I too have checked as I wants to buy more and am shocked to see the price jacked up. Even more so when they refunded may cash fora other order,
That is taking the **** .
Anyone got other suppliers ? I checked two others and they too have also jacked up the prices - I little off key !! Report to eBay ? Unfair trading ??

Well, looking at the purchase history, the last set at the cheaper price were sold on Sunday. Maybe ask the seller if it's a mistake or why he's put the prices up massively. I mean, if there's a demand, then yeah, maybe increase prices slightly if you want to make the most of it, but those are £100 more expensive that the original price

That is exactly what I thought... A bit cheeky hiking the price up that much. Nobody in there right mind would pay that much for some LED strips! I have just sent an email to the seller asking exactly whats going on, so will let you guys know what his/her response is

They're currently out of stock and eBay won't let them cancel the listing so they've hiked the price to stop people buying. Price will return to normal once they have more stock.

There response is exactly as MABR says. They are out of stock and have hiked the price so that nobody buys them as eBay wont let them cancel the listing. I am waiting for a reply on when they expect new stock to arrive

Yea mine too - responses that is - same fom 11 sellers on eBay - all out of stock, piss that I had some and cut them too short. I have just bought some 48 length LEDs and will mod them failing that then I'll have to wait till uk stocks are ok again - gutted. 48 LEDs for 5.49 Gbp ain't too bad - I just hope they work after cutting down to 27 to fit the lense Ro00

Yea I had a set of 30 before sharp blade And it goes through like butter np.
I have been thinking about getting some 24 led Amber bulbs for the indicators and a White one for the reverse - and only leave the brake light as an original bulb - with the option to replace with led - should I get the urge, thanks for the kind words T - am just waiting now for more bits to turn up. In the mean time I'm preparing cabling in the looms ready for when the LEDs turn up. Was thinking or a smart clip type solution - like a Tamiya buggy battery connector - somethin like that ? As for cutting the lenses I used a dremmel - nice and quick - just had to keep a steady hand (and nerve) - quiet tricky with a 3rd old (assisting) lol
I'll post some pics once I finally get them in . - reminder always RTFM !!!! Or in this case the how to !!
Thanks for confirmation if the lights functionality - T

the cutting isn't a problem, I used scissors! I got a amber strip for the indicators which fit inside the side light strip. these need to be 22 leds long

Well..... I was wondering about wiring some leds to the number plate lights, as one of my bulb holders has broken as they do and the other is bodged, as they are All I need now, is someone (nismo) to do a guide on putting leds in the black strip of the wing mirrors. As I have no side repeaters, I've wanted to do this for ages and did have a go a couple of years back, but the metal from the bulbs were shorting out on the metal in the wing mirror. However, now these leds have no wires or metal at the back and are encased, might be worth another go

I'm toting with this idea too and I will keep the lenses original, I just thought hope it will keep it in led keeping without making too blingy.
