TNT in Round Rock has some. One thing to remember is they are most likely not legal (don't have amber reflectors). If you have cops that hassel people over that kind of stuff, or if you have safety inspections, you might not want them. Most of the time it won't be a big deal though.

do you mean the outlaw replicas?? If so I am looking into them too just for looks and will not affect brightness since they are only smoked on the outside of the light bucket area.If they are smoked on the whole lense then I would not get em..remember those velcro light shades in the 80's?? looked okay but cannot see anything at night.

Here is the ones I got. I believe the listing called them "euro" style lights, been a while and they still look brand new. But I put an amber bulb for the turn signal instead of the clear one that came with them.

I had some on mine before I did the full 05 front. Looked awesome!! I didn't have much trouble installing them. But I live in a rural area in central Montana, and wasn't impressed with the reduced light output at night. Even with Silverstar Ultra's, it wasn't enough for this part of the country. In town they were fine, but not out on the back roads away from the city lights.

There's a few pics of mine when they were on:
