I bought a set of the clear ones last week. Got them fitted over the weekend. Will get you some pics when I get home. On the whole, I'm very happy with them

The only bit I'm not quite so keen on is the rubber seal round the edge is a different rubber to the original, and bonded on so you can't put the original on instead. Only a minor niggle though.

Souls also say they come with an extra 5w bulb which can be wired to the sidelights. I don't know if the orange ones do or not. If they do, it wouldn't be road legal in the UK to have them wired in, as you're not allowed orange side lights

Got my clears yesterday and they look fantastic on! Nearly went for the smoked ones though to match the repeaters but clear it is!

They do come with little bulbs on rubber gromits that sit in the side. Connectors are 1 male 1 female bullet connectors, going to have to lop those off and use a block connector arrangement to make them work with the side lights methinks!
