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.
Oh and about the whole reading thing check this out...

Not to get off topic but did anyone investigate the projection headlites they advertised?

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.
