Not got round to fitting them yet...
Word of warning with this ebay seller: contacted them to see if they can confirm 964 fitment, as advert only states '911' fitment. Initial response was "why should they fit" and after explaining that a 964 is a 911 I was told to "waster other people's time with such nonsense".

Interesting customer service. Not that I'd now buy from them even if 964 fitment was confirmed, I'd be interested to hear how you get on George?

Hi
I did some research first (this thread included) and knew they would fit so just ordered them.
They arrived promptly and I thought they were a reasonable price for genuine lenses.
Still not fitted them as yet...

Wish I'd done the same research with my HID kit as when it turned up it was obvious it wouldn't fit as it needed a direct battery power source
Turned out the supplier was in China too so would cost me more to send it back than I'd get as a refund

Forgetting for a moment that these clear lenses make your nighttime illumination almost useless... These things are available for $40USD from the USA, so even with shipping and VAT(?) why would anyone pay £98.00/$163USD that the ebay seller is asking?

Even cheaper from the megabug link a few pages back. Totally disagree with the fact it makes them useless, yes the beam pattern isn't as defined but they still illuminate perfectly well..

The lenses I got were original hella vintage lenses (new old stock).
Not the cheap reproductions.

Plus import tax? Not sure how much it would be, I was around £60 to import my door cards from appbiz I think
