Thanks to all. I did purchase these on ebay. I checked again now, they do not seem to be available. These were a little more expensive than most, I think they were around $150/set. I chose them because of the black highlights, they match the black cherry halo's that I have on the car. One last thing, the lights were a Christmas present from my wife. It took numerous hints, but she caught on. I guess she has earned passenger status for another year....

I've looked all around for those on ebay. Most aftermarket corner lights are in the $50-75 range on there, but I don't want the amber. The only place I've seen the black/clear (NO amber!!) lights are WCC, but they want $250 or something ridiculous.

I searched and found these lights. I only downloaded the photo, not the link due to forum rules. You can find them easily on *bay. The only difference is that they aren't as clear, but they are not amber.

Installation was a little over 2 hours, there is an excellent link on the forum with instructions. Here it is:
