Uhm, I thought what you said was funny, my response was meant to be funny as well.

HAS EVERYONE LOST THEIR SENSE OF HUMOR? In my day, giving someone the bird who gives you sh*t, was funny. :P

PLUS, it gave me a chance to use my ASCII finger!

arr0gant - sorry, I thought you were serious. If I had seen a “smiley face” after the "finger" shot, I would have known you were joking. That's one drawback about "written" communication. You don't get to see the look on someone's face or hear the “tone of voice” when you read a comment, so the reader may take a comment in a more serious vane than the author intended.

Thanks for the clarification! It's all good!

$26-29 seems to be the norm everywhere. I guess it's the postage that makes the difference.

The units we stock are factory oem from Germany. Porsche parts. Porsche jacked the price on the damn things late last year and drove them through the roof (with no reasonable explanation, of course). There may be knockoffs out there cheaper, or even the same units if someone had stock/inventory at the time of the price hike.

Steven, I still say it WASN'T your falt! Actually, I thought arr0gants initial post on the FREE side markers was really funny. I could not resist the opprotunity to give him a hard time, especially after the "Naa-na-naaa-na-naaa-naaa!!!" comment.

I guess what Steven doesn't understand is that his act-of-kindness helped me forget about the stupid HID's.

THANKS AGAIN STEVO!!!!

Besides, it was only like an $800 option. and $4600 to retrofit the exact factory lights.

No biggie, car still runs the same.

Yea I thought it was funny too. Gant has been great about it and I really did not want to say this too soon but my car has the HID's and I am not that crazy about them. I think I was really expecting something greater than they are and the high beams actually suck. Whatever is on my Lexus LX470 is far superior to these so Gant IMHO you are not missing much and you do have a great car Hope you are enjoying it!
