    Coulda swore ebay has them for like 90-100 bucks, but I havent looked in a long time.

    Light out will be worse with stock headlights, less reflectors, they make cooler already prepped retro fit housings though if you don't wreck em lol.

    Well the brackets you can re use you stockers. Your still gonna have the beam being split up if you go with non black housings. I would have thought the black would stop scatter and blinding others as much

    They have a smaller chrome reflector that a standard housing. That is why the light output is horrible with these. You are better off opening a clear set and painting them yourself. That is what I did. Much better than the ebay lights in terms of output as I have had them as well.
