to answer your question ryan - they are very hard to come by for the mx - only once a month or so are they up for auction - so whoever has them - i will try and get them...
Ive found out the same thing, i actually think its all of Texas cops.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Could you not just swap out the LED/filter to make it blue? Shouldn't be a whole lot of work.

A little more about these: They are cheap for a reason. There are 2 pieces that are screwed together that are made of 2 pieces each that are melted together. Where they're screwed together doesn't match up, and where they're melted together, the seem looks bad. I did some scraping, and sanding, and mine look pretty good. I'm a perfectionist, who used to show cars. If you want to put these on a show car, you must do what I did. As I mentioned, I smoothed out the ridges, too. I could put up pics, if you're interested.

oh! yes please! this is EXACTLY the kind of info i was needing - thats cool about the sanding and what not - being a perfectionist myself. thank you very much for the input and headsup - if they look good on the car the way im hoping - then i will get them - i still think they are pretty cool

I saw them on a HonduH two nights ago, the looked a little... longer, you know? Like they stuck out a bit. They looked out of place on his car, I hope it looks better on yours. He also drove with the blue on, and it looked like the xenon headlight blue.

I have a picture of these on the car of the guy I bought them from. It's in my inbox, and I can't get it to paste here. They just look smaller than stock, and since they're not tall top to bottom, they look longer.
