You'll end up paying import duties etc. Factor that in....

Not paid a single import duty so far and I don't intend too! Brexit has already happened in my mind!

I'm also thinking of getting some Valentis, but I guess that any saving in postage from the USA would be swallowed up by the cost of getting them from you to me.

As for not paying import duty - I hope that you never need to use a hospital, school, fire brigade, police or any of the other services that our taxes pay for!

I have emailed them maybe we would get a discount for multiple orders and I'll double check but it seems like you'd save 15-30£ per additional set of lights reship cost is like 4£

Not yet!

Do not buy, they are cheap replicas & you'll have condensation issues. Also factor in that if you want ones that don't look ricey then you'll have to go authentic anyway as they don't sell the full red ones.

I almost fell for this too last year. Wouldn't touch em.

This makes no sense..... you pay duty and fees on anything from outside the EU. That is largely irrelevant to Brexit (*shrugs*).

Everyone else has had to pay import fees when ordering from thespeedline, there's a number of people who have ordered from them on here. I would imagine ordering in larger numbers would highlight even further that you're not "receiving gifts"..... Customs guys aren't stupid

paid £50 tax for a pair of lights from them

More importantly how would you rate the quality of the lights!

They are Valenti's/White Label Valentis (depending on your view it seems). Made in the same factory regardless, should be no difference in quality.

If we made some sort of decent trade agreement with other countries, similarly to how we operate in the EU after brexit. Then imported goods tax would be charged at the uk rate in combination of the domestic rate ( basically meaning they don't need to pay as much tax one way or another essentially preventing the double dip tax effect to an extent. Also I emailed them and they are happy to mark it as a low value item so happy days. I'll be ordering within the next few hours if anyone wants to jump on. Uk customs are a bunch of clowns especially when compared to other countries. Do you think the average customs officer would know the difference between a 50£ pair of sunglasses and a 1500£ pair. Likewise with any other branded item. A peice of plastic witha bulb in it isnt necessarily incredibly valuable. Also I've ordered like 20 things from eBay Japan and not been customs charged once. One had the sticker on it to pay but the post lady just took it out and handed it to me instead of leaving a card to collect so that was nice   I already pay an Incredulous amount of tax and am happy to do so. I just don't want to tax Japan/USA for sending me their spicy wares.

Absolute rubbish.

Had 2 sets of Valentis from Speedline, both were identical to the "genuine" ones you pay £600 for in the UK.

Condensation in these lights is the same issue that affects the OEM lights and all aftermarket ones, the design is crap, so if you don't install them 100% you hit problems.

Additional to Paul's comments above, since when are the red Valenti's the only "non-ricey" ones?

I understand that opinion in relation to chrome Lexus-style lights, or (to a lesser extent) smoked lights, but what's wrong with the red/white ones that basically everyone has?

[Paul 442]

Nothing ricey about smoked lights either.

[nikndel 509]

As Paul said I have seen many makes with condensation problems it will be interesting if the facelift lights have solved the problem

i just agreed to buy a set of rays te37's from a chap who seemed a bit clueless. They were very cheap tho and from the pics have all the same marks as genuine's front and back, couldn't make out the J in the pics and when I asked him he said he had no idea and his advert just mentioned the size of the tire (17"), im pretty sure they're staggered. Definitely cant fit staggered wheels on the 86? i don't mind  buying 2 more the same as 2 of these and selling the remaining two as im picking them up at the weekend for £300 they are in decent nick and had been stored in his shed I assume by someone who wasnt him and he just wants them gone
