I got mine for around $300 a piece... I have gotten quotes from $285-$350. The $285 were offshore and had to be shipped, extra charges... Get them, they are worth it. I got those and tinted the top and bottom. Haven't seen them yet, being installed this weekend. Will post pics later. Good luck!

To me the 07 non-AMG lights look like AMG lights with a white/clear strip instead of a tinted strip in the middle...is there something I didnt notice about the rest of the new 07 non-AMG light?

Usually performance products is very competitive about its OEM parts...but even w/ the 10% off. I feel I can get them lower from one of my local dealers...

I reviewed a few pics of the 07 AMG lights and did see the clearness compared to the 03-06.....looks great, but that part will take some time to get it seems. I wonder if anything else about the red area of the light has changed when viewing in person?
