genuine vs valeo headlights LCI

my headlights got damaged from someone hitting my vehicle and wanted to upgrade to LCI. I was gonna purchase Valeo LCI to the tune of 1400 for the pair. I was ready to pull the trigger but i noticed the amber corner side of the headlight looked a little blurier and the inside of the light appeared to have a blacker interior housing color compared to the greyish originals. Does anybody have these would like to see how they feel about em and look OR does anybody have a decent set of LCI for a gd price clear corners would be a PLUS! or a place that sells them

There are sets on ebay, but they are shipped from Europe (which seems to be the case for any with clear coners). And for some of them you have to re-use your old bulbs and modules (if you have them)

BTW I saw someone selling a used pre-lci set on this site for around $500, which is a pretty good deal.

I got my LCI's on ebay for $300 shipped. Just good timing on my part.
But they didn't come with hid bulbs/ballasts/modules.

Keep looking!
