Over the last week, I have been in contact with a chap called Joachim at Jom.de, who supply these from Germany and mentioned that there may be a few people interested in these DRLs.  He said he was willing to speak to Les at veedubmachine.co.uk, who is the UK reseller where I bought the lights from, to see about doing a 'special price'..

I've not heard anything from Les yet, but a bit of discount may be possible.  I bought my set from his website (www.veedubmachine.co.uk) which is cheaper than his eBay site.

Part numbers are as follows:

80077   : clear lenses (like mine)
80079   : smoked lenses

Both types are currently available at £115.88 + £5.30 p&p = £121.18

Therefore, total including VAT = £142.39

Apparently it's random who they send to install the lights.. it's a bit of a gamble and could be one of the Jom ladies, or it could be Darren!  :laugh:

These are pics of the 2 types available:

Smoked (80079):

Clear (80077):

I take it the light output is the same for each one?

I guess so..  I went for the clear on the basis that if they were too bright, I could probably tint them myself.  However, I'm very pleased with them as they are.  :happy2:

I've not heard back from Les at veedubmachine yet.  I've been a bit busy at work I'm afraid, so not had chance to chase him up.  I might ask if he'll give me some individual discount codes for you to use, that I could PM to those interested..

How many people out there are genuinely interested in these?

I am on the cusp of buying but a discount code would do it for me!

Cheers Bodger!  Thanks for taking up the mantle, as it were.  I've not had chance to follow it up properly.  At least I did the initial testing for you all!

Don't suppose I'll qualify for a retrospective discount..  :sad1:

Good luck with it and if you need any more info, you know where I am.

Cheers  :drinking:
 
Paul.

these are very nicely done  :happy2:
as an aside they could also be used as cold air feeds for brakes/intake instead of open grilles if you take the holders out  :happy2:
