Ok, so the approximate prices at this time are:
- Texas Performance GTS buckets - uncut fibreglass: $150
- Texas Performance GTS buckets - uncut Carbon fibre: $250
- Texas Performance GTS buckets - cut ??

- Lenses cover (any color): $125 (this is the price that is more subject to change)

Thanks

No sure what you mean by euro lights, but they will be 4x6 like in the pics in page 8 in the bottom.
Or you can buy the buckets uncut and mount the light style you prefer.

Euro lens, as in non DOT lights, so they actually produce a decent amount of light.

They should come with a DOT bulb, but you can change them for whatever you what.

No, it's not the bulb. The entire headlight housing is either a euro housing, so it has a much better lens and light pattern, or it's a DOT housing.

Slightly off topic or should I say parallel
I try the heavy duties Meguiare’s headlight restoration kit on my daily drive this morning and the results are pretty good.
I can see using this product on the GTS headlights covers in the future.

Ah so your fiberglass buckets are twice what TPC made them for... I guess I can understand given they have more products and stopped making these.
