I'll see if i can get some proper pictures of them for you.

I can get you whatever you want, but its the shipping that kicks the ar$e out of it (thats a$$ to you guys).
My mate has a spare 300tdi, no gearbox though.
I think an engine alone you can pick up for about £750, gearbox about £200 (manual or auto) I wouldnt like to make a stab at the shipping costs though....

Small things won't be too bad, i can send them as a gift so you shouldnt incur any port taxes. :D

Cool now we have an inside guy!

HI,
I spoke to Amy in the shop, and she apologises, but that is the only photo she has of the lights.
They're a pukka store though.

I really like the looks of them too, Darren>>>if you have a chance find out what it would take for shipping to the US....I'm sure some of us would be glad to reimburse you for your efforts especially if the seller won't ship to us here...
thanks, Rod

I've just emailed the store for a rough packaged item weight, i should then be able to calculate shipping costs, its usually flat rate across to the US regardless of final destination.
These are pretty expensive units though, £200 each..... thats a lot of dollar!

well people in the states will pay because there simply is very little to no aftermarket upgrade parts here specific for our trucks! I would imagine it would be the same way for Jeep parts for you, you probably have to import most aftermarket jeep parts but we can get hundreds of them here locally!

I think the price is fantastic! Way cheaper than 03-04 headlamps and trim

Yeah, it's about $321 US for us, but the stock headlamps are $145 each by themselves new. The turn indicator assemblies are $40 each new. The trim is $45 each new. So for us to replace one side(say, if someone hit us or a rock/tree got in the way of one corner) it would cost us $230 before shipping to do one side. If a rock hits a headlamp and busts it, You have to spend $145 plus shipping. With a cheaper(hopefully) round headlamp, replacement could be under $20.
So $321 to replace $415 in parts isn't that bad of a deal. Especially if we sell our used parts to someone else.

A question that hasn't been asked(or maybe I missed it) is how much is a replacement light for the kit going to cost? If it costs an arm and a leg, might as well stick with what I have.
