I got mine on Ebay for about $100, but I've also seen them on there for as low as $50. Just be sure that you buy the entire housing. Some of the ads are for just the lenses alone. I used the chrome coated amber bulbs from "Autolumination" to avoid the egg yolk effect.

Again , not white , but these are the "auction site" ones . I paid $82 delivered .
I used LED 194 bulbs for the signal bulbs , and Silverstar 4157? for the running lights .

I love the difference .

I got them off ebay as well. Shop around, you'll notice theres a difference in the way they look, I wanted ones that have the "clear lens" in the front not the frosty diffuse style ones.

However, I stuck with the amber. I had the "all clear" ones but then decided to put the "diamond cut" with amber ones back in for a little more color in front and less of the "honda" look.

check out www.autolumination.com for led bulbs. I made a post a few months ago when I converted all bulbs on the outside and many on the inside to leds

I thought nobody has found a LED for the front turn signal/DRL's yet, because they face "up".

Yep,....Ebay is your best bet for getting either style clear lense. I on the other hand don't really care for the crystal clear lenses, (or Diamond Clear) and that's because I like having the brightest DRL's I can get. The ones I bought have the horizontal lines across the front of the lense,....which magnifies the light making it much brighter than a crystal clear lense.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.



And here it is with the 3157 Silverstar bulbs.

not sure what your referring to but I have both my front drl/turn and the front running light in LED. for the drl/turn you can get amber, white (what i run) or one thats white but turns amber just when the flash is activated. Im my post (i can look for a link tonight after work) i listed all the bulb numbers you need
