Does anyone know where or how i might be able to buy a set of these?

This is the site but its all in Japanese and when i try to use Babelfish to translate it, all i get is broken english.
There is a link to click called Order but it is also all in Japanese and Babelfish doesnt want to load it.

 

you can't, Japanese usually won't ship overseas, don't respond to english emails, don't take credit card, and if they do ship, the shipping would be outrageous. Basically save up your money and then find an importer that deals with importing products from japan to the US. I'll be doing the same thing except i will be buying a front lip, fenders, and skirts and using my 3 years worth or crappy japanese

 

Hmm well theres got to be a way, maybe theres a Vendor out there that can get through to them and get some stuff to sell.

 

Could always get a spare set of OEM markers and buy the LEDs wire up a small board, homemade adaptor and you're set. Assuming you know how to do such work.

 

I've previously enquired about Japanese export services, and was given these suggestions (I haven't tried them):
http://www.takakaira.com/services.html

takakaira is pretty good, but if ya ever get anything from japan get a bunch of stuff at once because shipping is always high, doesn't matter what ya get.

 

so i would have to buy alots of stuff? i may just end up putting an LED blub in my stock clear housing for now, until i can find a way to get those

 

I haven't seen any exactly like those, but there have been some LED side repeaters on ebay.

 

You don't have to buy lots of stuff, it's just that shipping is high so you may want to take advantage of combining additional items in the same shipment.

I am now using LED bulbs in my stock housing. The advantage is that they do not give the housing an orange appearance when the bulbs are not lit. However they are not as bright or visible as the regular bulbs.

 

I have tried looking on ebay and havent found anything, maybe i am not searching right. I tried every term from MINI, Cooper, LED, side marker, side repeater, etc.

I just did a quick search and found these, i may order a set just to see what they look like in person, i liked the ones i posted first cause the looked closest to OEM, im not a big fan of the crystal lense thing but it maybe my only option.
