Yeah, gotta allow for that when shipping from europe -> I have actually cleared my own customs with shipments from Gert, I tell the shipper (like UPS) that I will take the custom forms and clean them myself. They are close to our airport, I go down, pickup the paperwork, drive over to customs (about 5 min), pay anything I need to (like taxes), and then take the stamped paperwork back to the shipper to pickup the package. Otherwise you can get hit with $50+ bills for just doing the brokerage, nevermind any taxes or duties.

Cheers,

Mike

These come pre-equipped with LED based fog lights that are to match the factory xenons. The base ducts are OEM Porsche parts. Gert's upgrades will surely put the price-tag well above Sunset.

Does the led foglights actually put out usable light or are they more of a positioning light that is matched to the HID's?

No, they come with LED bulbs in them, about $20 a pair off Ebay

He lists the standard ones at €280 and fitted with LED's at €310

I just wondered how much they are in USA from Porsche, in the UK they are £220 or about $330

These lights must be better than the ones on Ebay as they are made in Spain

How can you tell if you have the LED fogs or not? I ordered mines from Pelicanparts a while back and would like to upgrade the bulb. They seem to be very bright.
