Nope, they're not bright. The word bright is subjective. They lights illuminate accordingly per their function, which is why we post before & after shots of each and every product on our website so that people can see how they compare to stock. Camera is affixed on a tripod with same camera angles, manual aperture and exposure. No youtube videos of unfinished lights on a test-bench, no cheap techno music, no sleezy dancing girls.


We are very limited as to what options we offer. Our customers are not engineers, this is not Burger King where you can have it your way. Lights are safety devices, so we only offer a small handful of options which usually comes down to paint scheme for the bezels. Even then, we've had to decline some customer requests due to lack of color coordination.


It is. 12 years of being in business, you tend to see a lot of mistakes in the industry. As other vendors if they take apart your lights with a home oven or seal your lights with silicone, then purchase new factory replacement headlights at over $800 USD per light, and there is your answer as to why things are expensive. I always advise people leave things stock or, pay for it once and do it right.


What do you think we use for toilet paper around here? $100 dollar bills, only the best.


96-98 S13 180SX, not Type-X. Type-X is a trim and has nothing to do with the type of tail light. All trims of 96-98 S13 180SX came with the same (round) tail lights.

And, the kouki lights were HALF of what you're quoting and included all new lights with pre-painted center panel, lower metal trim and wiring that is pre-wired to the USDM wire harness so that its all plug-and-play. But if you're broke and want to cut corners, you can always supply the lights yourself which would save you some dough.


Nope, not a vendor on any forum. We're too low volume to justify the advertising costs most forums are asking. No hard feelings, if I'm violating policy, mods please delete this entire post.


I've got (2) 370Z's worth invested into one of my restorations, I stopped paying attention to pricing and simply buy what I like when it comes to cars. I dont think anyone in their right mind could compare Rota with Volk, or Megan with HKS. If it was up to my wife, we wouldn't have Advan AD08 tires on our daily driver. This is why she has no say when it comes to car related things. Do as you wish.

12 years ago when I started out, no one was doing this type of work. Nowadays you guys have plenty of vendors to chose from. Ryan and I had worked together when he had his 350Z and then inquired (again) when he got his 370Z. I still recall him telling me about another vendor at the time, that had similar but less expensive offerings. That vendor is no longer in business. It is what it is. We've been around forever and plan on staying. All of our products are designed to be fully serviceable and upgradable, I personally see a value in that. The cons are the high price and (very) LONG build times.

Good luck everyone and Ryan, thanks for the photos, kind words, and glad to see that everything is operating with no problems or water leakage.
