you mean those that are $500 a pair and are the same as stock but black inside?

Why not purchase an extra set of stock ones and do the "Harley mod" yourself? That's what I did and they came out pretty good, besides the satisfaction of doing the work is very gratifying. I searched the forum for a DIY.

Retro fit them. Not only do they have awesome light output they also look much cleaner then the cheap eBay ones.
