Default Dark Smoked Headlights

Has anyone here used these lights?

http://www.americanmuscle.com/sm99hewiclco.html

I just installed them on my 03 and am not sure how I feel about them yet. They required a bit of "finessing" to fit. American Muscle says that this is usually due to prior collision damage. My car has never been hit. They also seem to have a sort of green tint to them. I think the factory lights may look better at this point. Just wondering what others have experienced with their lights.

I thought about ordering a pair but I wanted to see them in person. Only thing I hear about them is to make sure you have H.I.D.'s when you install them due to the tint. any pics? what finessing did you have to do?

I have them on my 04. I honestly love them . I have the 6000k HID's and they shine though great. My lights did fit fine except the rubber gasket band that goes on the fender to the headlight is a pain. I had to take it off and reglue it and it still doesn't sit right. I also used clear silicone around the seam of each unit where it is bonded together or else it would condensate. I don't know how to post pics on the forum...sorry.
