Normally, I'd say that any Orion is good Orion, but it looks like there's absolutely no light coming through on the nighttime one. If that's the case, then I wouldn't get them. I'll live with the orange ones for now.
I certainly would take the Porsche off your hands, though, if you're running out of garage space.
Good to see that your whites stay white. Nice socks!

answeres..
welll I seen them on a E430 and they do have some lgiht comign trought, but in my case they dont let any light come trought.
Some people dislike that, but I actually dont like the way it looked with the lights.
Evosport might have them in stock, I dont know it took them a while to get mine ready...
well they were $90 to my door, I think its not cheap, but its a good price to pay for a quaity product that gives yoru car a more sportier look...
Theres no light coming trought the lenses, but maybe its because I plugged the bulbs in the wrong way or something, but I liek it better that way...

Definately a better look.
I couldn't factor in the $90 USD ... so I spent $12 bucks CDN to buy BLACK + clearcoat auto paint.
1 coat makes it match the body in shine. But didn't like the fact that the light came through at night. (I think the side mirrors+headlight amber is good enough) So I painted a total of 3 coats+1 clear coat (for protection).
Took about a day for waiting on all the drying, here's the result, and I save a few bucks.. hehe
