as another interested 2nd Gen owner. These lights remind me of the 83 Jeep I grew up driving, only worse.

The lady that emailed me back said they wouldn't ship here because of the likelihood of them breaking in transit.

Oh. I haven't been able to get ahold of him. He is TDY right now but he said he'd let me know when he gets back to England. I'll let you know.
