Well there was a set of 9N3 lights on eBay and I contacted the seller about shipping internationally. Got no response so I didn't bid....what a shame
I have emailed VAG Parts. The only problem is that they won't value the shipment at the a lower amount so customs here try to charge 50% (so a good £100 EEEEK!)
Any ideas where I can get a set from someone that'll mark 'em at say value £50?
Thanks!
Mike

wel the seller was charging £25 for UK which is a bit steep
so international shipping will be a lot more i would imagine

I don't mine spending around £100 on the lights and £50 (tops) for shipping as long as it is valued 'low'. Right now VAG *does* FedEx to Sri Lanka for around £30 which is SWEET but they put the full value and my last order was £180 and the item is stuck at customs.
Tomorrow they are gonna ask me for my kidney...

i emailed him about it and argued his cost. he then said if i won the auction he would charge me £20 not 25 weird.
i could have sent them for £7.49...joke! was one of the reason why i didnt bid on them!

I've been thinking it over a bit. I'm gonna stick to the stock tail lights for now and instead I've purchased a Xenon HID kit instead. Martyn @ VAG Parts has given me a pretty sweet quote for a set of these lights as well but I need to confirm if it is via RM or FedEx. Only diff is that this eBay seller is willing to mark a lower value for Customs
