Martinjj Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) OK, the Japanese folks drive on the left side of the road, so therefore i figure that their Headlights are pitched the same as ours, so i decided to go on Ebay Japan... http://www.sekaimon.com basically because i am bored rigid! whilst their i am browsing Zed stuff for HR 350's (namely headlights). Anyway my Spanish is good, my Japanese is nil and my English is questionable being a Yorkie, but the OEM headlights seem remarkably cheap at just a shade over £220 per unit, but i can't work out whether its a buy it now or if that is the highest bid, i seem to recall that over here they run at around £700 a lamp (maybe it was a dream) for 06-09 models. So do we have anyone who can translate so we can have a definite answer please?. Heres a link to a driver side lamp: http://www.sekaimon.com/i361017529861 PS: i have already looked for Tommy K badges.. there are none..lol Edited August 16, 2014 by Martinjj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Easy, use Google Chrome and in the top left hand corner there's a translate button . Pete 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinjj Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Its on Japanese eBay and its second hand, SCROLL DOWN AND ITS IN ENGLISH...!!! Yeah i got all that before, but the English bit shows no price at all or whether its a BIN or Auction, I actually have a feeling its a USA company listing on Ebay Japan, so the unit would be no good over here.

What bits do you want translated, as its also listed in USD, yes agree Jap cars are same as us, but US Companies sell lights to us on Fleabay, I know I bought some.

choptop Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have had a look at this and would like to point out that UK Spec cars are very different to US Spec or even JDM Cars. The price given is then subject to import duty and VAT not to mention the shipping costs.and I wonder weather UK Spec car wiring looms would fit it. You will also need someone who is fluent in written Japanese to complete the pages following the bid page. Google Chrome translation is absolutely no good for this as it wouldn't cope. Fair shout for finding this but personally I would walk away. I can get by with my Japanese but I wouldn't even go for this. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinjj Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thanks for that choptop, I've found an even better Japanese auction site that is chockablock with zed stuff, page after page www.buyee.jp even a Nismo exhaust for DE on there @ roughly £230 and English translation. I understand about import fees and shipping as up until recently I used to import ecigs on a monthly basis from China where DHL air frieght would cost me around $150 USD. Might be worth firing off an email to one of the specialist importers based over here to find out about wiring looms and such like, £300 for a brand new OEM headlight for late model Zeds ain't to be sniffed at if it fits ok, let's say with duty and freight £500 or so it's still cheaper than 700-950 like I can find over here.

If you want an email translated into Japaneese just write it out in English send it to me and my "better half" will translate it into Japaneese for you and send it.

Martinjj Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 That's a kind gesture Will, thanks very much, I will certainly keep you in mind should there be something I need from one of these places, as it is I was just being curious as to what savings could be made. I found some great online used car parts places in Japan last night, you know the kind like we have here where dealers from all over the UK are emailed what you are looking for. It's amazing what boredom can drive a man to google... Ps, could probs be a good idea to remove your email addy so it doesn't end up being a spam target... Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyntax Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 You could always befriend somebody who lives in Japan, and get them to sort it for you. I know a couple of people (through friends) who export parts and cars to the UK and charge very little to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
