Paul : thanks for that info. Since I have no idea what the exchange rate happens to be, could you tell me the price in USD ?
Thanks,
Ted

Based on the current exchange rate you're looking at around $300 for the complete light fittings and $175 for just the LED light boards if you use the "L542cobra" discount code.
They use UK supplied lenses with the appropriate markings on them. The US supplied lenses as originally fitted to my Kirkham seem to be a darker red and block more of the light. The new units are very clear and bright and the brake light is clear to see, as is the indicator, even with the brake lights on.
They're massively better than the original bulb units and also much better than any other LED units I've seen. These were designed from the ground up specifically for Cobras and not just LED replacement bulbs.

Don't compare these to the other ones discussed on here. They're very different, but if you're building on a tight budget, they're probably not for you.
The components for the light boards alone cost more than the other lights cost.

Any videos of what the lights look like in-operation?
Are they separate top&bottom? Sounds like their lenses are superior (?)
thanks

Tell her that her safety is at the forefront of your mind and that these lights are to help protect her while she is in the car with you.  
Don't forget to use the L542cobra discount code.

I did indeed use the code. Honestly what you said is more or less the truth. Seems like an easy addition in the name of safety for these deathtraps.
Now to contradict that.

Don't get me wrong, I like her but...
Joking aside, and I hope you are sitting down, not only will there not be two roll bars, but there won't even be one |

If you do it right, you can remove them, or put them back in, and just cap the holes, at your convenience....

Whilst it isn't impossible, the chances of turning a Cobra over are pretty slim I think, unless you're a complete numpty. I'm sure you'll be fine.
I wonder how many of the roll bars fitted would actually stand up to being tested in a real world situation. 
To be clear, the prices quoted above are for a pair of light units, not each.

I had this pad made for my rollbar for exactly this reason. If I get rear-ended, I still want to see my kids grow up.... 
Nick liked it so much, he now sells it as a product.
