Default Black Headlights?

Anyone know where to purchase a set of black headlights for my VY vette? I have been keeping a close eye on eBay, but seems most of the black ones available are chipped/scratched pretty badly. Also not looking to spend $2000 for a new set.

Bought mine from forum member RLSebring. Great guy to deal with. He sells used & refurbished headlights. Occasionally he has new.

Thanks for the feedback. I have PM'd Sebring to see if he's got anything. I was under the assumption that it is very difficult to remove and re-install headlight lenses.
