Default eBay 6th Gen. Headlights, NO AMBER lense??

Saw these, don't know if others have. But it appears these are without the EGG YOLK amber lense. Typically hard to find if in fact they are......

Hi `Greg,
$127.34 seems like a high price to me for one headlight ?

I agree, the price is steep, but unfortunately it's right in the ballpark for a replacement head light assembly.

Yep, looks like a b/w photo to me also. The description says it matches OE color so my guess is it does have the amber lense. The (what appears to be) b/w photo gives it that 'euro' look and attracts more attention. I'd contact the seller and verify whether or not it has the amber lense prior to purchase.

Yeah that's a black and white photo. You would think the amber reflector would still show up as a darker portion. I'd love to get rid of the amber reflector in my headlights. The 2006-07's reflector are mounted in the bezel, whereas the 2000-05's are in the lens. Either way, just seems like too much of a hassle to tackle that project.

I know the headlight assembly mentioned is an aftermarket part, but you guys do know the list price for one of those headlight assemblies, factory OEM, is $260 right? I don't know exactly what a good price is for an aftermarket part, but from what I've seen with headlights, I'd say $127 for aftermarket is about right. Quality probably isn't nearly as high as the OEM's, which is always my issue with buying aftermarket with certain parts, especially headlight assemblies because of the crappy lens seals they tend to have.
