If you ship DHL, they'd probably arrive after you get back in April.

I'm still waiting for my Euro LCI tails.

They were shipped two weeks ago.

Thankfully I now have a number for USPS, but it says they are still in transit.

Wow, that's quite an assignment!

What sort of 'agency' were you working with? Polizei? Bundeswehr?
it was part of the 4 nation agreement (america / UK / russia / france) it was the only hold the commies had in the west (after the war) and when hess "died ) the ruskies had no more reason to be in the west, and spandou prison was raised to the ground,
i was part of the brit SF detail that was tasked to "oversee" things, and met my ex there.in 1987

i think its a car park now?
he was the only inmate there for as long as i can remember...in the whole prison.......

Ok, I am finally back in Berlin and I called to get a price on LCI tails with amber blinkers. They run ?240 per side, so ?480 in total including the 19%VAT (sales tax).

According to xe.com, live middle market rate at the time of this posting, this would equal $606.47. Shipping would be in the ?40-60 range, give or take.

In other words, it may not be economical to have me help you with this. I would be happy to however, the choice is yours.

I asked about a 'group buy' hypothetically of 4 or 5 pairs and he said we could save 10% that way....

GB price would be ($545) = to US LCI tail light price...that's a great deal...

Charles, thanx for doing all the leg work...pick-up from you when you get back over shipping an option?

Charles,
I got my tails 169 euros each just last Autumn. I asked several dealers and most of them quoted that 240. The dealer I bought them from is near Berlin (some 20 km). I still have the contact information.

Edit: Are you coming to the Leipziger Automesse next month by the way?

Nien, Ich wohne in Amerika - aber Ich arbeite in Deutschland fur nur ein paar monate pro jahr...
Ich welde fur drei wochen in Europa sein.


I thought about the offer to bring the tails with me - and I am open, but I would have to buy a new piece of luggage - although, if I manage to find the dealer mja spoke of, the price with shipping might not be so bad?
