    Are those the same ones you bought (same listing)? It's looking like I'll have to keep my current corners and just sell the amber/black ones if I do decide to purchase new lights. For some reason it looks like the clear corner/black combo are taking on some major fluctuations of supply, demand and price. And the people selling them know it. If I had some new black/clear corners I could probably get away with selling them for $100.

    I might have to snatch them up. God knows what the fate of the black/amber ones are as well. A MH1 could barely clear in a customer's one-piece headlights. Maybe a half inch of room from the bottom of the shroud to the reflector.

    Were they easy to open up?

    I looked at the post yesterday. They were $92.99. Looks like the seller took it upon themselves to add another 9.

    They'll be the last ones to go, but the rest are priced in the high 200s... I don't know who in their right mind would buy them

    I really want to send them all messages being like "I know what you're doing and you suck".

    On a side note, none of the vendors I asked about restocking the lights have an ETA on a new shipment. :/
