Default Led glow ring headlights? Still made?

A guy locally has these headlights new with sealed plastic still on them for 150$ doesnt have the brackets but i have a few of similar binoculor headlights im assuming same brackets to bolt to original frame mounts.

Are these headlights LED glow ring constantly or just when headlights on? Is there a ballast resistor or led box needed or direct plg n play has the same 3 wire plug as the regular headlights they sell.

Are the bulbs replaceable and what bulbs do these use? Any special wiring them? the glow ring isnt the headlights correct theres other bulbs in there for hi low beams.

Mine are just the plain binocular headlights with h7 bulbs which are bright enough.

Heres photos are these still made and are they worth the 150$ locally without brackets and can the brackets be bought seperately? I have one extra bracket set if theyre the same as the other versions of these headlights.
You can see mine are aged 10 years and one has an internal haze that cant be buffed out. I dont know to stick with what i got or to purchase these use my brackets for 150$ locally brand new with plastic wrapper on top.

I agree these are better but they come with brackets everything needed to plug into the stock headlight plug? How much does a set of these run the guy has the glowring headlights for 150$ new no brackets or best offer why i was asking if theyre any good.

How much are those a guy had a set of stock headlights theyre 400$ each on ebay locally 550$ for both stockheadlights just they werent painted the same red. Said we could power probe them test their functionality for 550$ a pair.
