Voytek had them listed on his site.. so Mitch (ZX3tuning) might have some left over. Or at least he'd be able to get some in and you wouldnt have to pay duty and shipping from Germany again.

You could always break out the dremel and make you stock bulb holders fit.

his prices are low because he doesn't list shipping nor are things like duties, customs and broakerage factored into the price.
plus i keep hearing stories about how when people get their stuff, it broken and/or missing parts, then they get the run around from him...

Hey Mitch, it was just a link to a website that I know does stock them. Also, it's common knowledge for people that have purchased anything across a border that there will be brokerage fees and duty costs involved.
Anyway, of course if someone in Canada has them, you will avoid those things like brokerage, duty, etc. I emailed Sascha a few times now, always got a shipping quote if I asked for it.
Either way, I would get stuff though you in a second before anyone else for the fact that I have heard nothing but good things about you as well as mentioned above, the 'fees' don't apply in your case.

I had to rewire my reverse lights sockets and brake/turn signal sockets for my European tails. It's a totally different bulb and socket altogether. I'm sure you could ghetto rig up the stock north american sockets for the time being, but condensation could eventually be a problem.

also if possible i need at least 2 of them to be sockets for 1157 bulbs, so that i can keep it NA set up
and the duty/shipping wasn't that bad! it was only $40 bucks!
