    There's always a few sets for sale on ebay for around 130-140 bucks. Not sure of the quality, you'll have to check and trust the seller's feedback.

    If you want one for sure I'll sell you one for $250. You can call me, then pay me, and Ill buy one from a guy on Ebay, have it shipped to me then send it to you.

    Sure, why don't we make it $500. Maybe you should find more constructive things to do with your time. :D

    stinky cut like a knife sometimes. :p

    I've been surfing around looking for a shop, no luck so far. You might try the Toyota parts counter people, or better yet the service techs. I'd bet some of them are into modding and would know a good source.

    The funniest thing is My wife just told me the same thing.

    Its unlikely that you will find a shop that you can call that will have the item at this point. Ebay seems to be the first place that has the new stuff for our car. They have connections to someone in Taiwan or korea where the parts are made, then import them themselves. You will need to wait for APC to make their own, or for some other shops to realize they can get them., Thing is though, you still wont get them for less than on Ebay. And any shop will mark the item up at least 200% so if the guys on Ebay are buying it for $80 US (A little low I think unless they are buying hundreds at a time). then the shops will also pay about the same. So you are going to be looking at $240 for the price, plus they will make you pay $20 - $40 for shipping via UPS second day service. So the lights will quickly cost you $300.

    Do you have something against buying from Ebay? In most cases it will be the same product as the shops have, and will get it cheaper. The biggest problem is being sure you will actually get the item. But there are things you can do to find out how responsible the seller is.

    I've ordered lot of stuff from ebay and I never had problems, just be sure to read carefully the seller feedbacks and avoid sellers with negative ones!

    I actually have ordered things in the past from Ebay, however, on these lights specifically, the shipping charges are absolutely outrageous. The one place, I believe it is 4Car Option or something like that, wants $30 for shipping. I am in So. Cal and a shipping charge that high is just ridiculous. I understand that it is a flat rate and nothing can be done about it.

    thats still less than you are going to pay if you ever find it at a shop. the base price for the lamps will be higher, and the shipping may be lower.

    the only stuff like that which you will find at every street corner (so to speak) will be stuff for the civic. and also because these are fairly new, you will have to deal with online buys.
