Want to clean up the look of your front end? Stealth bulb group buy! - Page 4 - LotusTalk

zoltiz · 02-06-2008, 03:23 PM

I got these a day after I bought the Elise.

Hate to be a stinker but they are $12 shipped all over eBay. $12 a pair that is.

really?????

So the 25 group buy is a Lotus tax????

zoltiz · 02-06-2008, 03:30 PM

Search eBay for PY21W...

Bane · 02-06-2008, 04:12 PM

uhhhhhhhh NO.

If you want the knock-offs you can get them all day on eBay for $12/shipped. That was stated earlier in this thread.

You can also get fake digital cameras and nearly anything else electronic from eBay's grey market for about 1/2 the price.

HID kits are there for $70 shipped if you want to put those on your Lotus also:

This group buy is for the REAL THING. It'll come in the Stealth package and hold the warranty.

Ian: Already done, I'll post the list later tonight.

zoltiz: I'd appreciate it if you didn't post stuff like that in my thread. It's disrespectful to me and especially to Stealth since they are the ones being hurt by the Chinese made fakes. Thanks.

zoltiz · 02-06-2008, 04:37 PM

No problem. Just one question - what are the benefits of the "REAL THING"?

My experience with these "knockoffs": they fit, they are chrome, they light up orange, they last 3+ years (still have first set that I bought in '05 and moved to 3 different cars that happend to take the same bulb).

I honestly did not realize there was a "Stealth" brand established. Great idea. Should've patented it, then there would be no eBay knockoffs.

JuLiAn-Y · 02-06-2008, 04:58 PM

interested
would it be extra shipping to Canada?

Bane · 02-06-2008, 05:19 PM

Advantages of the real thing:

- Higher quality (coating is from the same people who do coatings for NASA)

- Guaranteed fit... no "you can shove in normal straight lug bulbs..... ebay silver versions" like big_peaches posted about in post #34 above

- Warranty through myself and Stealth

- Made with pride in the USA

- 100% DOT legal

- You'll be helping an established community member slightly (me) and Stealth themselves

Yes, I prefer not to ship out of the country but would send them to Canada for $30 shipped. Sorry... it's more of a hassle.

I am happy to wait a week for the next round. Thanks for taking the time; I said I was in for two sets and I am still up for two sets.

teekster · 02-06-2008, 06:44 PM

Is this still open for the 2nd batch?

Bane,

If there is still time to get in on this, then I'm in. Let me know when you want me to send the money by PayPal if this is still available. Thanks!

Yes! the group buy will keep going! I will be getting 40 sets of these within the next 2 weeks so anyone that wants one should be able to get it.
