Those are great. Won't ever get yellow/hazy.
while you're changing out the lens, you can joey mod your lights as well. Make it more your own. There's a diy for it in the diy section on this forum.
Cheapest, least frowned upon method of personalizing your headlights.

That's a good ebay seller too. Bookmark them. Most ebay stuff is garbage, but they have some decent stuff on there.

Volkswagen Jetta IV 1.8T > Lighting > Headlights > ES#2207874 Smoked Headlights - Pair - HVWJ4HL-B

I got a set of these sitting in my closet all cling wrapped up and in a box full bulb-ed up with ziza 7000k light fog/headlight and white high intensity LED city light. They were only on my car for 4 months before it got parked. They're still minty fresh, I just switched to retrofitted HIDs from roger.

to run the fogs you'll need a euro switch and this, bout 60$ total

No hurry to get rid of them but they're 150$ shipped. You'd have to get the switch and wiring yourself.
