Can get a lot of stuff "shipped" through Northridge 4x4.  They have a store in Ponoka now.  Have to sometimes wait about a month between they're runs though.  Call David at the Dot Com address and he can hook you up.

What brand of lights are they?

Looks like I hit a nerve that is shared by many. :D

Thanks for all the input everyone. 

The lights in question are from Spyder Auto out of Industry, California.  Headlights, tail lights & fog lights.  Have a quote through Street Pros in Georgia for $364.24 including shipping(best pricing I have found anywhere, including ebay).  Asked about sending by USPS but they use UPS only($62.34 without brokerage).  I've tried to find a Canadian distributor but no luck.

When do you need them?  My sister is in the US for school and is home mid-december.  if they are shipped to her and then brought home as either a gift or "used parts" it might work.

Thanks for the offer.  I have had the same thought but kinda needing them sooner than later(especially the headlights).

I wonder if her simply resending them from school would work?

Tried ebay?  Didn't compare prices, but these guys ship to Canada, granted probably via UPS...

Thanks for the heads up Pat!!  I can get to ebay on the work computer but restricted from doing anything past that >:(.  Looks like this seller has all 3 items...sweet!  The shipping is UPS but I can't put all 3 items together to see what the combined shipping might cost.  Do you have access/time to check that out?

Thanks Tink!!

I'll get a hold of a couple of distibutors that I use and see if they carry them. I think one of the distributors does, if its the same company that came out with the spider LED replacement bulbs that have withs that fold out when you put them into a lense a while back. If it is the same company, I can get them along with any crappy tire, national, and a few other places. Some places don't have a clue of all the products that they can actually get.


But I won't be able to get  a hold of them till monday :(

Crazy!!  A item that costs $106 US will cost $98 US to have shipped up.  The ebay seller that has what I want only ships UPS(starting to make me think they all have shares in UPS or something).  Totally silly :o.

ESI...if you gots some connections, please share.  Will be much appreciated ;).

You had any luck yet?  I'm still exploring possibilities too :-\.
