The seller just emailed me too about the GB. I'm trying to get some sort of pricing structure since they have limited stock (10 units of each color).
I do have a disclaimer that since it's only day 1, please be aware that they aren't 100% full proof in regards to looooong term use. I will work with the seller to guarantee us that IF by chance it causes errors within a reasonable time limit, we would be able to return them with no restocking etc.
I asked him for a GB pricing structure for 5 clear units and also a number for 10 clear units.

So is someone going to send me a set of these or what? Probably just need one side to save on weight of shipping. From what I've seen so far getting the Brake/Tail bulbs sorted should be easy. The LED rods may be a little bit of a hassle just because of the way they are wired. PM me for address details.

Update for you guys.
They currently have 6 clear and 5 tinted sets left.
Seller asked me to get names of those interested and he'll set a price below the listed ebay price.

The pictures of these lights installed on the first page of this thread, and I think around 17-18 of the original thread are of the tinted ones FYI.

The lights are here, and one is installed (taking a break to type this up and eat some homemade chili...yum...)
Pics to follow.
First impressions:
-- The lights are very well packed. Formed hard foam keeps them protected.
-- The quality looks very good. Fitment when attached to the car looks very good.
-- The overall look of the light is good. The one sub-par piece are the light bars. As mentioned, they are brighter on each end of the bar, but fades as the light moves to the middle. I don't believe the bars are accessable to perform refractive 'cuts', at least not without major cutting to the plastic.
-- There are three resistor packs (8 resistors per pack). Two, surprisingly, go to the two running/brake lights. Bruce may understand their use - I'm guessing error code suppression. I'm not sure about the third pack, but I will find out via disconnecting it and seeing which light(s) is affected. If this pack runs the LED bars, I could see bypassing a single resistor of the eight to possible brighten them up some - kinda scary thinking about longevity to the LED's tho.
-- The other LED's (turn signal and three SMD LED's that show on the side, upper) look beautiful.
So...will I keep 'em? Yes, because although they do not match LCI's, they are cool looking on their own merit, especially considering the price point.
