I've got a set, but I've been looking for the lightbulb retainer ring for them.. which is impossible to find/buy anywhere. :(

I did however put the corner lights on. It quite different, I like it. However, they do dim the turn signals/parking lights quite a bit seeing as they're black 'reflectors'. I have yet to try the headlights, but I will soon.
 






Aftermarket lights like that are lower quality than OEM lamps and assemblies. The "Euro" multi-surface reflector design can give better output than the fluted lenses of the factory lamps, and the old factory lamps are usually yellowed and hazy, so new lamps of any kind are usually an improvement in light on the road. The clear versions put more light on the road than the "black" versions, at least the ones that actually coated the reflector surface with a black chrome finish. Those with a black plastic housing but chrome color reflector will still output a good amount of light.

Some members have them, though if you wanted those, you can usually find them online for a lot less than that site charges. They also make versions with projector lenses.
 






I have those and used them for my retrofit project. I just resealed them of course with more sealant then what was used to seal them from their factory. And yes you can definitely find them cheaper than $165.
