Default VRD fogs on ebay

I was wondering if these are to good to be true or maybe these are fake VRDs. These seem to cheap to be VRD fogs.

I was wondering what you guys thinks about these.

Thanks

Yea I think those are the bootleg VRDs. I see a couple things wrong with them
1) Taiwan? I'm pretty sure VRD is in Cali. And no tCs in Taiwan so why would they be there in the first place.
2) 90 bucks? I payed 180 AFTER 40% off
3) no 04 tC
4) They're not OEM, not even OEM style.

I was thinking these were fake and didn't really trust these at all. I was wondering if anyone that has the real VRDs can look at the their box or the actual product to see were it is made.

I know the company VRD is in the Cali (i think) but maybe the manufacture of the lights might be over seas.

I wasn't planning to buy these but just thought it was funny that they were so cheap and was just wondering what everyone thought about these.

Reason's I wouldn't trust the seller, and I have bought over 300+ items on eBay:

1. Item is from overseas: Taiwan...sometimes shipping can take a while and Customs can and will inspect your packages and delay it further.

2. Seller has only 5 feedback ratings

3. NO REFUNDS, only exchanges if the item is defective or incorrect item sent. If found defective you must notify them within 24 hours of when you received the product, otherwise it is void.

"Assemble In U.S.A." sounds like Engrish to me.

VRD is located in Cali. I just talked to one of the guys last week. They are currently out of stock for the White fog lights. So I'm stuck waiting for them.

I don't think you have to worry that they're from Taiwan. My Anzo tails were manufactured and shipped from China and I received them in a couple of weeks and they were great quality. The 5 feedback is a little sketch. Try sending him messages for more information/pics because it is a really good deal.

i ordered some just recently from that ebay member...for a 07 tc... i really could care less to pay 200+ for a set of fogs,, which i have payed before on my lowered 03dodge and if it looks close enough to the Tc VRd's u would never really know,, i will post some pics when i get them,, by the way the company seems to handle everything really good considering its over seas,, i buy lots of import stuff anyways, they seem to follow the same shipping steps that i get from other countrys

just because it's assembled in the US, doesn't mean they're made here..

hmmph... they assembled the pieces and put them in a box... oh yeah... "Assemble In U.S.A."

How about all the $175 ebay VRD Fogs?? Are those legit?

I also see one from "VertexRacing" (off ebay) w/ HIDs.. are those HIDs reliable? And why is there such a huge price difference?...

Very shaddy things are going on with this manufacturer imo...

Yeah VertexRacing sells real VRD's also directshoponline...I got mine from directshoponline, good deal! Actually if you go to vertexracing.com right now they are having a scionlife sale.

I think I saw some where that "Vertexdrift" on ebay also sells real VRD's.
