here's a few different types.

However, mine have become horribly oxidized and dull after just one year in the Arizona sun. I would reccomend just trimming the smoked lens to fit the factory housing as the mexican (or brazillian) housings are garbage and VERY dim. These also eliminate one of the bulbs from the stock housing, and you have to replace it with a dual filament bulb (for brake/tail light). AND the bulbholders that come with these are also junk. So, everthing about these is junk, except the lens, which you must armor-all religiously to keep it from fading. but they look SWEET, and for the price it's hard to go wrong.

Try memoimports.com - they make sure UV resistant acrylics are used for their parts.

I preferred the look of the these hella units from oeveedub.com (see below). The hella housings that go with them are well made also.
