    Mr. Lens quality?

    There's been a few posts lately about people dealing with Mr. Lens, but to those of you who actually got your set of lenses, how is the qualilty?
    Thanks.

    in my opinion: crap

    they're plastic! OEM stuff is glass! even Depo lights have glass lenses. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my pair of high beam lenses, anyone wanna buy them?

                I believe the word you were looking for there was 'substance'. That is, of course, unless you were purposefully referring to the act of sustaining.

                    They have a US distributer that sells their products on eBay. I wouldn't buy them from SA; too many people have been screwed over.

                      I got mine from Africa just fine...it took 6 weeks...but...the quality seems fine. I've only got them on the fogs. Beam pattern's great, and there's plenty of light on 55w bulbs, so the optics must not be too bad...

                      Let's see...$35 for a close approximation, or about $170 for the real deal...I'll take the cheaper of the two in this case.

                        I imagine the Mr.Lens fogs are just fine. But you really should get 3M protective films for them. Plastic lenses will sand blast FAST.
