Meh, I'm not trying to be a total ass. It just bothers me when a store uses images taken by other people and gathered from the internet.

We have no idea if Valenti will even sell these directly in the US market. Even if the lights do make it to the US, we dont know who's gonna be an authorized dealer.

There are no authorized dealers for Valenti in the US. but you buy the "version 1s" on several different websites. Hell speed factory carries blue lens Valenti tails. I get them if the housings were black instead of chrome

Just a lil bit of one

If the manufactures released pre-production samples to shops like us and allowed us to test the products we would not need to search the internet for content. There is already info out there about these lights publicly its not we or anyone else leaked a big secret and spoiled all the fun - We hope Valenti does allow these to come to the US legally and has authorized dealer or distributor so the information is correct and lights can actually come with a manufacture warranty.

Look what happened to the 3 bar lexon lights - no proper marketing in the US, no dealer structure - and they are impossible to get. Same as collins on Ebay - you buy them you're SOL on warranty

You're missing my point. I find it dishonest for a business to use other people's content (pictures in this case) on their own website, unless somehow attributed anyway.

You should be just waiting for real info from the manufacturer like everyone else instead of putting up a useless page to try and get attention. I get it, its marketing, you're a business. I just personally find it dishonest, voiced my opinion, and tried to avoid getting personal. But I guess that last part doesnt go both ways.

As for the Lexon headlights, that's kinda my point. You're putting up a listing for these tail lights before you even know you can get them. If you put up a listing for the Lexon headlights when they were first announced, I don't think they would have magically appeared.

So it still doesn't have an actual brake light?! To everyone interested, get ready to lose your rear end court cases.

It probably does between the signal flasher and the bar. That's probably where the brake light is.

Well no shit, but would you consider that to be adequate in any way? Yes it is that tiny little bar between the turns and glow tube thingy.
