Yeah, I'm sure those Hella ones aren't tinted but the housing is smoked or painted....I think. And of course, you're paying for the new assemblies.

Well, if it's just tint, then you can just peel the tint off. Or if you replace them with the Hella ones, you can always swap the stock ones back.

Actually, mine isn't tint. Its a paint process with a clear coat finish. UN-peelable.

Or I can always go with the tints....but doubt if that could really last. Hella costs too much.....will only consider if the guy emails me back with higher prices....
